UFC 130 Fight card has Tim Boetsch fighting at a new weight
It’s an athletic principle at its finest: if you are good at something just imagine how good you would be if you weren’t carrying around all that extra weight.
This applies to almost anything athletically expect for Sumo wrestling and any offensive and defensive line position.
The principle made sense to Tim Boetsch. The UFC fighter looking to take out Kendall Grove at UFC 130 will be attempted to do so at a lighter, more freeing version of himself.

After his UFC 123 bout with Phil Davis he quickly realized that he might be fighting in the wrong weight class. Now Boetsch tries out his slender new form against Kendall Grove.
Grove is going to have his hands will with a powerful Boetsch. He’s got the strength of a guy who naturally belongs in a higher weight class, but the speed of a guy who’s fighter right where he belong. Grove has been a very hit or miss kind of fighter. He looks good one fight and looks awful the next. His last fight was a loss so perhaps that’s a sign of things to come.
I’ll take Boetsch in this one. I like a fighter with consistency and Grove hasn’t proven himself to always rise to the occasion.
