Claudia "Big Rig" Gadelha used to cut up to 33 lbs

[lalaland]

Claudia Gadelha used to cut a whooping 22-33 lbs before fights. Now she cuts about 13-15 lbs.

I don’t cut much weight anymore," Gadelha said during a recent media scrum in Brazil. "I learned that by losing much weight, I also lose performance inside the Octagon, so I’m staying lighter now. I learned to eat better, so I live on a diet now. I don’t go out of my diet a day now, not even on the weekends, because I have to be around 126 pounds to cut 13 or 15 pounds before the fight. No more cutting 22, 33 pounds for me.

115+33=148. That's Miesha Tate territory.

Not sure if water cut is unaffected and she just stays leaner between fights.

I for one am sure USADA had nothing to do with it.

33/148=22% of her bodyweight. She'd be dead if she ever tried anything like it, so maybe she meant diet + cut. Fighters overstate how much they cut anyway, which is dumb because if anything they should get pride in saying that they cut very little.

She looks about tree fiddy on fight night.

 

[LouisBolanos]

Only 33 lbs?

 

[Iroh]

How much inches does she cut though?

Of course not, it's not like the UFC was required to contact the Brazilian commission when they wanted to do tests prior to USADA and fighters in Brazil were told days ahead of any test.

Nothing like that at all.

Want to make it seems like they work hard, so they exaggerate weight cuts. Not once have I seen Gadelha look 33 pounds more then when she fights.

She doesn't weigh 115 when she fights.

 

[lalaland]

She once said she weighed 134 on fight night, but I'm not sure if at SW.
