biggest (scary) weight cuts/gains

[Straatblaffer]

What are considered the most extreme MMA weight cuts? In boxing, guys like Terrence Crawford walk around at 175 and cut to 135. That seems insane. What are crazy MMA examples?

Rumble... even though he did miss. The guy cut to /or tried 170... and should have been fighting at 205 the whole time. Also, the guy has been bigger then bodybuilders with in the past year.

Drew Dober. 190s to 155.

 

[Josh Beasley]

Darren Till walking around at 215 and cutting to 170.

 

[taugrim]

Rumble and Till are the obvious ones.

Brandon Thatch was big at 170.

Does Crawford really cut that much? That's crazy for a boxer.

Cormier at LHW.

In recent years...

Conor hitting 145, and then probably getting back to like 168 or so, within a day.
Gleison Tibau going from 155 back to 183... This is the biggest I know of in recent years. He only did so with PED assistance too.
DC weighing in at 205 and then bouncing back to like 230...

That guy that looked like a skeleton at the weigh ins, James Irvin. That was the worst I have seen.

Anderson Silva at MW. Dude walks around 215 lbs and cuts to 185lbs.

Looks like he shedded his soul to lose the extra 0,1 pounds.

Travis Lutter was worse

 

[Ares Black]

Christian Bale

 

[ventrue]

Lutter was very bad. Forgot about him. Also, I was reading that Rory Markham ended up with a collapsed lung, and still fought.
Crazy stuff.

Christian Bale

Bale and McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club...

Seems like Apen Ladd is the queen, lol.

136 pounds to make BM, then show up at 159 in actual fight.

17% of her body weight, and she's a lady too, way less muscles too drain water from.

But then again, it seems like smaller fighters actually have easier time cuting large % of water weight from whatever reason.

John Dodson was apparently 152 pounds in the cage, and it didn't stop him from running around like a march hare, whatsoever.

Costa... dude looks like hes 230 pure muscle and fights @ 185
