Is 6'4 240lbs a good build for a Heavyweight UFC fighter?

[Bonesbonesbonesbone]

Most of the goats of the UFC Heavyweight have been in the 240lb-260lb range, although i would say 240lbs is more ideal than 260lbs because of these reasons:

1. Your more agile, quicker, better speed and higher acceleration

2. Better endurance

3. Lower Heart rate because of lower body mass

4. Better coordination and equilbilirium

and 5. your not all invested into being a one punch machine, instead you spread your eggs into all baskets equally and dont end up being a francis ngannou rip off version.

Not really unless your Aspinall and have that freaky speed gene

So what is ideal weight as a Heavyweight then ? (Stipie, Ngannou, and Ubereem were all 250-260lbs, probs because there is point of diminshing returns.)

Yea. 6’4 240 lean.

is a 10lb weight difference between 250lbs, and 260lb significant in a HW fight ?

cut down to 205 and be king of LHW theory

the taller the better

all the tall fags are dominating the divisions

sean o malley
jon jones
adesanya/perreira

u either need to be a tall good striker or average height wrestler

Not really but what matters most is body composition. There’s fat fucks at 265 who have embarressing power relative to their weight and then there’s 265 ngannou who evaporated anything he touched. 6’4 240 lean as fuck is plenty big to have crazy power. That’s slightly smaller than AJ and AJ killed 265 ngannou but that’s a different story

Bro, i literally tried to pm you but it didnt let me, anyways is a 10lb weight difference significant in a HW match ? also like i said Light Heavyweights in the ring are around 220-225lbs right ?

yeah but weight is more important than height, a 20lb weight difference can mean the difference between life and death.

Also, Heavyweights don’t cut weight but they still lose weight come fight time. 240 walk around weight means 230 weigh in give or take. That’s kinda small for 6’4 now that I think about it

depends on the matchup

i think gane came in at like 250 vs derrick lewis who is also over 265 in the ring after rehydrating

feels like that is normal

average brah on the street is like 180 to 190 with 30-40% bodyfat

if u think about it that way

a brah that makes 145 155 170 185 has to be lean as fuck

damn, so are u saying most heavyweight fighters are just fat bloatlords ?

and does that mean if i dont want to sacrifice facial lean gains, i have to remain at the Lightweight ufc division ?!

also if the average brah is 190lbs 30-40% body fat, that means 250lbs is only for the elite genetic freaks.

i was talking about bam bam



just have knockout power at heavyweight

lower range 240 to 250 is legit for speed but its still pretty much comes down to knockout power






this lewis vs polvoc fight is good example of knockout power

lewis was losing most of the match until he got that one shot in

dont get a derrick lewis body lol

dude cant take body shots

i think what he has to do it bulk to 350 then lean back down to look like black brock lesnar

 

[traveler]

ideal heavyweight body is probably ngannou or lesnar in their prime


or lean down to 205 and be like jon jones bonely but long

first of all, that is not possible without steroids, second of all a 6'4 male peak natural weight if he natty lifts for 10 years, is probs only going to reach 240lbs at 15% body fat.

I'll take the alternative and be 205lbs like jones, easier to maintain that weight as a natural lifter. your default 200lbs anyways non-gymcelled when ur 6'4 anyways.

which is better to drop down to 205

most fighter at 205 probably walk around 220 to 230 in ring
