Compilation of Fighters' Cage Weight

[Pain4Pain]

I find it hard to believe that the Chris weighs 193 in the cage. The guy is more built than Andy and Moose. He is probably closer to 200 nowadays.

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>

I'm having a real hard time believing Weismann is only 192-193.

They should raise all the weights below WW by 5 lbs.
130 FLW
140 BW
150 FW
160 LW
170 WW
That way the lineage stays the same, but the weight cut for LWs is far more manageable and you get less fights getting screwed over. It also increases the talent pool for FLW which is needed.

I always wonder why anyone thinks changing the weight classes accomplishes anything after 6 months. Sure, it'll be great for the next card, maybe 2 cards, then after 6 months, everyone just starts cutting as much as they can again to the new numbers.

Pre-2015? Absolutely not.
Post-2015? It's evident.

This means that gsp was bigger than him before the bisping fight lol.

But Rogan said he was a gorilla and talk d about how big he was and it didn’t show in pics correctly.

He had trouble rehydrating after the cut since he was colitis shiting non stop after the cut and still made it to 191, making him thicker than wideman? Don’t think so.

To many lies around weight for psyc out reasons. Need to see fools on a scale.

Here's some more eye-test evidence:

GSP has thicker arms, legs, and core, which is only natural given that GSP is shorter than Weidman, but them weighing the same (or within 1-2 lbs) isn't as absurd as you're attempting to make it out to be.

So woodleys walk around at 200 weight is because of McDonald’s apparently and came into the fight week in the high 70’s for that fight and cut from high 70’s to make 70.

This makes a lot of sense for George looking like a monster next to him right before the bisping fight. Especially since we saw George on a scale at 198.6 before his cut.

From your link we can assume his cage weight is high 70’s or low 180’s now without the McDonald’s. Which I believe and been saying for a minute

I haven’t kept up with Weidman and didn’t realize he wasn’t as think now as he was vs Anderson. I am in agreement with the statement now

Thanks!!

So did George take Weidman down that day?

If this is from right before the bisping fight we had seen him on a scale at 198.6, it’s possible George was actually the heavier fighter that day!

Pretty sure I heard DC say his fighting weight at LHW has been about 225.

I dont think he's been coming in at 235. That's like a kiddie pools worth of water.

This post makes zero sense; Woodley said in the link I cited that he cuts from 190 lbs.
GSP cut from 188 lbs when he competed at Welterweight; he said on Rogan's podcast that he was 191-192 lbs when he fought Bisping, but I (nor GSP himself) considers him a Middleweight, which is why I only posted his Welterweight numbers.

 

[jeremyemilio]

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

He let's go of the towel?

 

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

Nate (In conor fights) - 510 pounds

Accurate

In the 2008 Olympics, Cormier attempted to cut 29 lbs (compared to the 31 lbs he cuts in the UFC). Additionally, the weight that McCarthy was citing was when Cormier had that towel incident and was 1.2 lbs over the limit.

How does tj outweight garbrandt...

By having bigger balls.

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

Sounds like torture to me.

What's even crazier is that Cormier doesn't even have the highest weight cut (percentage-wise):

Cyborg: 14.7%
Barao: 14.0%
McGregor: 13.7% (Featherweight)
Cormier: 13.1%

Cyborg, jeebus, putting the men to shame.

Thanks!!

I saw an Instagram story Weidman put up about two weeks after the moose fight and he weighed 223 for what it's worth
