John Dodson at 152 pounds day of fight

[Degen Gambler]

Dodson is trolling.

I think so too. My guess is he weights low 140s.

 

[thechoice2]

You're an idiot if you believe someone has cut 18% of their body weight.

 

[Jason AG]

he's got a monkey on his back

 

[HockeyBjj]

Dudes gotta either have a belly absolutely full of water and food

Or he's even pushing on the counter a bit. I think he'll weigh 145 in the cage

Bantam weights don't cut from 154. That's like a couple pounds smaller than a feather

Edit: someone ask Creepy if he thinks it's even plausible for this to be true for Dodson. He'd know best of anyone. I know he once cut like 20 pounds and said it was the worst decision of his life but he did make it I guess

Brilliant Mr Obvious~!, thanks for pointing out that 99.9% of society isn't a ripped to the bones MMA fighter... I wasn't sure, so... ummm, thanks

Yet post after post on sherdog describes the 125ers as being child size, so clearly it isn't obvious to a lot of (probably fat) posters.

 

[samoajoe]

He cut 27 pound!??? Shit just got real

He didn't cut 27lbs when people rehydrate that add some weight as well

 

[EndlessCritic]

I don't think this is impossible.

 

[Handawg]

Moraga's gotta be in the 140's somewhere. He's a big FLW.

Lol

He might be holding a weight, Tito pulled a similar stunt posting him weighing 250 the day after which is flat out impossible lol.

 

[spid3yo]

I hope this pic is really from before camp and he's trolling everyone.

Dominick Cruz walks at 156-159 and Barao at 170. Most bantams cut from between 150-160.

True. And some flys cut from the 150s. I know several, both pro and amateur that do.

 

[Skydome]

It's entirely possible. McCall has been over 150 on fight day as well.

 

[The Jeweler757]

he had a Q&A on facebook the other day n someone asked if its true he walks around close to 160 he said yes.

 

[Degen Gambler]

I remember Faber saying he walks around at 153 to 155. He has a similar build to Dodson but is 3 inches taller.

 

[PAPERCLIP30]

Do we know if this is for real and that he's isn't holding a weight or something to play mind games though? This is more weight than Barao puts back on at a lower weight class...

No it isnt, Barao puts on like 35 lbs

 

[MattyMatt926]

You're an idiot if you believe someone has cut 18% of their body weight.

And you're an idiot for saying that...

 

[BigMuffler]

No it isnt, Barao puts on like 35 lbs

Against Faber 159-135=24, and the most I've heard of him being on fight day was 163... which okay is 1 pound more put on than Dodson here, but he's also a weight class higher.

 

[grimballer]

TJ already said he would like to go down to 125 and get that belt too..

so the guy whos the champ in weight class above can go down n fight?

thats wahy its a joke having a weight class every 10 pounds.

thats why there should be 25 pounds between weight classes.

this shit is turning mma into boxing.
