I think if there was any possibility that Ricks between fights lifestyle was having a serious effect on his making weight it would have been curbed by now. As things are he is making the target weights he is set along the way and having no trouble on the scales. Sure he couldnt keep it up for ever, but he openly doesnt plan to, two maybe three years (which means roughly six more times) and that will be it.

Personally I think he looks nothing like a man thats struggling. He looks like he is happy, in shape, and he looks like he's been thumped in the eye a good few times by a big Iranian.
