Determining the best weight class for you as a fighter is a complex decision that depends on a variety of factors, including your height, weight, body composition, skill level, and fighting style. It's important to work with a coach or trainer who can help you make an informed decision based on your individual strengths and goals.

That being said, based on your height and weight, it's possible that welterweight (170 lbs) could be a good weight class for you. However, it's important to keep in mind that cutting weight can be dangerous and should be done under the guidance of a professional. It's also important to focus on building strength, endurance, and skill rather than just cutting weight to fit into a certain weight class.

Ultimately, the most important factor in becoming a great fighter is not your height or weight, but your dedication, discipline, and hard work. Keep training hard, focus on your strengths, and don't let your height hold you back from achieving your dreams.
