Fighter suspended for dangerous weight cut! lets talk about weight cutting!

[BEATDOWNS]

In a way I'm glad there was repercussions for an extreme weight cut. I know this was a Bellator fighter but this discussion can range across all organizations. So this can be discussed in UFC forum. imo

Post some bad weight cuts and your overall thoughts on weight cutting and possible solutions to the problem!

Go.

Be careful with what you post for consumption boy and girls....

We know that cutting weight is dangerous, but the MMA community doesn’t need idiots posting exactly what they put themselves through to get there ffs.

Shame on you Mr. Adam Peckerinni

I personally feel it is a domino effect. If the guys at the heavier weight classes are doing the lower guys really don't much of a choice or they will be dwarfed at their natural weight and therein lies a big part of the problem.

I hate just putting "suspended" in the headline or thread title, it's a medical suspension not a disciplinary one. He didn't get in trouble for posting the video.

I wonder if he's got some kind of undiagnosed condition which when put under stress from the weight cut caused him to vomit green-yellow liquid

I might have the same condition, something very similar happened to me only I drank 23 white claws instead of cutting weight

Weight cutting is stupid. What's the advantage if you're both cutting weight anyways??

 

[RageQuitLord]

Weight cutting could absolutely be stopped and it is retarded because as a fan who just cares about seeing good fights we are not seeing these athletes preform anywhere near their physical peaks

Just prohibit weight cutting. Adjust weight classes upwards 10 to 20 lbs and require fighters to be on weight within two weeks of the fight at all times. Easy to enforce. Problem solved.

Green-yellow liquid coming out of your body is usually bile. It's actually not that uncommon, I had it happen once when I was doing a cut in my youth

"Bile vomiting isn't always a sign of serious illness. Vomiting green or yellow bile on an empty stomach is common, as the body has nothing else to release besides digestive secretions."

Piccolotti hasn't fought in almost two years because off a bad knee injury and he has a history off throwing up. Maybe he does have a medical condition or he just has a sensitive stomach

Case in point

The advantage is you and your opponent get to fight each other in a weight class where you weigh relatively the same on fight night.

If they dont cut weight they fight in the weight class above them where their opponents will have cut water weight and cone into the fight weighing significantly heavier than them giving them an advantage in the fight.

I hope he's okay. Weight cutting has to go.

Obviously if everyone agreed not to cut weight it would be perfect. But sadly, if your opponent is going to cut weight, so do you, unless you wanna be Yoshida facing Anthony Johnson

 

[TheChance]

He must have gotten ahold of some original recipe fight milk

Got himself suspended after a W lol

Still crazy to think Rich Clementi a LW beat him. Lol

He definitely doesn't fight like a crow so it's not working

Random weigh ins same as a drug test. Throw the fuckers on a scale! if they weigh 205 they are not allowed to fight at fricken 185 ect.

He was trying to become a small thing, and live up to his last name.
