Kayla has been changing gyms more than once since she started transitioning, that's a little concerning. Besides the way she talks about it might not truly understand what she is getting into coming to mma. In addition because of Ronda the moment the fight is announced her opponent is gonna train armbar defense 24/7 until the day of the fight. So I hope she has more weapons than just the armbar.

She mentioned in the article below that she moved to ATT because they have more women for her to train with

On her wikiepdia page, she is listed at 165 Lbs (although her judo weightclass has a ceiling of 172 lbs).

Either way, 145 is a big weight cut.

Any judo partcipants out there can give us any information on how weigh-ins work in the sport? If she has to weigh in the day of an event, compared to the day-before weighins for MMA, it could certainly make a different in what weighclass she will compete at.

She's not that big. Megan Anderson cuts from 180-190 lbs to make 145. I have no doubt Kayla can make 145 and in a healthy way. It's not that big of a cut. Watch her interview at MMAhour, she talks about it.
