What kind of fighter are you going to create in UFC 2009?

You should just make yourself a LHW. You're too small for HW.

I'm 6'2, 180...I'm thinking of making a BJJ guy (not sure on the striking yet), pondering welterweight or middleweight, don't think I want to bulk up to LHW. I'd rather be more like Kendall Grove than adding 40ish lbs.

Haha. I wish I could hit 205lbs. In real life, if I weighed 205, I'd look like a toothpick. I have a ridiculously large bone structure. I was born a very big guy. I'm 245ish in real life atm, getting back down to 225ish. At 225-230, I'm in really good shape, not fat at all. Most people at 6'3" that weigh 230 look heavy as hell; I look trim.

Real life base character - I boxed in my youth so most likely Boxer/ kick boxer type striker. I weight 175 so Middle Weight or step down to Welter at 170.

Made up guy - Most likely going to make Clay "The Carpenter" Guida. Wrestler with extreme endurance and great transition defense, killer ground and pound. But weak to submissions (5 of his 9 losses came from submissions).

and your grappling?

As of now, my thoughts are to make myself (I mean, obviously) and try to be "realistic" with that; and then I will also have to create the ultimate badass - like an MMA version of the young Mike Tyson.

You said you're going to make your created guy a kickboxer or boxer... I'm pretty sure you need to pick a grappling discipline to go along with that. Or you just want to make your guy a 1 dimensional fighter.
