    That sounds very low for your height! It depends on whether you are healthy and still strong at that weight.

    what weight do you walk around at?

    if you had to cut quite a bit to get to 66, I wouldnt reccomend the drop to 61

    5kg is 11lbs, thats quite a drop, it doesnt seem safe to me for someone your size

    Changes from person to person, I know many fighters who are 5'10/5'11 who fight at 61kg.

    I'm 6 foot and if I take no notice of my weight and live normally I weigh 63kg, so I believe I could fight at 57kg and have no problems.

    So yes, fighting at 61kg being 6 foot is fine for certain people, only you know if it's okay for yourself.
