I have corrected you on this 3 times now. Scout mistranslated that video and has been corrected. Khabib's father says 187 lbs. Stop posting misinformation. And the second interview (I'm almost positive) is old, not from his last 2 fights.
You're proving my point. Khabib has made under 155 with no issue in his last fight. Going by old information is illogical. Without a nutritionist he made 154.5 with no issues in the slightest. Clearly he is not having any issues currently.
I didn't see you correct me before, my bad. Anyways, going by old information isn't illogical. Did you think Rumble was fine after he made WW once? No, you look at the career in order to find tendencies— you don't chose selective data from 2 fights and ignore the rest. Khabib has struggled for the majority of his career to make LW. You absolutely cannot deny this, and choosing to ignore a career of fights solely to focus on two recent fights isn't logical in my opinion.
Assuming that GSP (who is just under 190 btw) will make 155 for the first time in his life while suffering no negative repercussions is anything but logical.
Khabib's last 2 cuts were damn near seamless.
GSP needs to lose more weight than he has ever had to before, all in water weight. Having never performed at 155 before he will absolutely suffer from this cut, as would any career WW.
I don't doubt that you've heard GSP is just under 190 now because weight fluctuates a few pounds, but I've heard him say he's below 185lbs a few months ago on Ariels podcast. Either way, he's around Khabib's weight. And again, If you think GSP won't make a practice cut before deciding to cut to LW, then you're underestimating the kind of professional GSP is. IF you think he can't have a nutritionist take care of his micronutrients in order to ensure a seamless weight cut, then you don't understand what kind of professional he is.
If you say absolutes like, "He will absolutely suffer from this cut" about a hypothetical uncertain situation, then you're limiting yourself. There are plenty of healthy ways to lose weight without repercussions. Plenty.
