Biggest weight cut in UFC history

[pamirec]

Rumble and Tibau.

 

[LeoCarmine]

 

[CBohl]

Roy Nelson cuts from 650+ pounds

Ronda Rousey

 

[Sean Long]

BJ Penn would usually cut from 285 lbs down to WW and or LW. He stayed at 285 in hopes Fedor would call him out.

 

[MurrDawg]

Tito once weighed like 251 a few hours after making 205. Dont know if that was real.

This from the man who said he fought with a cracked skull. Oh Tito. I'll miss your quotes and excuses

 

[geezus17]

still would

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Anderson back when people though he dehydrated from 235 to 185 and right back up on fight night.

Having fat makes weight cutting harder as fat carries less water than muscle.

True but for example Brock would have lost some fat and cut the rest as water. It's highly unlikely he would cut 35lbs of water. He isn't the leanest guy but still heavily muscled.he would have the benefit of eating a little clean and losing a portion of that weight rather easily. A 300lb guy losing 35 lbs is very different than a smaller guy doing the same . It's a percentage thing. It's less significant. That was my main point. I probably wasn't bring clear .Your point is correct though.

Oh I know it's not out of the question for someone as big as Brock to cut that much. I was just pointing out that fat doesn't help a water cut.

Percentage wise Barao was pretty crazy. He has cut close to 30 lbs of water (I heard he was 163 in the cage once) and it showed at weigh ins, he actually looked inhuman lol.

Dat torso *shudder*

This is why he passed out hitting his head on a bathtub and doesn't fight at BW anymore.

Yeah Barao looked like Skeletor during weigh ins, was nuts.

Good God that looks so bad.
Glad he is at fw now.

Lot of people here seem get confused by water weightcutting before weigh-ins and dropping down in weight from pre-camp weight, to weigh-in weight.

 

[Taric]

Gleison Tibau has weighed 181lbs on the night of a fight.
That's putting on 26lbs in 24 hours, which is obviously pure water weight.

I'm pretty sure Tibau wins this.

Riggs was 300 and fought at 170. Just look at his big ass tattoos. And look at his aging face. I think the dude has lost many years off of his life by draining himself and so many weight changes. That's what happen to Riddick Bowe imo. Totally not healthy.

 

[Maudseetdik]

based on obvious size to weight division:
-Tibau to 155
-Rampage to 205
-Tito Ortiz to 205
-Rockhold to 185


I don't think Conor is that big (at 145). He's 5'9'', which is KZ territory and shorter than Holloway and Pettis (who was at 155).

He's 5'7

Kenny Florian and Gleison Tibau are also in the running.
