Joe Rogan was right about one thing

Weight cutting is ridiculous. Fighters cut weight to get the size advantage, which means they aren't actually fighting in their own weight class. McGregor cut a ton of weight and was like a tank fighting bicycles in the featherweight division. Currently, the UFC heavily favors fighters who can cut the most weight.

Yeah...but that's not news. It happens in all weight classes except HW.

its part of the game

Shouldn't the fight game be about the best fighter and not the best weight cutter? It shouldn't matter that weight cutting is the norm right now. That's like saying it's ok for a fighter to use steroids if they all use it. Weight probably gives a much bigger advantage than steroids too.

Conor, Tito, Anderson and GSP (lil lesser perhaps) Has all looked ALOT bigger than the guys they usally fight. I got no idea if its about it or not, but all of them started loosing when they met other fighters with same or better reach.

I do think cutting is a big part of it.

Maybe a bit harsh on GSP. But i stand my ground on the 3 others.
