I'd say it's between Featherweight and Bantamweight. I'm leaning more towards Bantamweight because there are some big ass Featherweight like Zabit.

The average (non-obsese) guy walking down the street would most likely be a Bantamweight

Maybe in Japan :teruto:

The average bantamweight is about 5’5. If you’re 5’5 and 135 lbs you’re tiny, that’s not a normal size that you would see in the general population.

there are also guys like Domonick Cruz who probably represents the "average guy" height/weight more than anyone.

don't be fooled by midgets like TJ Dillashaw. there are some big bantamweights

I would say the lightweight and welterweight classes represents the average in-shape man.

Basically, guys that are 5'10 and between 150 lbs and 170 lbs.

what's average though? 175lb?

then i have to say 155lb is the average. cuz they walk around at 175-185lb. weight cutting is crazy in mma.

those 170lbers are 200lb dude in real life.

MW or light heavyweight the average American male is self reported 191 pounds

You also have to understand that most guys in the MMA don't really weigh what there weight class is, they weight cut to the weight class they want to fight in.
