After his latest loss, James Vick is changing weight classes.
Vick, who lost to Dan Hooker by first-round knockout last weekend at UFC San Antonio, announced Wednesday he is moving up to the welterweight division.
Vick said cutting down to 155 pounds “has really sucked these past few years,” but was adamant his recent losses were not a result of it.
