Re: UFC 76
I didn't hear it, but I read that Rogan made an interesting point about certain Pride fighters. He mentioned that it seemed like a lot of Pride guys fight at a more natural weight, while most everyone in the UFC is cutting a bunch. For instance, I think Randy said before his fight with Gonzaga that Forrest was walking around at something like 240 at the time.
The big 3 Pride HWs are all relatively small HWs who could all conceivably fight at 205. Big Nog's twin fights there and Fedor has a lot of water weight he could lose. Cro Cop would be tougher because his body looks pretty cut, but it's not out of the question for him to shed a bit of muscle.
It's an interesting theory, though Rogan has been going a bit nuts about cutting weight recently.
