What's the heaviest I can get at 5'7? Could I make it in UFC heavyweight division at 5'7? I have this need to beat everyone but my size advantage might hurt me. I think I'm small but I still have a shot.

I miss the pre-weight cutting era when manlets dared to fight above lightweight. Now if you're under 5'11', forget it, you'll get lit up by Chads.
You could probably still get away with it in heavyweight, the talent pool is more like a puddle.
Yep, he mogs you
>my size advantage
what did he mean by this
Advantaged in his ability to not hit his head against (most) tree branches when running at full speed.
disadvantage my mistake
How old are you OP?
23
It's too late for you. You will never have what it takes. The ship has sailed for your pro fighting career
There are many fighters in the UFC now who started at 23
They have what it takes.
You don't.
Post body to prove me wrong
>Post body to prove me wrong
kind of irrelevant as long as he at least looks close to Daniel Cormier and has the skills to back up the talk
sure this is my body
Those are the smallest nipples I have ever seen
damn, wish I was young like that. I'm 26 and I have not even enrolled in a fighting club so it's literally over for me before it even started.
Don't waste your time like I did kid, go get that belt kek it's cringe even in my head
homie that's 3 years are you moronic? you would beat 90% in the world people in like 6 months of bjj
What is even your point homie?
Around middle or welter weight, higher than that and you are fighting actual giants at like 6'2 and above
Daniel Cormier is 5'9. I hope you're an Olympic level wrestler.
I want to be the Gordon Ryan of heavyweight. They're jiu jitsu is so terrible that even though I'm short I would dominate because of my muscle and my jiu jitsu experience.
go for it OP I believe in you.
Thank you I've actually thought hard about it. Even the pros suck at defense for leg lock imagine what the amateur scene is like bunch of moronic brawlers if you practice leg locks for a year I bet you would win 99% of amateur fights
you can be the next frank mir
and get out struck by jds
You have it backwards. In combat sports you want to maximize your frame size. YES you can beat a taller more rangey fighter, but that's the exception and not the rule.
So basically unless you have the size to fight heavyweight, you want to fight at the lightest weight class you can cut down to and maintain enough muscle to win.
He was a legend

You'd be a blob basically but you could use your lower center of gravity to your advantage.
The scariest thing about this video is that in higher quality the fat dwarf manhandling bambi has an absolute stunner of a face.
hard to say because you want to stay lean enough to be able to move around and not tire yourself out. yes there are 200 lb bodybuilders at your height but they probably have too much mass (at their size) to do well in the octagon, at least against a much taller opponent
I don't think it's physically possible for you to beat any given heavyweight to be honest
If you did it would be legendary though
why would you want to fight heavyweight at 5'7? the guys in heavyweight are like 6'4+
There was a really buff 5'8" LHW fighter in the UFC recently. He gassed within the first minute
tim sylvia was so gross and unathletic
