that depends on what you normally are. Back in HS when i wrestled and did state tournaments in Judo I was virtually always at my fighting weight. last fall, after not really training for a few months i weighed about 210, i entered a tournament where i grappled at 200 and i felt very out of place since most of the guys were bigger than me and in a lot better shape. so, i went back down to first 180 and then 170 ( where I am now even though I still think I should go down more).
Now if a fighter is normally 194 then he should be fighting at 185, not at 170. cutting weight is not only disadvantageous during the fight but for the rest of your life if you do this constantly, for every fight and you're doing for more than 10-15 pounds.
