He's not the first fighter to move up weight classes for a fight.

You asked why it was more difficult. He's training to fight with 25 more lbs to carry around. That's clearly more difficult than your typical training.
Regardless, its a stupid rematch to begin with and I can't believe the UFC was thinking about delaying a featherweight title fight for a fight that means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. That's pretty disrespectful to guys like Edgar who don't have anything on the table and now he's going to fight Aldo for an interim belt when the champ isn't even injured.
