XxxtremeT13 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 So.....I feel like I should know this, but I seem to be thinking one thing and starting to feel that its actually another... So, when I send a contract offer to fighters for a division lets say 170... 1 guy weighs 165 and another 185...the 185 can cut to 170. I offer them a fight and the accept.. come fight time is the 165 guy fighting this fighter at 170 or will he be at his actual weight of 185 at fight time? Now, based on the thought that it would be 165 vs 185...How much of a determining factor is that 20lbs difference...I mean does the 185 guy have a much better advantage or is it slight?

pjrfin Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's actually the lighter guy who has an advantage, because lighter fighters use less energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxxtremeT13 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's actually the lighter guy who has an advantage, because lighter fighters use less energy. I was thinking the lighter guy would have the energy advantage but that would also only come more into play say in the final round of a fight (especially a 5 rounder)...But, the heavy fighter would have more of an advantage in the power side of things, wouldn't he? Or, harder for the light guy to take him to the ground?? yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjrfin Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes, being heavier does have some advantages. But being lighter is a bigger advantage, if one knows how to use it. It's not a "be all, end all" situation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I assume that fighters fight at their actual weight, not "can cut to," because the actual weight is what is listed on the tale of the tape. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct? Yes, can cut to is just a condition that should be met in order the fight to begin and not be scored as NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
