Tom Breese feels like a ‘cardio machine’ without ‘ridiculous’ cuts to 170

Tom Breese wants to make the kind of statement that ripples throughout the entire middleweight division in his second outing at 185 pounds when he meets Ian Heinisch at UFC London.

In his early UFC tenure, fans and media marveled at how the towering Birmingham native cut down to the welterweight limit. After three wins at welterweight, Breese picked up his first career loss to Sean Strickland, which prompted him to rethink his future in the bracket.

He reemerged at 185 pounds after nearly two years on the sidelines to bank an emphatic first-round win over the notoriously durable Aussie, Dan Kelly, at UFC Liverpool.
