He came in at 169. He probably stayed light for a opportunity like now or to fight real soon at lightweight I'm guessing. What is his normal weight?
 
Depends. Water cut is usually done after dieting, however at 170 he could potentially not diet and just water cut. I doubt he is much more than 175 lbs in fighting shape anyway. It could be a combination of both. Whatever he feels most comfortable with and makes him stronger.
 
He should've got Kelvin Gastlum to do his diet Taco Bell got all sorts of bulking food.
 
yeh he did an interview a couple weeks ago on mmamania and said he was around 185. so he probably dieted down 5-10 and cut cut the rest in water weight.
 
I doubt he cut much. My guess is that coming off his last fight he just basically did a maintenance and not much else. One of the commentators joked that he had a huge breakfast before coming in a pound under.

He doesn't seem like the type to get much bigger than what we seen though I am sure if he had more time in-between fights he would be bloated up more.

It will be an interesting fight.
 
He probably walks around 175 and cutting an extra 2 pounds is nothing
Surely he didn't need to diet since cerrone fight was just 4 weeks back

He has the advantage of being in best shape possible without getting fucked by any weight-cut lethargy

Respect the guy for fighting
Then respect him more for winning
 
probably not, it's probably just a diet thing without any dehydration
 
he had just fought at 155 I doubt he was much heavier than 170

Why you shaking your head? The question is what is his normal weight because he just fought not that long ago so maybe he didn't even get over 170. Smh

Bendo has been quoted numerous times to be above 170 on fight night fir his LW bouts.
And his trainer said he was around 185 this week, something that I don't actually believe, but the guy had to cut a few pounds, that I can almost guarantee you.

thats what i thought. But i know there are videos of him grappling i competition at 190 but they are a couple years olds. I think he may walk around at 185 out of training but bet he stays around the 175 mark in training. IMO

He walks in the low 180s I bet. He moved up to fight better guys at this tournament.

thats the exact opposite of what both he and a trainer said over the last few weeks. They say that he walks around just below 175
