He could move up, he walks around at 158. He did elude to it in his post-fight conference after the Jens fight. But it would be just to fight Tyson Griffin, avenge his only loss.

I think Zuffa is happy with him in the WEC. He is a very marketable fighter that can build up the WEC and the lighter weight classes. Also, he would be a small 155er. Those guys are cutting down from 170-175. A more likely scenario is some of the smaller UFC 155ers (like Franky Edgar) maybe moving down to 145 once the WEC is built up.

I dont think he could take out Tyson either. Tyson's wrestling is just as good or better, BJJ better, Striking just as good, plus he is alsot bigger and stronger. Personally I dont think he could beat Roger Huerta, Clay Guida, or Joe Stevenson. If he does move up he needs to stick with WEC and try to take out Razor Rob then go after Jamie Varner. Or drop down and him and Migel Tores would be a great fight.

Sorry if I didn't spell any of those guys names right
