    Joe Riggs

    I was at the gym today and I saw Joe working out. Man, he is BIG to be fighting at 170! If I had to guess, I would say he looked like a solid, lean 190.

    he is known for his enormous weight cutting. Very tough dude and solid fighter that can't seem to catch a break.

    I only heard Diaz's side of it....said he gave Joe an ass wuppin. Never heard what Joe had to say about it.

    He definitely looked BIG, and was killing the cardio!

    he can't seem to catch a break though. I thought the Hughes fight would be the turning point

    Yeah, he seems to be on the right track, but that division is stacked!

    he's in a tough spot because he is just outside of top tier in 170 & 185

    I agree, he's in that spot where he has to prove himself a bit to move up, but he can't prove himself without fighting one of the best. He also seems to be at a point where a few losses (even to good fighters) could break his career because a lot of people are ready to write him off because he hasn't completely lived up to his perceived potential.

    Hard to believe he was over 300 lbs at one point

    I have heard that, but have never seen proof. I saw a picture where he was supposedly 260....that's the biggest I have seen him. I will see if I can find and post it.
