    what division would you fight in?
    say you were going to Become a Pro mma fighter... what division would you fight in?

    my current frame has me at lightweight. id try to pack on 10 pounds though so i could fight at welterweight. i think welterweight is the weakest division ATM. the top 5 guys are no joke but it gets significantly weaker outside of the top 5-7 i think.

    edit: im currently about 165-170

    Currently 230lbs and 10%bf. I'd should be able to cut the 25lbs and make light-heavy no problems. Unfortunately my only skill would be wrestling. I'd get rocked.

          I'm 180 now, but could make 155 if I was getting paid to do it.

                Tried fighting at 185 coming down from 215. Won my fight but because the size of the guys who fight in that division I kept losing weight so I could fight at 170lbs. If I'm gonna get paid for it then I would even try getting as low as 155.

                      Id be satisfied if I made it in to the semi-retarded division...but realistically Id do well to make the "Downs" division!

                        I actually had a dream the other day that I was about to weigh ins at an amateur show. As I lined up to weigh in I realized that I forgot to cut. I was 200lbs and was meant to be fighting at 170lbs. Instead of facing the embarrassment on the scales I chose to flee the building.

                        If I do choose to fight in amateur MMA I'd try my best to shed some muscle and make 170. I've been lifting and eating too much and the extra muscle I have put on hasn't done my cardio any good.

                                For MMA I would probably drain down to 155 (lightweight) since the next class up is 170, which is close to the weight I walk around at. For boxing I'd probably go to 160 (middleweight) in order to save myself the torture of sweating off so much weight.

                                      lightweight for me, have to cut a few pounds, but I like my height at lightweight rather than middle.

                                        I would wait for Pride>UFC to post the list of cans and fight in the division that has the most.

                                            I would join the heavyweight division, change my name to "The Truth" make a title run, win the belt, then drop down to 205 and take that belt too. Then rub it in Vera's face.

                                              I could hit FW but at 5'11 i would be one emaciated mofo. 160 is a very comfortable weight for me.

                                                      Did Jiu Jitsu at 135 for awhile when I was 20...but I hit a growth spurt and I'm at about 160 and growing. Ideally I would like to be around 190 and cut to 170 before I'm 23. (At 5'11) But we'll see.
