Why is the UFC so heavy on small athletes nowadays ?

LHW had a 2 dominant champs (Alex and Jon Jones) that made a lot of ppl look bad. One generation of LHWs (Dom Reyes and Johnny Walker etc) turned out to be busts. Without Jon Jones actually losing the belt, the title kinda lost it's shine. Also a big group of vets got poached by Bellator at one point that kinda affected the transition. Now they had a charisma black hole of a champ. Dana must be praying that Alex takes the title back from Ankalaev. The other contenders have to step up.

HW has changed after USADA. Without PEDs it turns out majority of HWs look more like Marcin Tybura rather than Overeem or Brock Lesnar. We get sloppy as fights where ppl slog out 5 round snoozefeats.
 
I agree, a lot of the cards are just filled with unranked flyweights and bantamweights fighting to decisions, sometimes it's fun but it feels like there are no interesting fights between unranked LHWs or HWs. MW is the only bigger division that is doing good right now
 
The vast majority of the talent in MMA is at 135-155 these days, especially with weight cutting being so OTT now. Tons of the 135-145'ers would have been 155'ers 15 years ago and tons of the 155'ers would have been WWs.
 
At just about every MMA gym I've trained at, MMA is generally a small person's sport. I'm usually the biggest guy at any gym I train at (and not the good type of "big", aka heavy/fat) and have trouble finding partners to train with.

You are malnurished. People in Europe are like 5'11 in average. 200 isn't fat. It's mid sized. Some are 150 some 250 ect. 200 on 5'11 isn't fat. You just don't got money for food and are hating.

Yeah I'm 6 foot 3 225 and I'm American we all have money for food. If you think 5 11 200 pounds is normal then you should probably check with a dr on that
 
Europe and india are the most fertile grounds. We got a LOT of rivers. We grow a lot of food. So we are naturally heavier. I personaly am half fat half strong. But just being 200 pounds is not fat. I was 105 kg with a flat stomach. I am part fat part fit now. But just calling all HWs fat is as bad as me calling you small or whatever. You said fat first. If it's true ok. But 200 pounds is not fat. It can be fat. But not on 5'11. 200 5'11 can be fat depending on body composition. It's ignorant to call everyone 200 and above fat.

If someone is fat calling them fat is still insulting. Ok guys I'm on my way to the gym, stay fit.
 
You also don't call a man small, that is insulting too.
 
I used to be bigoted against the lower weight classes, eventually I got into 145 and realized it's a fantastic weight class, but still didn't care much for 135 or 125, but soon realized 135 is incredible as well as evidenced by TJ vs Cogar being some of my favorite fights....but I still can't get into 125.
 
OP must be eastern European. I cant see a western European thinking like this. Theyre all woke cucks who love to virtue signal their favorability of having tiny men the size of children and women being DEI'd into the sport of MMA.

We all know Europe is healthier than the USA, check the facts. 200 pounds of corn syrup and Mcdonalds vs 200 pounds of sun ripped tomatoes and fresh chicken. 200 pounds 5'11 in Europe is a healthy person. Your weight isn't quality if you are fat at 200 being tall.

I like everyone. Midget aka being up to 4'9 doesn't make you less of a good person. I want 2/3 of UFC contests to be from LW and up. 1/3 of all contests being 125 135 145 and WMMA is enough. According to my preferences. It's just my preference. You can go watch 7 hours of 105 atomweight fights each saturday if you fancy that.

125 shouldn't exist. But 135 has had plenty of exciting fighters with one punch knockout power. Cody Garbarant, O'Malley, Dillashaw, Aldo etc.. That division has been pretty stacked.

Sherdogers think they are suffisticated MMA fans if they say HW sucks and 125 is the best division.
