This right hereWhere I live a 160lb man isn’t normal size, but I live in Texas and work on drilling rigs.
200lbs is “average to medium size” at best

The KO/TKO rate at Flw is on par with BW and only slightly behind FW. And if KO's are the only thing that excites you about MMA, why watch MMA? Just watch boxing or kickboxing. We had two great finishes in Flw last night.
Seriously. One of my best friends is a marine. He's about 5'5ish and 140lbs. Strong motherfucker too. Qualified to be a firefighter. Where did all this short people hate come from? There's a fuck ton of short people in the world. shit is normal.Even 125 at 5'4" is a normal BMI
Borg is 5'4. MM is 5'3. It's really not that weird.It's not even the weight, it's the height. Believe me, I'm not one of these guys who hate on 'manlets' or anything. I like the 135lb weight class. But 125lbs is dull as fuck.
The thing is, Ray Borg is 5'2, and you need to remember the UFC often over inflates their fighters heights. The dude could be like 5'1 or 5'0...my Mother is 5'2. Their are plenty of 14 year old girls who are taller than my Mother...and thus taller than Ray Borg or Mighty Mouse. When teenage girls are taller than you...ouch. When my Mother (who considers herself to be quite short is as tall or even taller than you as a grown man...ouch)
There are short men at like 5'4-5'7. Then there are those 5'0-5'2 dudes. They're tiny little things.
El finito was a sharp accurate vicious puncher, so technical, anyone interested in fixing up their striking should check him outRicardo Lopez was a pleasure to watch.
His bout with Rosendo Alvarez was a barn burner.
There is NOTHING MM has shown me to believe I couldn't hold my own against him in a fight. I'm 6ft, 190lbs.
Yeah, lets ask a body builder from the 70s what he thinks. I can't think of a more informed or cultured person.
I am not tall and i still agree with that.I agree with that because I am tall.

A case for why the 125 division makes no sense.
1. Healthy. muscular grown men cannot naturally weigh 125lbs unless they are under 5 feet.
2. Fighters making that weight are draining their body and affecting their health.
3. Nobody wants to watch little guys with no power bounce around.
4. The general population who are that size don't take up athletics. At best they become jockeys.
It's just not marketable.

It can be. Just look at boxing. Prince Naz, Pacman. Barrera, Morales, Marquez all fought at a similar weight. Naz was box office in the U.K. You have to think there will be a 125er in the next couple of years who will come along with crazy power,the ability to do spinning shit and with a bit of charisma and the division might really take off.
You are delusionalThere is NOTHING MM has shown me to believe I couldn't hold my own against him in a fight. I'm 6ft, 190lbs.
is it just me or does everyone else assume that the manlet haters are mostly short men?
