Guest Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Would my fighter (when he's able to cut weight enough when his conditioning gets higher) be too tall for the welterweight division? http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=191258 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
