khabib missing weight would just be the cherry on top of this big shit sundae.
it was 205 and Rumble was 204.3maybe it´s in the contract
in the vitor vs rumble fight for example, they agreed for rumble not to enter the cage at 200+ lbs since rumble did not make weight
also, max has natural low bodyfat and is always fit. he´ll make 155 without suffering that much
I doubt he is walking around much more than 170. He’s always in pretty good shape. 15 lbs of water weight in a week isn’t fun, but it’s completely doable.Max makes 145 after months of dieting down and then cutting water weight at the end. He hasn't been training and hasn't been in a camp, a cut to 155 is going to be tough for him.
if Max doesn't make 155 he doesn't win the title
Even though fight is for 155 title:
Both must make < 161.0 for fight to occur
As long as fight takes place, the title is not dependant on both makign 155 weight. Whoever does, is eligible to win the title, who ever doesnt make 155 is not eligible.
So dont sweat to much on max's weight, max probably isnt either.
I think for max, a better chance at winning the fight only (but not belt) by avoiding a draining weight cut is better for him than draining himself to become eligible but then being more likely to lose
source: Khabib himself, on mma hour
Don't think he cares tbh. If he wins no one is going to care that he didn't make weight on 6 days notice, he'll have beaten fucking Khabib on 6 days notice. And if he wins Khabib won't be champ, Conor will. So he can get that red panty night and a chance to become two weight champ in his next fight
Yes i have always struggled with being concise. you stated it excellently.Your whole post could of been summed up with the following:
The fight will be on provided both parties come in under 161. Whoever makes 155 is eligible for the title.
Max shouldn't cut weight, but instead try to have an advantage by purposefully missing weight.
You wrote it in the most confusing way possible....
In response to this:
That is stupid. Max is the lighter fighter and should be able to make 155 pretty easily. He would be stupid to take the fight and miss weight on purpose.
Khabib struggles to make 155 and usually weighs in just over. This fight he will have to make it on the dot.
Max should avoid the takedowns and try and bust up Khabib over 5 rounds. Max should have less of a weightcut and hopefully preparing for Edgar last month has him covered for the wrestling.
It all comes down to Max avoiding the clinch and ground and hopefully forcing Khabib into a desperate striking situation. That way Max can overwhelm him with volume and score a TKO or decision.
I think Khabib has this due to the size advantage though.
He said for the fight to take place if Max comes in heavy. Any fighter, trainer, etc.. knows that is the weight allowance for most Athletic Commisions to approve a fight to still take place if one fighter doesn't make contracted weight. For LW, 161 is the limit for the fight to take place if Max comes in over.. title would be off for Max, but Khabib can still win the title if he makes 155 and the fight happens.Lightweight ends at 155. Don't know where he gets off thinking Max has to only make 161 pounds.
182-184lbs out of camp..Does anyone know what Holloway walks around at?. He looks quite slim to me, doesn't really have any body fat and doesn't have much muscle either, he is very lean. I don't think he is too heavy. I'd be surprised if he was over 165 Ibs
Fili is bigger then Stephens, as is Max and others.. Ortega, Moicano, etc etc.How big is Max? I thought Stephens was the biggest featherweight.
khabib missing weight would just be the cherry on top of this big shit sundae.
Watch both he and Khabib miss weight.
Would be like a cherry on top of the giant shit sundae that has become of the LW title situation.

wtf?You get an F for blatant plagarism
