An outspoken critic of drastic weight-cutting in MMA, Nelson says his good friend and training partner is pushing the limit cutting down to 145 pounds.
"Yea, he does a big cut," Nelson told Submission Radio. "He doesn't like it and I don't think he's going to do it much longer. I think he's going to move up. I think he wants to move up. I don't blame it. I wouldn't be able to this cut too many times. It definitely takes it out of you. There's no doubt.
"He has a lot of energy and he'll toughen through it and fight really well even though he does that cut.
