'Your body needs a certain amount of fat to operate properly, Then you have the greatermass increasing power generation, and then performance wise the people who are bigger didn't spend the last few weeks crash dieting and dehydrating themselves.
The guys that cut weight and get super lean for fights are doing that basically to cheat not because it's a good idea performance wise, the belief being the loss in performance will be outweighed by the baseline physical advantage of fighting someone who is much smaller than you
But since everybody does it it sort of becomes mandatory

If weight classes were instead based on height you'd never see lean fighters anymore
Bigger is better';

Bigger is better

Those are just guys fighting at their normal comfortable weight though, look at conrad mcgrundle at 145, looks like a skeleton
And it's no wonder kebab beat his tits off at 155 Because he struggles to get down to even that weight

If weight classes were not a thing both of those guys would be fighting closer to 185';

>Why are some fighters so fat?
Because they're too lazy and undisciplined to not be fat anymore.

They usually don't (outside of sumo)';
