Media Amanda Lemos during weight cutting process (insane)

[Jinx_AA]

Insanity

That’s why you gotta love undersized champs !

 

[Ironheart]

I said she was an ex-BW and did not look good on the embedded videos for Weili. They even had 1 episode without her in it at all.

She is cutting too much, clearly. I don’t really use the phrase weight bully. But she’s endangering herself cutting that much.

I mean, I'm no pro fighter but I feel like being a "weight bully" (a term I don't use, either) has to have some sort of dimishing returns, after a point? Now that they can't IV the way they used to, I feel like 24 hours just isn't near long enough to recover from that extreme dehydration.

 

[BisonTyson]

Normal operating procedure. It's what they do. Look at Chimaev etc.

It’s part of the reason they moved weigh ins to the morning

 

[StunGUNsEXYAMA**]

And went 5 rounds

 

[Seahawks Fan]

Scary stuff. Weight cutting needs to be fixed across the board

 

[StonedLemur]

This is just about everyone during a cut so this is not new.

 

[StonedLemur]

Reminds me of Darren Till almost killing himself to make 170

Till is probably among the most undisciplined fighters out there.

 

[StonedLemur]

Looks pretty normal for a weight cut. I was expecting something scary to happen

I said the same sir.

 

[StonedLemur]

At this point I'm convinced someone has to die before anyone actually enforces some sort of rule on this shit.

We'll keep seeing these drastic weight cutting scenes, fighters will continue to miss weight/fall off the scale, we'll all be horrified for 10 minutes and move on like nothing happened.

People have died from weight cutting sir, just not in the UFC.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Me when I don't eat for 6 hours.

 

[StonedLemur]

Anyone who is dumb enough to cut weight like that deserves whatever happens to them.

This is pretty standard sir.

 

[Dana's Conscience]

Not a career, an opportunity.

 

[bjjwar]

Some actual bums have already fought for the title at W125, Lemos could be in the top 3 within 1 or 2 fights there. Half the top 15 are bums.

Yeah, i mean just look at the 125 division, it’s the worst in the UFC’s history. Makes no sense to cut down if you could just fight bums at the worst division that ever existed and get easy wins…

 

[TomTomNT]

what is this supposed to show me aside from wanting pitty tears? No one is making her fight at that weight...obv its not your natural weight, its not that i dont feel bad for her, which i guess i dont because its self inflicted, but i do care, i would rather she didnt have to suffer, but at the same time she is doing it to get an advantage so i dont see her complaining when she is ragdolling smaller fighters in her division that chose not to cut that weight.

She is choosing advantage over health, in pro sports with weight classes this is as normal as working a 9-5, just another day at the office, unless rules are changed which they wont because fighters themselves dont want it, this will just continue to happen. Probably will require for someone to lose their life by collapsing during like live weigh ins or something for there to be even a thought about a change.

 

[Poirierfan]

Not good at all, she packs too much muscle for that weight class.

 

[Diktaattori]

This is the kinda bullshit that makes me appreciate Frankie Edgar even more. Are these people really so fucking scared to fight people their own size that they'd rather kill themselves backstage.

 

[Willy Beamish]

No one forces them to do it

 

[Poirierfan]

This is the kinda bullshit that makes me appreciate Frankie Edgar even more. Are these people really so fucking scared to fight people their own size that they'd rather kill themselves backstage.

It's not always this drastic, but just one person going to this extreme is one too many. I wrestled a weight class above at State my senior year on last minutes notice. I ate everything I could and was still like 5 lbs under 140. There's no reason for this bullshit.

 

[NoSmilez]

I want to see Weili's weight cut. She doesn't really show it but there is footage of her looking like dog shit days before the weigh ins.
