Media "Sources tell me Leon Edwards has lost 12 pounds through his illness"

Sounds like an easy weight cut to me.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I have two shit jokes for this.

1) 12 pounds was actually going to be his purse for the fight in English money.

2) Wasn't he supposed to be cutting weight anyway?





Couldn't decide which one to go with, so have both.

Bruh... Leon just has the worst lost in MMA. This is some Ferguson level shit

Sounds like he's making excuses

 

[Sweater of AV]

That's rough. Hope he recovers soon.

Theres no way anyone is losing 12pounds in a few days of REAL bodyweight (muscle or fat). You can shit all you want, you're not losing 12pounds of muscle/fat as most of that is simply water so you rehydrate yourself.

And a UFC fighter like Edwards has very low body fat anyway.

12lbs loss in non-water bodyweight would take I'd say maybe 2 weeks if eating almost zero food. Which is possible I suppose.

prolly trying to make the made up story sound grand

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Lmao he also started his weight cut

Quack quack

If I had to chose between getting Covid and fighting Chimaev I might go that route too.

 

[fortheo]

Did I arrive before the sherdog doctors give their opinion?

 

[Rocket Punch]

with his luck, he's gonna be one of those people who never fully recover and lose some of their lung capacity

Maybe he had it for a while? Im not saying i believe the source thing right now as "sources" can be whatever, but it's def possible he had it for a while

yes I edited my post. I THOUGHT I read that it was 12lbs in just a few days but I misread a bit. Def possible over a couple weeks or more, fair play.

The second is pound for pound the best

 

[Kryptt]

Speedy recovery and all that.

so 12lbs over a few weeks... isnt that just normal weight cutting?

 

[Chubi]

Wow, poor Leon...Even with a month to recover, he won't be in top shape. Maybe Chimaev will fight Maia after all...

 

[SmoothPies]

Damn that sounds brutal
