Question....size up or go down

This year im starting to compeat in some kickboxing matches and mabye a MMA match. I love mma and im working my way inside...but i have some size concerns right now i weigth 215 lbs and i have farily thick bone structure....i got some mustle but not that much...so i was wondering is i should try and gain some more size and mabye jump to 230? or should i cut down to 200? Im training seriously these days....and i just thought id ask you cats....

im not a fighter but i would say if you walk around at 215, fighting at 205 probably isnt a bad idea.

btw nice sig.

205 is the standard for LHW in MMA and most grappling events. not sure about weight systems in MT. but dude, if youre 215.. drop weight to 205. itll be easy, just train harder and eat cleaner. youll regret it if you fight some 240lb all muscle guy... trust me.

205 is much better cuz you may get a size advantage
