Is Hendo a small mw

[MMABr]

However, Glover is fucking massive. Maybe he'd have more success at HW, he'll still retain his power and cardio, but now will have a pretty decent speed advantage. He'll probably be a little smaller than Cain, if not around the same size.

we're getting a bit off topic here, but yeah, I agree. He has already fought at HW some times in the past and looked leaner than Cain at the same weight btw.

Meh, I don't think he's a small MW. He has that very dense looking muscle tissue so I can't imagine him ever being able to make WW. Everyone has an optimum weight and for him it's MW, IMO.

At the very least, 185 should not be a problem. He has fought at 176 and 183 before when he was younger. If got scientific about the weight cut I'm sure he could hit it.

looking at those pics i thought he was 5'11, looking closer he looks more 5'10 what a badass

He's off trt so he has lost some mass

Henderson doesn't cut insane amounts of weight.
Maybe there will be a study on how this can give you a long career?

He's a small lhw

 

[Kingfarthur]

Hendo is an average sized WW based off his weigh in of 199. Hendicks walks around at 210-230 and Lombard and Woodley aren't far behind.
