Gunnar Nelson cuts only 3 kg to make weight at WW

[PubliusVentidius]

Hespect for fighting at his natural weight class in a sport full of massive weight cutters.

WAR Gunnar

Dumb move by him.

Since Holloway was unable to make 155 on a 6 days notice, I'd assume that he's bigger than Gunnar.

Dumb post by you.

Entered thread to see a proof of this claim

leaving disappointed

All I see is a video that could have been taken any time

It's because food is so goddamn expensive in Iceland...

I knew he was about 175. I’m very similar in build, tiny for a WW.

That's how it should be. Weight cutting is waay too big a part of mma. I wish the UFC would adopt One Championship's weighting protocol. It makes perfect sense to test them for hydration and keep it in a certain limit.

Less fights will be lost and fighter's physical and mental health will be better preserved.

He should cut to 145 then, he'd win more fights.

smart man

Platinum Mike Perry would murk him lol

 

[PlatinumAmerican]

Everyone is different but Gunnar looks healthy in his fights sogood for him

Platinum Mike Perry would murk him lol

Just no.

He's a small guy who doesn't lift weights.

A big, strong guy like Usman would make Nelson change his mind about being a small welterweight.

He's too small and it shows.

Was coming in expecting to hear Gunnar give his weight. All I get is someone else saying he weighs 80kg+.

That's his dad, and ther'es a small clip embedded in the twitter post where you can see Gunnar weighting 79kg on the scale.

No point in cutting down to 155 for him. He’d have to eat less, enjoy training less, and still be fringe top 10 at 155.

I don't know but Max looked bigger than Khabib or Al Iaquinta. Weird that the 145 champ is that big. Even at 155 Max Holloway will be a big 155'er.
