“He’s actually dropping to 155lbs. again, and I think it’s going to be a good move for him. If he jumps to 155, he’s going to be a handful for anyone. I figured he’d grow into a man’s body and that it would be extremely difficult for him to fight at 155, so he started fighting at 170lbs., but he walks around at 173lbs. I walk around at 180 and I’m only 5′9”. Now that we know that Dustin’s normal weight is 173 to 175lbs., we’re going to do everything we can to scientifically drop him off to 155lbs. so that he can maximize his performance at 155 and we’re going to go from there.”
Dustin Hazelett’s trainer Jorge Gurgel spoke to Heavy.com about “McLovin’s” decision to drop down to the lightweight division. After suffering back to back knockout losses to Paul Daley and Rick Story, Hazelett has decided to drop down a weight class and try his hand there. Gurgel expressed his confidence that Hazelett will be a handful for anyone at 155 lbs but the UFC lightweight division is one of the most fiercely contested weight classes in the organization. Will Hazelett add another threat to one of the deepest divisions in MMA or was making the cut to lightweight a worse decision than trying to stand up with Paul Daley?
