Is Paddy the largest LW ever?

[freakroor]

If I recall Nick Diaz fought at 160, not 155.

ah, you're right. idk why i thought he weighed in at 156 against gomi. Still though it's basically lightweight

 

[BigOlJeet]

Who cares, they made weight.

 

[Feaser]

A little bit out of subject, but WHY there is no weight scale at the start of the fight, so we could all know their "real" fighting weight? (instead of this useless info where all fighters are 155/156)

Username checks out.

I agree they should do this.

 

[Deltron 6060]

wow, with arguments as smart as that, I will definitly loose brain cells if I continue arguing with you.

"Loose" I'm guessing you don't have many brain cells to LOSE anyway.

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

I would guess that Gleison Tibau and Benoit Saint Denis are bigger, but that's just a guess. I dont know what their walk around weight or in cage weight is. just the eye test

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

Yeah he looked fucking big in there, not just because of Chandler... in general. Looks like a WW.

Many sources mention Paddy walking weight average around 91kg and BSD weight of 80kg. To know which one is bigger, these facts seems more reliable than an eye test through TV of 2 people which have never stand up next to each other.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Gray Maynard used to look massive, though i guess I'm thinking of the Frankie fights where he fought at walkaround pretty much.

nooo! Dagestani wankers like @D 1 Wrestler told me that Khabibw

@Deltron 6060 according to this one, BSD is the lightest after Max and Fiziev

LOL at the nerd who made that list.

Only reliable info we have is when these dudes fight in California and have to weigh in on fight night.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Paddy is listed at 5'10

and Chandler 5'8

wtf?

Not even a small chance Chandler is 5'8". 5'6"..... maybe

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Many sources mention Paddy walking weight average around 91kg and BSD weight of 80kg. To know which one is bigger, these facts seems more reliable than an eye test through TV of 2 people which have never stand up next to each other.

But Paddy gets pretty much obese in between fights. Does not mean he is heavier on fight night.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Mike Goldberg told me Gray Maynard weighs 200 lbs in the cage

Grey “The Weight Bully” Manard?

 

[NoSmilez]

He’s not. He is around Islam’s or gheycheese’s size. Moicano is also around there or slightly heavier.

i dont necessary agree....walk around weight is only 1 indication. in cage weight is actually what they weigh when they fight and a better indication than walking weigt. Paddy is known to blow up like a balloon within days after a fight. Paddy gets very fat very quickly.

Tibau was very very big and roided. St Denis is big and powerfull as well. I am more interested in their in cage weight than walkaround weight just because most fighters stay quite in shape outside of fight week(s) while Paddy clearly does not.

Of course the eye test is very misleading, but I dont know how much they regain after weighing in and I am too lazy to find out

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Feel free to give examples. I can only think of Tibau being as big.

Khabib
Tony Ferguson
Islam

Thinly veiled cope thread.

 

[HP_Nut]

I'm not so sure about that. Weight cutting is greater in general than it was in GSP's day. Some fighters cut huge amounts of weight, like Alex at 231 fighting MW.

GSP said that when he was talking about a fight between them- that Khabib was bigger than him because he is 185 and Khabib is 200 normally.

You think Khabib cuts 45 lbs to make 155? California State Athletic Commission weighed Islam & Moicano, their weight on fight night was 178 lbs for Islam & 182 lbs for Moicano. The 182 lbs is the heaviest officially recorded fight night weight of any UFC LW.

Alex himself said his weight on fight night at his heaviest for MW was 218 lbs. You’re talking about walk around weight, which isn’t as accurate because some guys get fat or out of shape before they sign for a fight.

I think GSP is the GOAT, Khabib isn’t even close because he has way too few title defenses. But I’m not gonna blindly go with everything GSP says about weight. Khabib fought at WW & looked skinny fat. GSP was 193 lbs when he fought Shields & looked massive while still having great abs. When GSP was asked about fighting Anderson, he tried to claim Anderson was 45 lbs bigger than him. I don’t think GSP owes it to anyone to move up, but there’s no way that’s the true size difference inside the cage

How GSP loses 23 pounds, then gains it back overnight
