Everyone tells me I should be 155, but most of the guys seem to be 5'9". I'm 5'11" and perform a lot of weight training, which helps my grappling. Right now, eating healthy, balanced meals (50%cho, 20%pro, 30%fat), but eating as much as I want to satisfy me....I weigh 175-180. If I cut my calories to BARELY satisfy me for a few weeks, I can get to 172 in the morning. 169 or 170 should be very doable, though But to get to 155? I think it will be impossible.

Doesn't josh koscheck fight at 170? he's 5'10" and weight-trains, too, right?
