It's more than that as someone ages they have a harder time recovering; when you are 20 you can recover from being dehydrated in a few hours tops, think of a hangover which is mostly dehydration but in your 30s it's totally different.

I understand weight cutting. Aldo had some rough cuts at 145, but is disciplined enough to cut down to 135 in his mid 30's because he's hungry to win another title. Dustin is comfortable, rich and enjoys eating. He knows he doesn't have to fight another fight in his life and still be okay.
