155lbs is featherweight?

135lbs is also called featherweight?

One doesn’t allow weight cutting. Their fighters have to be hydrated at a certain level to be qualified to fight. Hence they bump up the weight classes ten pounds.

I thought one championship was against weIght cutting and do hydration testing and what not. Shouldnt he be fighting at 170/185 without weight cutting?

Or are they planning to have him fight guys 20lbs lighter than him and have him the only one allowed to cut weight?

Ahh I missed that. Yeah he fucked up. Their weight classes are the same as ours, just with the additional 10 pounds.

You can cut weight, you just can’t be fully depleted and dehydrated like these guys in the ufc. So you can indeed cut weight, just not to an extent where you’re compromised.

ONE's 155lbs is a featherweight class, weight cutting is not allowed.

Can we trade this thread to Worldwide?

 

[rob mafia]

this makes zero sense as eddie obviously isn't making the pseudo 145 class, even by one fc's sketchy ass "standards."

 

[Buffmeister]

Fucking sweet!

Nguyen x Alvarez is a fuckin slugger

 

[SiEdmondson]

makes no sense, if he was able to get to 155 and not be dehydrated, why wasn't he at 145 in the ufc dehydrated

 

[NoSmilez]

You probably can cut but it most likely has to be less than 10%

I wonder which UFC fighter will jump in the One Championship border next?

Probably N'gannou and Overeem, if they both of them lose on their next fights (which I think they will).
