Lol @ ts getting shut down in a heartbeat.

I don't get it, you are posting this just to basically hate on DJ?

This thread is about CSAC posting fight night weights, which I couldn't be happier to see.

The 2 best 125 lb fighters both weighing over 140 lbs on fight day... This is exactly why the 125 lb division needs to be squashed. I say combine 125 and 135 into 130, then move up to 145.

I hope they do this every event. but it makes perfect sense they are up a full division.

I couldn't agree more.

142 for Cody is shocking

Difference between 130 and 145? 10.34%
Difference between 145 and 155? 6.45%

Your idea could use a lot more consistency.

He's said on twitter in the past that he weighs 146 lbs, he weighed 144.5 lbs on embedded 3 days prior to the fight, then 142 lbs on fight night.

You know what these guys look bigger on TV but they are really small. I am 6 feet tall and in pretty good shape usually I weigh 180 to 185. You’ll have to cut both my legs off to get me to weigh 140 pounds. Crazy.

Really? I always thought he looked tiny, even against cruz. I always thought he just looked more like a Flyweight

you're not getting it though. ALL of the fighters in EVERY weight class are heavier than what they actually are.

I know wrestling and other combat sports have been doing it forever but dehydrating your body a day before an atheltic event has always been the dumbest thing ever to me.
