Average walking weight for all weight classes?

Some actually fight below their weight too.
I remember Jason Reinhardt, back in the day used to take fights at 170, he would weigh in at 164 and then cut to 155 for fight night.

LOL, must've been a big post-weigh-in shit!
 
It was common knowledge in the MMA community that Machida and Swick walked around at their natural weight. Don't know how you've missed it, under a rock? Machida LHW version never cut, Swick at MW never cut.

Are you calling Brazillians liars? You are lucky they aren't Armenian.

What? Why?
 
I'm not in the UFC, but cut from 145-125 and end up about 138 on fight night.

I don't cut all the weight overnight though, as it's usually about a 3-4 week process, with the last 10 coming off in 2 days prior to weighing in. I imagine that is generally similar for most pro fighters, but there is no hard and fast rule.
 
im gonna say there is no average. every fighter is different. can't image fighters cutting more than 30 pounds but i guess anythings possible.
