Should Chuck Change Weight Classes?

I was thinking of the moves of where he could go from here and I know that has already been debated . Does anyone feel that he could move up in weight to the HW class or down to the MW class . If so what would be the match up's you would be interested in seeing if any.

Chuck would have to move up in weight. He is already a thin LHW. I think his time is coming to an end. Maybe he can start up coaching.

If he could make that transition at such a late stage in his career to move up in weight , when I say if he could I mean if he could be successful enough to beat anyone at HW I know he can make the weight. I would like to see him fight the elite contenders. I dont think he would fell wair against Brock or Big Nog so I dont even know if he would have a place there.

unfortunately i dont think changing classes will do much. Chuck is just too one dimensional at this time in this sport. Ih he went up the big guys would overpower him and if he went down some of the more technical and faster fighter would present a whole new batch of problems. If he wants to continue at this level, and seek out another world championship his game plan has to be more than going for a one punch knock out.

i wouldnt call the mw division that technical, the ufc is lacking in the talent department for that weight class. i could see chuck getting some good wins in mw division but i think anderson would pick him apart and some other few would give him hard times, maia is another person that i could see giving him a hard time just cause he would force chuck to fight from his guard, so chuck would have to punish maia whenever he tries to come in. but i doubt he could cut the weight. and at heavy weight i see him doing really bad

I wouldnt mind seeing a 4th fight between chuck and randy at heavyweight. I think randy would beat him but it would make for a good fight.
