What fighters would benefit most from a change in weight class?

Mirko should go down to LHW if a Cruiserweight division is not incorporated.

 

Mirko just cannot compete with the giant monsters in the UFC. He was able to do it in Pride

 

because the giant monsters were smaller. Hopefully, a Cruiserweight division of 210 lbs is

 

incorporated because this would be ideal for Cro Cop, Barry, Roy Nelson, Mark Hunt, Carwin,

 

and other small HW's.

I meant Super Cruiser Weight ( 220 lbs) division should be incorporated for HWs that don't

 

fare that well at HW due to gas tank problems( Carwin ), due to being outmuscled by other

 

HW's (Cro Cop ), etc.

 

Maybe slimming down for Carwin 20 to 25 lbs more could help his gas tank because he

 

got b.... slapped and pounded on for 3 rounds. Mirko could fight fairly against fighters who

 

won't bully him around with their weight, etc.

its like his muscles are filled with air' date=' he weighs nothing[/quote']

 

Kongo use to commonly weigh in at 240-242 but has weighed in as light as 228 against Browne I believe. It's all lean mass and he would go through hell trying to make 205 considering he's 36 with no history of cutting weight. I've thought for some time now that Kongo despite being a HW cuts just a little water before the weigh ins to be deceptive about his actual weight. Plus he looks even more cut up at the weigh ins then in the fight (like everyone who cuts weight)

 

He looks bigger than Andrei Arlovski who is typically 240-245. I wouldn't be surprised if Kongo walked around at 250+

So you think him weighing in at 234 is to trick his opponents?

He looks so much larger... maybe he's not but he certainly doesn't look any smaller now then he did years ago when he was tipping the scales at 242. I don't think he's cutting anything significant because that would be retarded for a HW under 265 but he may just be in better shape at 230-235 while walking around heavier outside of a training camp.

 

There's light heavies that he dwarfs that walk around at 240+

They should just let Kongo fight at LHW because he is cool haha
