Took the cub swanson fight on short notice. Was 187lbs. Was 176lbs the week of the fight but made weight.

Walk around weight is one of the most overrated metrics.

Some fighters get chubby out of camp, but that doesn't mean that they actually cut that much water and/or are size bullies.

and conor still knocked him unconscious at 145,no words

Not according to sherdog logic. Sherdog logic says move up to middleweight!

apparently his wife had to completely drain his balls for him to make 145

I mean, I can think of worse ways to make 145 over that lol.

This

Ricky Hatton fought at 140 and regularly walked around at 185-90 and got fat

Lol he's now 300lbs

Prince Nasseem also let himself go

 

[Maripucci]

GSP is one of the very few professional MMA fighters that was always in shape instead of having to waste time in camp to get into shape and lose weight. Buddy was/is always/still shredded.

5'9 185-190lbs is normal for an average male.

People don't understand fight shape on sherdog. By thag logic, Dustin should fight at ww or mw!

I agree with you guys. Peak shape is different from average shape

I shudder to think what Izzy does to make weight..

Agreed

Tbf Ricky hatton was fat as he is about 5'6

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Prince is about 400lb at 5'2 lol

 

[DoctorDeelon]

It's a dangerous game. Sure you can have a size advantage, but you can also effect your performance and potentially shorten your career. He did lose that fight to Cub Swanson when he cut all that weight.

 

[Peli]

Agreed

Haha I was speaking more about Dustin but yes Ricky really let himself go

5'9 190 isn't normal, its quite chubby for the average male. Average for 5'9 is like 130-160lbs at say 15% body fat depending on musculature and frame. If you're 5'9 and at or over 170lbs at 15% body fat you hit the gym and are noticeably more muscular than normies.

We need more threads about how Shane Carwin was able to cut height so efficiently.

Fair enough. I'm pretty sure he's in shape although he might be a little fat. Khabib is 192 right now. Doesn't appear to look like a fat fuck yet. I'm sure Chandler walks around 185-190, same thing though as he agreed the gut is starting to show

Point is these fighters keep some relative shape even when out of camp. They're not as mean as fight camp but regular his walking the street probably would like to be in that shake

Dustin is a big ass dude. Hooker said he weighed 183 lbs on fight night and I believe him. Ariel said he weighed 177 lbs on fight night versus Conor.
