I have a clinically measured 147 iq so I'm an authority on this.>you have two metrics, your weight and your "reach index">your reach index is simply an average of three numbers: your height, your wingspan, and your leg reach times 2.17>set reasonable indices for each division let's say for 155 it's 5'9">the weight that you have to make is the division weight, times the ratio of your reach index to the division reach index..So, for instance, let's say a 155 fighter has height of 69in, reach of 74in, normal leg reach(69in). So their reach index is 70.66.Then, the weight that they have to make is 155 * (69 / 70.66)Which is 151.34So if someone with those dimensions fought someone with "average" reach index(69in height, 69in wingspan, 31.7in leg reach), that guy would weigh 155 and have a 4lb weight advantageThis is very reasonable
>>77397811I have a 106 IQ and can tell you this will never happen because it's too autistic and nobody cares that much.
>>77397811Touch grass quickly dude
>>77397819who said anything about whether it would happen or not nigga
>>77397811>Proof that high IQ ≠ practical intelligenceThis is retardedly complicated. Kudo already figured this shit out. Seeking some perfect fairness is going to severely limit available pairings, which is why no mainstream promoter/venue is ever going to do it, but if they did, height in CM + weight in KG. That's it. Doesn't need to get more complicated than that.
>>77397826that benefits the faggots who are like 5'8" with a 6'2" reach
>>77397834Which are an extreme outlier. Like I said, the more you pursue some perfect fairness, the more possible matches you exclude. Having to deal with some reach disparity is good for the game. Otherwise we wouldn't have tactics at all in striking.
>>77397826arm length is more important than height retard
>>77397840But height is an easier way to estimate arm & leg reach. Again, too much specificity is a bad thing. Also, quit acting like a little bitch. The only league bothering with this kind of division does it like I said. No one is ever going to do your dumb overly complex bullshit.
>>77397811If you get into a fight IRL, are there weight classes? Can you say to a guy "ummm you're clearly a heavyweight, the fight is invalid"?
Reach isn’t even a fraction of the advantage size is.
>fighters get weighed every time they get piss tested>your weight must be within 10-15% of your fighting weight>dehydration limited>50% of maximum fight purse fine if a fighter misses weightThere, no gay ass weight cutting from 200lbs down to 155, everyone fights in their natural weight class
There literally cannot be a "fair" fight in the way you think of it.Even if you made identical twins fight, they would have differences.This shit is just straight up stupid and pathetic to boot.
>>77397811They should do this, weight same day to avoid cutting but also have an open-weight division where everything goes and where the real deal is
>>77397811Prates would kill prime Tyson in a street fight btw. The faggot who made the middleweight thread is a retard.
>>77397811One, this isn't fitness, this is sports. Two, Khabib, Porier and Mayweather all beat McGregor, who has insane reach.Hamzat and Islam all beat dudes with longer reach too, as did Volkov and Topuria, manlets, even in their divisions. 7ft Stefan Struve, who beat Stipe, lost to 5'10 mark Hunt. Mike Tysin demolished many taller fighters who were also heavier. You posted this the other day, it's nonsensical.
>>77397811My IQ is 148 and I say we go back to death matches. Fight until only one guy is left alive. That will force contenders to go back to realistic fighting styles and not this baby toddler punching and gay joint locking. If I wanted to watch fake choreographic movie stunts I'd just watch professional wrestling.
>>77397811I like to think that taller weight bullies and guys with long wingspans make the fights more interesting because there are more variables to take into consideration. Also it’s not the biggest deal because you’ll still have short muscularly dense fighters competing competitively with guys who have these advantages.
>>77398570This is why I like sumoYou get all kinds of crazy matchups
>>77398490thats also me nigga i make like 10% of threads on ts board
>>77398567I knew what the misdirection was going to be and I still looked
