    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.

    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.

    I'm 6'0" and walk around at 175 lbs right now, but I could easily cut and dehydrate to featherweight/145 lbs.

    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.
