Can someone do the same with the actual fighters that do seem to cut a lot ? I'm thiking of Rockhold, Weidman, Conor ??

Here is the actual post :



*Please note that the sources vary and some of the numbers are what the fighter cuts water from because I couldn't find numbers for what they actually walk around at, whereas some of the numbers are what fighters weigh when not training at all. It's just to give you a general idea of what they weigh when not cutting*

Please feel free to add more recent/trustworthy sources to the fighters I have here, or to add some of your own fighters if you can provide a source for it. I'll check the thread and update the OP every few pages.

thread is about walk around weight, when most info seems to be about what they weigh walking into the cage. walkaround would be early in camp, between fights, or at least before any serious weight cutting and diet.
 
Yeah unfortunately this is way off. Anderson is 230 when he gets fat. His natural weight is closer to 197. Fitch is a huge WW as well. Penn weighs more than 168 now but thats not even close to his natural weight. It would be better to ask the fighters if they let themselves go between fights. Some do and some dont.

Yeah, but what you gonna do? There's just not enough info out there. Prolly just add 10-15 pounds for 'off-season' walk around weight for most. Some prolly don't vary much.

It's still interesting info. Thanks TS

there's just such a disparity between say, rampage's cage weight and his fatty mcfatterson walkaround weight. hendricks too. other guys like gsp seem not to get super fat between fights.
 
I'm pretty sure I saw something about Forrest a while ago being 240ish,had a bit of a gut on him too,
 
During the build up to Jones vs Cormier.

Jon told DC he was going to be 227 lbs young, healthy, and athletic.
 
Shanw Carwin 6'7 295lbs before cut.
 
Who gives a crap.

Wake me up when you have their fight night weight.

Rampage walks around 250+ lbs. Is he a HW? No.
