Who is the most stretchy fighter ever?

Will Chope - 6'4 FW

"Yeah man, you should totally fight at 145. It's a good fit for your height"

 

[Kumason]

Rumble does massive weight cuts. The rest aren't really thick, just tall and lean. So it's not really a massive weight cut compared to people cutting with a lot of muscle mass. Hooker cuts a lot though, he's not really lean like Sandhagen is in BW. This is why Sandhagen gets overpowered in his fights, he's not really strong for his frame.

There was a lot of weights for fighters on fight night released and Cory was one of the lightest on fight night in the division (of the released weights). You probably seen it. Yet he's often called a weight bully, one of the most annoying terms used around here because it's almost always simply because a guy is tall. TS using Cory and Izzy as examples of big weight cut was like wtf

Kendall Grove 6'6 MW
Corey Hill 6'6 LW

Da Spyder was my first thought. Dude is lanky at 185.

Crazy how Jones being 6 ft 4 LHW was once considered huge. 4 divisions lower.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Cory Hill was 6'4"

Corey Hill 6'4 LW

y'all saved me from having to type out some questions like "who was the former TUFer that had a nasty leg break, then died some years later?"

first one I thought of when I read the OP, liked him back in the day, but could not recall his name.

always wondered if that leg injury had anything to do with how scrawny he was.

Nah I don't consider him a weight bully. People need to stop confusing height with overall size. Izzy and Cory are thin, people saw what happened when Izzy moved up in weight - he's just taller than most at MW. Cory is just taller as well but not very muscular and that's why he gets outmuscled at BW. That's why there's not much punching power and he tends to point fight instead. He has power in his kicks/knees though.

Hooker is different though because he's tall and has muscle mass, so he's doing massive cuts.

Was just reading about 6 ft 0 Hooker making FW? Got me thinking which fighter has made the most extreme weight cut.

5 ft 11 Cory at BW?
6 ft 2 Rumble at WW?
6 ft 4 Izzy at MW?

Who is it?

Rumble wasn't that thin as a WW. He looked like a slightly taller and leaner version of Usman.

The Diaz Bros have that natural skinny guy element to them, especially Nate. 6 foot at LW is pretty tall, and he's not a guy that cuts a ton of weight. He's like a bit over 170lbs, which is average for a LW.

I think the winner is the 6 ft 4 FW Chope.

UNLESS someone can find a 6 ft 4 BW.

 

[Swarthy]

Its gotta be Rumble at ww right?

 

[ferrisjso]

And OMG there is a 6 ft 4 BW!

There are multiple guys popping up at lightweight right now between 6'0 and 6'3. Its insane.

Tony doesn't make sense, how he didn't tap and how nothing tore.

Lesnar making HW.

btw thread title is weird compared to your post. I thought you were talking flexibility like some of the women show to get out of submissions.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Shane Carwin world champ height cutter obviously

 

[GeneTunney7]

Khamzat is like the same dimensions as Rumble. Rumble was thicc but did not have that insane of height/reach/"stretch" for welterweight.

Miguel Torres had a pretty insane reach for bantamweight - 76 inches. That is 4 more inches than hw champ DC. Cory obviously has freaky height for that class.

 

[Bluesbreaker]

Da Spyder was my first thought. Dude is lanky at 185.

I remember him dwarfing the SUPER HLUK Champion in, I think, Pro Elite.
