Is 170LB Division going to be run by 6'2+ guys?

[Russie]

Islam may just be the last one standing over each of those 6'2+ guys.

Technically you could argue that the 170 lbs division is being ran by 190+ lbs fighters. (Which I guess you could argue for any weight class where the top fighters cut a lot of weight)

I don't understand how in a world where we've seen Stefan Struve get absolutely wrecked, people still think height has anything to do with fighting. I mean, did you not see the height difference between Horiguchi and the neck beard he destroyed?

Yes the best welterweight of all time who is 5'10"...not to mention lightweight champions Khabib, McGregor, dos Anjos, Alvarez, Topuria, Henderson...none of whom are even 5'10"

Classic sherdogger seemingly obsessed with height.

what's up midget?

Sean O'Malley is 6'1

sean o malley is 5'9. 5'10" at best

Whose bigger Sean Brady or Mak?

Always though Brady is the smallest WW currently ranked.

Woodley was a champ with successful defenses at 5'8,

That's true, but considering how Rory beat Woodley, I think some of the current tall, well-rounded fighters would be very tough match-ups for him. He had a draw and close fight with Wonderboy, and Till with a Fight IQ over 60 could've been a tough opponent as well.

Woodley always froze against people who didn't come into his right hand. He had some bizarre fights

True he looks 5'10 here. He's still listed as 6'1

Shavkat will gas out from carrying too much height, to be a WW champ you need to be coming in under 6 bills
