Cain`s real weight and the average weight for a heavyweight ufc mma fighter

[bestial]

Just wondering what the average weight is, i always thought 240 was about your average heavyweight fighter. But people call Cain a small heavyweight, yea he is on the short side of heavyweight but small? He does look small for a heavyweight, to me he doesn't look nearly 240, whenever i think of a 240 pounder i think of a huge dude, Cain looks about 215 to me, i havn't seen him in person but just looking at his pics and comparing him to 190 lb guys, he doesn't look much bigger than them. Certainly not 50 pounds heavier.
Why do you think he looks small for a guy who is 240? is it because he is kinda chubby? and muscle looks bigger than fat? or?? do you even think he is 240.

THank you for help!

Here is a pic for example of a 240 guy at about the same height as cain, he looks much bigger and hes not a pound over 240.
His name is mike katz (ex bodybuilder) the guy in the middle

Are you new to the world of bodybuilding by any chance?

You can't compare the two together.

Muscle weighs more then fat. He walks around close to his weigh in weight. A lot of heavyweights walk around way over meaning they have to cut like crazy right before the fight. Which give Cain a huge advantage.

I`m 240 now and I feel small lol.

I met Forrest griffin and the dudes a monster. Looks way smaller on tv. I can't even imagine what someon like Cain or overream is like

Yes he is, BUT he's a BIG lhw. He cut a lot of weight for that class.

Most fighters cut 18+ lbs to make weight for a fight so its hard to compare.

The big heavyweight come in at 255. That's the most UFC will let them weigh in at. Guys like Brock even Mir is weighing in at 255. Some of the other guys cut a to. Of weight though. Anderson silva walks around at 230 and cuts to 185

I've meet Shane Carwin he walks around at 285ish. He was huge his hands looked like cinder blocks next to mine.

[Super-Chump]

I think you mean 265

[DB1982]

I think you mean 265

No I ment 280ish. Shane Carwin cuts to 265lbs during a training camp but off season walks around in the 280's
I met him in the off season.
He's a big dude.

Calm down buddy I was talking to jim230027

The thing is - weight isn't everything in the heavier divisions. Weight could give you an advantage if you were to fight in some weight like the welterweight, but everybody is already strong in the heavyweight, it isn't a big factor like in the lighter weights.

Check the great heavyweight boxers like Tyson and Marciano. No big guys, yet the blew the opposition like it was nothing. Same applies for other fighting sports. Cain has a great talent: he knows how to fight. I think that is more important than weighing 20 pounds more or less than your opponent in the heavyweight.

Cain is #1 p4p in the sport

There was scuttlebutt that Mark Hunt weighed in for the Roy Nelson training camp at 340. I'm thinking he really must like some poi.
