5 foot 9.5 at LHW, too short?
Hi everyone, on the 17 of May I have my first professional MMA fight. I have a wrestling background and cut from 230 to make the 205 LW division. I won Jeff Joslins Canadian submission grappling tourney last year in the intermediate division, and in both wrestling and sub grappling I was usually the shorter of the two but it didnt seem to matter. Im just concerned that now with strikes I could be at a sever disadvantage because of my pathetic reach. In wrestling and sub grappling I always liked fighting taller opponents, as I found them easier to take down, and found it easier to submit lanky limbs than short compact ones.
What do you guys think? Are there any decent fighters at LHW or even HW that are around 5-9 5-10??
thanks for the replies.
I am fairly muscular but deffinatly not muscle bound, as I can do the splits.
Yah Monson and Igor are good inspirations
