serious question. has there ever been somebody like dc but on a smaller scale. so like 4ft 8 but obese

The average height at HW is only 6'1, so DC is only 3-4 inches shorter than the average, or 4.16% shorter. The average LW is 5'9, and 4.16% shorter than 5'9 is only 5'6 and a half.

The answer is Michel Prazeres, who is 5'6 and just fought at WW, but usually fights at LW.

He's not obese at 5'6, though. Basically TS wants to know if Matt serra still fights at LW or WW.

Hermes Franca. Not really obese but there were a few fights where he definitely wasn’t in the best shape. Can’t think of many others if any. At least in the ufc anyways.

The homie Joe Riggs used to tip the scales near 300 before making his way down to 170.

Matt Serra looks kind of like he ate his own clone these days.

Though him being a lightweight is kind of ancient history at this point lol.
 
alexis dufresne.On a serious level,in low level orgs and ammy's I have seen a lot especially years ago.As far as UFC or TUF goes Andy Wang was a little puffball.
