This Is How Crazy Weight Cutting Is Now

[Deleted member 359865]

Meanwhile Mighty Duck is refusing to fight an opponent who would be at most 5 lbs heavier come fight night

this blatant ducking isnt talked about enough. the fact that he has no problem destroying the weakest division without fighting the best in the world is crazy, but he has no problem being framed as the most dominant champion in history. smh low key pathetic

Didn't Rumble used to fight at 170? He was cutting from well above 200....hell he had to cut down to get to 205 ! And yeah, he did miss weight a lot, but more and more fighters are cutting 50lbs from walk-around weight to weigh-in.

Yeah but Rumble dieted year round. Its kind of sad he had to hold back from eating the entire time.. fuckin crazy.

I know you’re just trolling to start s, but you can’t be this clueless, are you?

Lol everybody knows that he ducked TJ. This is well documented, MM priced himself out of the match

At least you realize your 5lbs comment was wrong and not worth trying to back up.

Not including dieting, big cuts are usually around 20 LBS of water weight before a fight.

Till said he's 190lbs fight week, that's only 20lbs over WW.

In comparison Dern was 140lbs fight week, that's 25lbs over the limit.

The difference between 171 lbs and 190 lbs is 10%.
The difference between 116 lbs and 140 lbs is 17%.

Matt Hughes said he was over 200lbs so pretty much nothings changed.

If true then holy shit at weight cutting at general.

If you think Cro Cop was 213 pounds, you're out of your mind. They also listed Cro Cop as 213 pounds in his very next fight against Randleman, and Mauro announced his weight as 228 pounds.

I'd fuck one of them for sure, even with all the extra weight

How tf did you get 2 yellows?

Edit:

Meanwhile Mighty Duck is refusing to fight an opponent who would be at most 5 lbs heavier come fight night..for shit money

Fixed that for you

Darren Till, a WW, is near 200 pounds in the cage. As are other big WWs like Woodley. For comparision, Cro Cop, a HW, fought as low as 213 pounds.

I wouldn't be surprised if WWs are over 205 pounds in the cage in 10 years.

Till is nothing shocking or new.

Tibau started cutting from around 200 lbs. to 155 like a year after fight happened.

Every pound should be 20%. Over 5lbs you have to choose whether to fight for free or not. That way the pressure isn't on the guy who made weight to cancel the fight and let the fans down or not, it's on the cheat that tried to come in heavy.

Sounds good on paper because it is draconian, and Sherdog loves overly heavy punishment. But in practice it would simply lead to more canceled fights.

You know nothing about weight cutting if you think tj would only have five pounds on him. There's a four inch height difference, and tj is muscled

Yeah but cro cop was juiced to the gills!!!!

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

they need to learn to fight people their own size. some big name has to die of kidney failure during a cut for any changes to be made

The problem is that they pretty much are the same size....almost everyone is cutting extreme amounts of weight, to fight other guys the same size as them.

I say ban weight cutting entirely. It's been done and works, we would get the sams match ups (mostly) but with healthier fighters.

how da fook did you get double yellows?

I gotta say, never saw a 213 pound Crocop...prob 231 typo.

He really should be fighting in the 185lb weight class.
