Would my fighter be too tall for welterweight?

Would he have a power advantage over a natural welterweight because his natural weight is middleweight?

 

He's fine, real life fighters like Ben Saunders and Mike Swick are about that height and fight at 170. He will have a striking advantage due to having a longer reach than most other 170 pounders, the disadvantage is that he'll be slightly easier to take down and submit due to the long limbs. Make sure he has good defensive grappling!

yeah make sure you follow that also having low flexibility can be a disadvantage against submissions so make sure you get it up to as it contributes to defending submissions, and balance is key to being taken down as well as take down defence
