Media Dricus du plessis walk around weight.

[AndrewGolota48]

He's cope-celling that he's bigger than he really is after being ruthlessly Amogged by MMA Guru. That inflated walk around weight reeks of insecurity.

 

[Khaosan]

I’m more interested in his walk around height.

 

[joy2day]

Some of these guys cut an incredible amount of weight. If he's that big, and he is in shape (i.e. not pulling a Paddy), he's really big for that weight.

Alex cut a crazy amount of weight to get to MW also.

Khabib actually is 10-15 pounds heavier than GSP, which is amazing (source: GSP). Khabib walks around above 200.

 

[JustOnce]

I don't think Crocop gets enough credit for fighting at heavyweight when he was sub-230 in there.

As he got older, he bulked up but yeah.

True legend.

I like DDP though. He looks big but didn't think he cut that much. Hope he can beat Strickland the teep, jab master and fight Khamzat...

"Walk around weight"= 15-25lbs out of shape

He's mentioned that his fit, in camp weight is 220, by weighs around 212- 215 on fight night

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

That is crazy … I thought Paulo Costa was the heaviest one …

No way dude walks in 230s. 215-225 more believable at 6'0 big frame.

Regardless dude is a beast.

 

[Wormwood]

Is that even small for LHW?

Tito used to walk around at 220 and his head was huge for 205.

Fixed

 

[Preston broadus]

Dricus has the size and skill to surpass everyone. He'll beat Strickland. Go up and take the belt from poatan (hoping he beats ankalaev) and defend it a few times before taking the hw title.

That's believable. Costa was around 214.
They are about as tall.
DDP has 4 more inches in reach. Costas arms look so big, because they are short.
Darker skin also makes you look more muscular because of the contrast.

That being said, DDP looks a little bit lighter than usual. Maybe he doesn't want to be so tired at the end of the 5th like in the first fight.
And he knows Strickland has top notch cardio.

Tito would be fighting at MW today. Over the last decade fighters have figured out how to game the weight system perfectly.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

I sure wish they would get rid of the weight cutting part of the sport.

Why? All it will do is move everyone up one weight class. It doesn’t change anything. He’s a normal sized MW who gets a little heavy between camps. Walk around weight means nothing.

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

This needs to stop:

SAME DAY WEIGHT INS!!!!!

Tito would be fighting at MW today. Over the last decade fighters have figured out how to game the weight system perfectly.

I don't know, Tito was ahead of his time with that, he was one of the biggest LHWs, which allowed him to beat superior wrestlers like Matyushenko. He's not as big as Jones and the era of LHW after than but he's still too big for 185 I think, unless he got really emaciated.

He's a naturally bigger guy than Dricus, for example, but not as artificially bulked up.

He likes to be lighter when he fights in Australia because of their weigh in protocols that have shorter rehydration times

 

[Black Blood]

He is indeed a big boy. Used to fight at WW too.
