If you’re on a diet and struggling to shed pounds, Adam Milstead ’s problems probably seem like a blessing. But when you’re a heavyweight MMA fighter who’s struggling to maintain weight and you’re dealing with the aches and pains from carrying around the weight, it can be hindrance. That’s why former heavyweight Milstead (8-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is dropping back down to light heavyweight for tonight’s UFC 222 curtain-jerker against Jordan Johnson (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC). The preliminary-card bout, which streams on UFC Fight Pass prior to the pay-per-view main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will feature a leaner – and arguably healthier – Milstead.
