Compilation of Fighters' Cage Weight

[boss429]

In other words, your source is the eye test? Well, if we go by that, how did you not notice that Weidman has been looking smaller since 2015? <Lmaoo>

Do you have a source for his in cage weight pre IV ban? I imagine it was much higher at that point.

Khabib Nurmagomedov: 166 lbs

Don't beleive it.

 

[Super Shotgun]

this is there cage weight supposedly, not their walk around weight

khabib walks around close to 200

Walk around weight is irrelevant

 

[Prutfis]

Carwin cut 3 feet and 340 lbs while gaining 6 glove sizes.

 

[tenniswhiz]

Would make them look stupid when everyone is 20 pounds heavier than their weigh in weight, I'd imagine. Would further highlight how farcical the whole thing is.

But everyone already knows and speculates ballpark figures...

 

[cshireman4]

How the fuck does Cormier gain 31 lbs in 36 hours? Is there something i'm missing?

 

[acannxr]

She is wearing heels with the Aldo picture.

I wasn't posting those pictures to showcase her height, she has the size to make 170 lbs believable.

I don’t know if someone in khabib’s camp or himself said he’s 166 in the cage but I can guarantee it’s false. There is no way he would even struggle to make weight if that’s where he started his cut from. He’s drained as hell during fight week too. I fight at fw and weigh about 161-63 in the cage. khabib is a much bigger guy then I am.

Khabib Nurmagomedov: 166 lbs

Don't beleive it.

For the Barboza fight:

“I weighed this morning, 15lbs (left to cut). 14 days or two weeks to weigh-in, I think it’s good. Seven kilograms, not bad."

The 166 lb number is more recent so that's what I have in the original post.

Do you have a source for his in cage weight pre IV ban? I imagine it was much higher at that point.

Trying to find it would be difficult given the number of articles on Weidman and weight cutting (him talking about being lighter for Rockhold, which was post-USADA; him talking about his weight cut against Maia, etc.).

SOLID LIST. Been waiting for one of these for a long long time. Only change I'd make is Tyron Woodley. He said himself he weighs more than Bisping walking around. Pretty sure Tyron cuts down from over 200 pounds

 

[KingKong113]

Must be thick bones.

But doesn't mean that's her cage weight if it's 3 days later. Fighters must eat their ass out after their fights. And the source material doesn't show that to be true either.

eat their ass out? is that the fighter diet? ass and veggies?

 

[KingKong113]

I don't understand how these guys compete sucking that much weight.

Sounds like torture to me.

thats why you're seeing some fighters have more success when they move up a weight class. a recent example is anthony smith

 

[Fantasy]

Imagine the dumps cyborg takes. What a beast

 

[acannxr]

He said himself he weighs more than Bisping walking around. Pretty sure Tyron cuts down from over 200 pounds

Walk around weight is irrelevant in this thread; and in addition to the source in the original post, I've heard from Woodley's own mouth on an Embedded (that has since been removed) that he cuts from 190 lbs.

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

Light Heavyweight
Jon Jones: 216 lbs

that's his weight at one of his cutting points, not his in-cage weight.

 

[acannxr]

@acannxr

Added them to the list, nice find, though I put an asterisk next to Anders since the source of the info was his opponent.

 

[acannxr]

that's his weight at one of his cutting points, not his in-cage weight.

Fighters don't cut water 5 days out from weigh in.

 

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

Fighters don't cut water 5 days out from weigh in.

Still not the same thing as fight night weight.

They don't cut water but they avoid sodium and carbs which allow your body to hold 10-15% more body-weight for a fight.

 

[Sterling]

@acannxr

Damn that's unreal, he did look huge though

 

[acannxr]

Still not the same thing as fight night weight.

When CSAC released the fight night weigh ins for UFC 227, the fighters' weights confirmed the numbers I already had for them.

I won't pretend like these numbers will always be 100% accurate, but they're pretty close, and it's all we've got till every AC follows CSAC's footsteps and releases fight night weigh ins.

 

[acannxr]

Added Michael Bisping (200 lbs); he said it on Rogan's podcast, but since it's still live I couldn't timestamp anything.
