    Nate Marquardt was happy to beat Dan Miller this weekend at UFC 128 but gave up a fair bit of size in the bout. He has been living at about 190-lbs. for the last few months and is getting comfortable with the idea of making 170.

    He could be a monster down there.

    Easy to see his motivation after getting out-muscled by Sonnen and Okami.

    Always thought of him as a big 185er. Why has he only been walking around at 190 lbs lately?

    Same here. I thought he was a pretty big 185'er

    GSP used to be a big welterweight, too. Now he is pretty average.

    In the last two years or so guys have been getting bigger.
