Wanderlei is a MW or LHW (205lbs) and walks around 215lbs or so while CroCop is naturally a HW and walks around 230ish but tends to fight around 225lbs. Anyways, Wanderlei bulked up in weight to fight in the OWGP and actually came in 2lbs heavier than CroCop for that fight. It was Wanderlei's first KO loss and it does not take anything away from him. Saw him in October and he is gonna be back kicking asses very soon, maybe NYE.
