you summed it up in 2 sentences. seems like he wants to fight in a weight category he is just too muscular for instead of take his god given genetics that he obviously has and work ethic to fight in maybe 1 category less by losing a few pounds.

So my question is crossfit training bad and and how Do I get catabolic and I guess that's the only way damn that sucks will I be able to see muscle tone?

Damn Cuz ... I'm am getting nervous on your behlaf. I have been averaging around 205 for some time now and I dropped down to 165 in order to compete in a class where I felt comfortable due my speed and agility ... and I actually REACHED my goal weight 14wk before weigh in ... it gave me 3 months to become accustomed to that weight and I STILL didn't feel like I had the energy and stamina I required to compete properly. Now I'm hanging around my usual 205 again, but busy upping it to 230 ... and I didn't even have as much muscle density on my frame as you do now. There are ways to get to your weight, but I do not like the prospects awaiting you once you get there. You will also, like me, be VERY prone to injury and illness while at that weight class.

Like I said, it CAN be done ... but it's-a-gonna be nasty son!

bro just remember what happened to roy jones jr... once he went up in weight and tried to drop dramatically he was just never the same... it was right after he did that when his career started to go down... he never had the proper energy again... and he started off much smaller... its so fucking hard to drop weight dramatically like your trying to do and then perform at a high level... i mean 5 or 10 lbs, okay, but when your getting in the 20's and 30's its just going to be tough bro...

again i would just focus on getting very lean and being very athletic and strong.

crossfit is great for mma you just need to balance it out. if you go nuts w/ crossfit you will be drained for the other aspects of your training. crossfit also takes a lot of calories to recover from and may make it difficult to drop weight. sounds backwards but ive seen it happen a lot.

you just need to put a total plan together that balances all your mma training, strength training, diet and strength.
1-2 days a week of crossfit will definitely help but 2-4x per week might be too much. all depends on what 'crossfit' workouts you are doing, what you are eating, how much you are resting, etc etc

also it is very common for athletes to put on a good amount of muscle in their late 20's
