Julija Stoliarenko collapse off the scale

i can not feel bad about that. i hope shes okay but weight cutting is the stupidest most bullshit aspect of the sport and only increases the chances of serious injuries health and organ issues and head trauma. get it the fuck out of the sport. it is so cringe to watch anyone go through a weight cut. its like what even is this??
 
How is this chick still gonna be allowed to fight by the commission? Fainted twice and couldn't even walk. Had to be carried out on a stretcher. what the fuck man.
 
Guess it's time to update the list of objects vs. UFC fighters

Bathtub: 3-0 (Barao, Zak Cummings, Priscila)
UFC Apex Facility: 2-0 (Trevin Giles, JoJo)
Dolly: 2-0 (Chiesa, Borg)
Cable: 1-0 (Ferguson)
Elevator: 1-0 (CB Dollaway)
Scale: 1-0 (Stoliarenko)
 
so yeah, why haven't we solved this weight cutting problem again?
 
I've "blacked out" and fallen before like this from taking hits that were way too deep... <45>

I think because
i) it would affect almost every fighter outside of HW to introduce rules around weigh in weight vs fight weight
and
ii) nobody has died (yet) and most fighters think that if they train correctly and cut correctly, they will have a competitive advantage over their opponents.

They just need to say no more than 10% above weightclass weight.

Fig max weight 137, Jan max weight 225, you can do the maths.
 
Overreaction.. The AC turned on as she got on the scale and the airflow knocked her back
 
Dumbest tradition in our sport.

Good thing that backdrop caught her fall. Could have slammed her head back into something nasty.
Great minds. As long as they don't die before fight night weight cutting is a GREAT idea! UFC should give out bonuses for "biggest cut of the night" - based on % weight fluctuation. Encourage more of this!
 
Am I the only one here that sees it as a personal choice? I mean if they want to kill themselves to make the lower weight class that's their choice. Nobody is forcing them to do that. Shitty she fainted but sounds like a poor decision to try so desperately to make 135 when she should be fighting at 145.
<{vega}>
 
If she had cormier’s towel to hold on to, it wouldn’t have happened.
