Bizarre narrative that Ngannou cuts to make 265

[cade187]

I'd believe that he probably weighs over 265 before his camp, but he probably makes weight just by getting in fight shape.

Bro that’s because he lived in Camaroon where he was starving (not srs).

Dat western French high protein diet made him an absolute beast

There are rare exceptions, such as Gustafsson weighing in one fight at 203. There is no way he doesn't cut weight.

But suggesting that Ngannou, who weighed 253 vs Arlovski now cuts weight one fight later while weighing 262 is absurd.

Yeah scales are only accurate to within a pound (hence the grace pound) and people can accidentally take of an extra pound or so. But if a guy is coming in regularly at 252 or 202 or really anything more than a pound consistently he's not cutting

Rogan has been doing this for years. I love it when he reflects back on the narratives that he invented and claims "people use to say", when it was actually only him saying it lol.

He was 257 for Arlovski. He was 262 for Overeem. That's 5 lbs in 10 month very doable lol dumb to acting like it's 40 lb He obviously cuts some weight and wanted to put on more muscle for overeem fight

"cut weight" as in comes into camp over 265?

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

Ngannou may have been told that extra weight on the weigh in made for a good narrative. If he always came in lean to weigh in before and he drank a bunch of water to inflate his weight, plus gained a normal weight in muscles in between camps, that gain is very possible. You find it bizarre that the UFC is looking for angles to create hype for the next HW contender?

Would've been a shame if he suffered hyponatremia

Both Florian and Rogan pushed this recently, with Rogan even arguing against Stipe about it.

Ngannou has weighed in at the LOW 250s every single fight (around 252) then came in unusually heavy in one fight against Overeem (262). Rogan inflated his weigh in weight up to 264 in order to lie in his argument against Stipe, who noted that he has seen Ngannou weigh in around 250.

If Ngannou did indeed cut from 269 or whatever, it's weird that he gained nearly 20 lbs over the course of one fight.

Rogan never lies or exaggerates bro. Not sure where you heard this from.

If he put on 5 pounds and weighs 262 he still doesn't cut weight...

The fuck are you talking about?

It's part of the hype of his size. Stipe is going to rock him with his pants and hands down.

I bet Stipe lateral raises and shoulder presses more than Overeem.

Stipe has an impressive skull; not as good as TJ Dillashaw's skull though.

If he weighs more then 262 (which Anik said 269) it's not impossible for him to cut 3 extra lbs r u retarded
