"“He had constipation during weight cut,” Ismail said. “The fight almost didn’t happen. He only fought so the pay-per-view wouldn’t lose the main event. He didn’t even attend the meeting after the [weigh-ins] because he didn’t have a proper rehydration after the weigh-ins. He made weight so easily on Thursday afternoon.”"

What do you think about this. So basically the guy went to the hospital due to weight cut side effects and got taken care of and received IVs etc. Seems like a bit of a loophole.
 
"God of War" depleted himself to the point of being rushed to the hospital for constipation.

Time for BW.
 
You can tell he was off. His power was a little light of typical. He was feeling everything he got hit with noticeably At times, early even, he appeared unusually off-balance. I think he stops Moreno in the rematch, but Moreno had a great round 4 and if he can be inspired by that to really push himself even further he could still pull an upset. I thought Moreno was the closer of the two to finishing the fight.

Nowhere in that article does it say he received IVs before the fight. I assume the commission would not allow the fight to proceed if that were the case.

They don’t have to say it. If he was in the hospital in the US for dehydration, an IV with fluids is standard procedure and just about the very first thing they will do to treat dehydration.

The article also never says he was in the hospital for dehydration. It says he had a stomach infection, a stomach full of wind, and constipation.
If he needed an IV the fight should have been called off IMO unless USADA has some sort of therapeutic exception I'm not aware of.
 
So he didn't defend twice in 4 weeks and you don't have wool lingering on your midsection?

You're very angry and it's humorous.

You sound like you might be projecting wool and midsection issues there bud. Keep crying for me.
