The average fighter at TAM is a wrestling Cruiser weight.

This is around the same size as the average Luchador.

With all of the departures from TAM they need a way to survive.

I believe if they morph their camp into more Luchador based camp rather then MMA they will get more members.

I do not believe that the training for Lucha and MMA is all that different so its a rather easy fit.

 
Yes, yes they should train masked fighters. It worked out well for doc caceras against mirko.
 
I don't care about any of that Mexican Wrestling shit.

IDK but I wish they would get rid of these terrible weigh classes. 125, 135, 145...hell 155 is boring. These are manlets straight up. MMA doesn't need guys that are so fucking tiny they aren't even close to the size of an average person. It is like a freak show, it might as well be midgets fighting...part of why boxing sucks so bad. Leave the lower classes 115-145 to the females. Would be the best thing the UFC could even do. Period. Best choice they could ever make for the future of MMA. Sadly, Dana sucks at his job and the UFC are clueless when it comes to making smart decisions to help them or the sport. They are so incompetent, just wait till Zuffa gets smart and starts acting like a real company and not some mafia front circus.

ps- I wish TAM would just fall into the ocean, I can't tell you how much I dislike these guys. Even the females that train there just reek of douchebroness. Nothing in the world is half as bad as douchebros, especially in MMA.

Didn't that guy end up becoming the WWE/WWF champion?

145 and 155 are two of the best weight classes in the UFC and also two of the most stacked divisions.
135 is solid as well.

Do you even watch the fights?

I've never understood the knee-jerk defense of the smaller weight classes. Why is it such a big deal that some of us don't dig watching fights with small men? I don't see anyone jumping to the defense of the heavyweights when someone calls their fights boring...

I've never understood the need to shit all over the smaller weight classes regardless of the quality of fights that they produce. Why is it such a big deal that some of us can still appreciate watching smaller martial artists fight? Especially since the fights that they produce are generally a lot higher level of MMA than the heavyweights?

You felt the need to make a long post expressing your opinion that every weight class below 170 is garbage. Why is it considered a "knee-jerk" reaction for me to express my difference in opinion?
 
I enjoy both MMA and Pro Wrestling, so I enjoy this post, for the humor of it, haha.

High flyers/ cruiser weights/ Luchadors always fun to watch, in my opinion.

I do enjoy the smaller weight classes (145, 155) probably because when I've met athletes at expos I feel like we have similar heights and frames, so I feel like I can relate to them more. In the sense that, the college football players I knew in under grad were massive compared to me, so I feel more of a separation when I'm watching those games on Saturdays.

Not that I'll ever possess a iota of any of their athleticism, but hopefully that makes some sense.

Not sure if it's worth responding to (considering we are all entitled to our own opinions and have our own acquired tastes) but freak show seems harsh. some 145ers and 155ers walk around in the 160s-175s, and are between 5-8 and 5-10? pretty average sized guys?

Although I'll admit I've watched matches I consider freak shows, I might think of Mariusz Pudzianowski v Tim Sylvia or something including Hong Man Choi though? Maybe that makes me just as critical... Hmmm.
