Fighting Weight?

Out_of_Bubblegum

If you compete, what is your preferred fighting weight?
If you state the weight class, please include lb or KG range, as weight classes are defined differently for different sporting organizations.

If you don't compete, what is your weight goal, or what weight do you feel most comfortable training at?

My last competition I fought at 140 lb - that was a very, very long time ago.

I'm competing again in 10 days, and I'm currently sitting at 169. I had originally set a goal to cut to 165 by this competition, but I don't think that's in my best interests to attempt 4 lb in 10 days.

My goal weight: 150-155 lb, which puts me at the lighter end of Welterweight (150lb -176 lb)

In BJJ I compete at Lightweight (64kg Gi, 61.5kg NoGi), but I'm tempted to go down to Feather (58.5kg Gi, 56.5kg NoGi).
I haven't fought in Muay Thai yet, so I'll see when the time comes.

I have been aiming to get below 61kg for two in-house board-breaking competitions for year now. They're nearly here and I'm not there yet. May not manage it for the first one.

My fight weight used to be 48 to 50 kg. My first competition was 43 but that was when I was 15 or so. I am not very high though just 1,60 cm especially for tkd it used to be challenging as with 52 kg my opponent would be over 1.70cm. My current weight is 51 to 53.

My weight loss incentive is a fight. My first is Nov where I want to be 60kg, my second (pending training) is December where I want to be 57kg. For my height (163cm) the top competitors fight at around 52kg, I don't have the time to get there as when I made the decision I was 77kg, but should be fine for first timer fights.
