James Te Huna at Middleweight

Post by James Te Huna.

James Te Huna has posted on his Facebook page that he would like to make the move to the UFC's Middleweight Division after his recent loss to Shogun at the end of 2013. There was much talk of Shogun moving to Middleweight if he were to lose his bout to Te Huna, but instead Te Huna has decided to make the cut down to 185 lbs.

I believe that Te Huna could make the cut and possibly be a factor at 185 lbs.  Te Huna's overaggressive performance cost him the win as he was KO'd by Shogun Rua at UFC Fight Night: Australia.  Te Huna hasn't had his best year in the UFC in 2013 and looks forward to new beautiful things at 185 lbs.
