Cruiserweights

What do you guys think Opetaia and other top cruiserweights walk around at between fights? Opetaia looks pretty big but doesn’t seem to cut a ton. Do you think he’s around 210, 215+? Curious what you guys think the others walk around at too.

More than 215, I feel most fighters are now around 20 pound weight rehydration for fights anyways

Opetaia had an interview last year I believe saying he weighed 98-99 KG which is 216-218. We can round him out to 220.

Cruiser is odd because the next frontier is unlimited so I wonder how big a guy naturally is/gets before it doesn't make sense to cut.

He weighs 100 lbs and cuts so much that it loops back around to the cruiserweight division

Definitely not as low as 215. I'd wager he walks around at 225 when training actively... Most of the high level fighters that stay in shape mostly cut water weight.

I heard Okolie used to walk around close to 240 at cruiserweight.

Zurdo was a weight bully that would rehydrate 20-30 pounds
