Should i cut weight or stay the same weight for mma?

Question

im 5:9

213 pounds

decided if i should cut or stay the same weight

suggestions

Answer 1

well that really tells me nothing.... I know guys that are 5'9 and fight at 145lbs.  It all depends on your build.  If you dont have much body fat (8-12%), and you look like a solid 213, then you should be fine.  But if ur a bit flabby, then its obvious you need to cut weight.

Answer 2

CUT.  Unless you are a really lean 213 you will be a small heavyweight and probably a lot shorter than your opponents.  You'd probably be a small LHW too.  Shoot for middle at your height.

Answer 3

how old are you? if your young and your 213 then they might put you up against older and more exsperienced fighters, i think you should cut weight.

Answer 4

Are you serious?  You should drop down to at least 185.  You would get mauled as a heavyweight, and even most light heavyweights are bigger than you.

Answer 5

cut unless ur lean now if ur gonna fight @ 5:9 u need 2 be sumwhere frm 175-189 @ da most (opinion)
