I heard Anderson Silva normally weighs 215 lbs after he weighs in and gains back his water weight before his fights. Joe Rogan Said Tito Ortiz fights at over 220. I have strong arms and I'm a good fighter but I'm really skinny. I'm considering a career in MMA but get this: I'm 6 feet tall and I only weigh between 150 and 155 lbs right now. I used to weigh close to 160 when I was going to the gym a lot, but I've never gotten serious about using creatine and protein to put on a lot of muscle. Obviously I'll put on a lot of muscle before I fight competitively, but the question is, how much muscle should I put on? If I got really serious I bet I could put on at least 50 lbs, so does that mean when I cut water weight I should fight at welterweight or middleweight? Being a lightweight fighter at 6 feet would be kinda silly.
