It sounds like you think Ricky would struggle to get to 140?
Naah man, I'm just saying that as he gets older and his career moves on that he is going to struggle making it down to the weight, same as every other fighter. I was a little concerned that not having been at 140 for over a year, it might be getting hard for him. by nailing 139, he showed he still can, and that return to 147 won't be for a while yet.
He had a 13 week training camp to bring it down correctly. I think he will make it for a couple of years yet regardless of how he balloons between fights.

He has been at fighting weight for almost a week so he didn't have to tackle weight loss, fighting with his body clock, the altitude change and jetlag. He has also had flu!
