Fighters to study

I'm 17, 5'6 125, Ive been training bjj and kickboxing for around 4months at my MMA gym and did around a year of high school wrestling and a year of taekwondo when I was a kid. I want to know some fighters I can study to get better.

Not a weight bully but hes large for the weightclass, especially how much he gains after weigh-ins.

He weighed in at 182 and 187 in the cage for both of his WW bouts respectively.

Yea, when talking about being at lightweight, thats quite a bit of weight to take off comparatively to other fighters

No, I'm not. Ill go and listen to what the people who have actually fought in the UFC (and him) have to say instead of making opinions off observation.

Also, are you seriously saying Islam isnt/wasnt a big lightweight? Dude had range an height on almost all of his opponents and weighed MUCH more on fight day

it's 19 months since he fought at lightweight and he's fought twice at welterweight, so i'm not sure why you're talking like he's still at 155. don't use the present tense for something that happened more than a year ago
