Compilation of Fighters' Cage Weight

[ignorant MMA fan]

I really like this thread, by the Cyborg source suggests her walk around weight, not cage weight.

"You know, before I used to walk around at 180 or 185 and now I’m walking around at 170."

On top of that, it doesn't pass the smell test. All men's featherweights hydrate up to 160-165, but Cyborg hydrates to 170?

Love your work @acannxr (anyone with a Cowboy Bebop av is good by me)

Jose Aldo: 164 lbs

Should it be noted this is not cage weight but while clothed, including shoes?

Thanks.

And the weight that Aldo cited was from memory (this was before he stepped on that scale at the boxing gym), which I assume was previously acquired without clothes and shoes. Furthermore, a one pound fluctuation is probably true for all the numbers in the original post.

For someone who likes this thread, you could've at least read the first page, because I already addressed this; she weighed 175 lbs just three days after fighting, which means a cage weight of 170 lbs is very believable.

Cyborg also has Lockhart as a nutritionist, who was giving her diuretics to make weight (there's a video of them discussing it on YouTube, I can look for it later if you want a source).

Nah. I'll just avoid the thread.

I’d be surprised if Kelvin really is only 187 on fight night. Dude must be a real fat fuck during camp lol . I see him at easily 200

It's unusual that he has problems making Welterweight if he's only 187 lbs at Middleweight, but until I have a more recent source for his weight I've got to leave that number as is.

Jesus christ, this is pretty telling. These guys gotta tone this shit down in my opinion. We are 1 bad cut away from seeing somebody die or be permanently fucked up from it. Thinking of the Darren Till video specifically

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

khabib 166, one of the smalles light weights in that list

he ragdolls people like he is a weight class above them

wonder what ferguson weighs in the cage

 

[cevo]

Khabib almost the same weight as Aldo? LOL right.

 

[cevo]

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

Dodson almost cut the same amount and he's like 5"1 LMAO

Wow. Drew Dober cuts the most weight and is one of the dudes whining for a 165 pound division. He comes into the fights almost as big as a middle weight. This shit is getting ridiculously stupid.

Kelvin really likes real mexican dinners.

She’s def not 170 in the cage. Her bf percentage is higher than all the 145 males due to being a female so it’s probably around 17-18 percent compared to the men’s 10 percent. She’s not cutting more than the largest males in her division. (Also Northcutt is 6’ 181. Cyborg isn’t 5 inches shorter and only 10 pounds lighter than him).

 

[MuddyGrass]

Anything figure for Tony Ferguson?

I am guessing about 10%.

 

[bambammccoy]

Khabib 166 in the cage while Conor is 171 in the cage?

Interesting.

She was 175 lbs just three days after fighting.

I am guessing about 10%.

Trying to find anything on him is difficult due to him bragging about his walk around weight.
