The holidays and possibly some intense weight work may have Quinton Jackson, Georges St. Pierre and Diego Sanchez considering a jump to a new weight class. Jackson was seen last night in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock's new club Vanity. St. Pierre is pictured with heavyweight Brendan Schaub and middleweight Nate Marquardt. GSP looks like the thickest guy of the bunch.
GSP and Sanchez (not pictured) have actually given hints about a move up. St. Pierre told the media throng before UFC 108 that he was considering the jump to 185 pounds. Sanchez posted on his Facebook page that he may go back to welterweight where he was 8-2 in the UFC. Sanchez has little shot at the title at 170, he's simply too small to compete with guy's who walk around between 185-195 pounds. But he can get back in the mix at 155 with possible fights against Gray Maynard, Tyson Griffin, Takanori Gomi and Kenny Florian. MMA for Real says Sanchez is in no man's land. We say he's fine at lightweight, B.J. Penn won't be around forever.
Meanwhile, Rampage to heavyweight is purely speculation. But by the looks of his new Mr. T persona, there won't be a "jump" necessary. What is that 230 pounds?
