News Kayla Harrison Considering Drop To BW

[Sasha]

I said the top women at BW. If you think that top 5 in BW are mere scrubs then I can’t help you. I’m getting a little tired of the contrarian attitude that pervades the boards. Disagreeing just for the sake of it without logic or reason behind it is not a great argument.

no

 

[Iroh]

It's always smart to drop some weight when entering the USADA-program...

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Would it surprise you if she couldn’t?

Yes if she's considering doing it, she's a very professional athlete.

 

[Reign009]

That sounds really unhealthy for her.

 

[Ube]

She just has to starve (eat salad) for half a year. It’s not that complicated. Muscle doesn’t stay on if you don’t feed it and lift weights regularly

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

She'd have to lose some muscle but then she'd probably lose what makes her good. She was born with Brock genes and there just aren't a lot of women out there like her to compete against.

 

[The Accuser]

She's got bigger chest than Conor, so she has plenty of muscle mass to drop, I guess.

Am I the only one who always wants to lick her armpits?

Rent free

 

[jeff7b9]

Why?

Because Nunes lost her 135 belt?

She really should try to run shit at 145.

 

[13Seconds]

She can def do it. There's this thing called dieting.

 

[accolyte1022]

Oh so JUST another 10 lbs.. like it’s nothing at all? Why doesn’t every fighter on the roster just do it? Fighting one fight at FW in Invicta is not even remotely the same thing as fighting the top women in the UFC BW division.

Yeah, she has a very large frame and little body fat.

 

[GORO]

God no wtf that no health

 

[Poirierfan]

A lot of muscle must go.

 

[STAY GOLD]

I remember her on the MMA Hour telling Helwani she could fight at 145 a few times a year, but didn't want to commit to that division full time as it was a rough cut for her. I guess the UFC probably offered more money, but required a drop to 135. It's gonna be crazy seeing what she will look at that weight.

 

[Mammothman]

She won't, she is too big for 135

 

[Mammothman]

She's got bigger chest than Conor, so she has plenty of muscle mass to drop, I guess.

Jeez... Those lats.

 

[Kryptt]

Saw this yesterday - Gotta see it!

Damn, i bet her kesa gatame is painful.

 

[Askafan]

Kayla has clarified that she was joking about 135, people saying the quip went over Raimondi's head.

 

[m249viking]

Yes 145 is bad and we all know that

Yah, 145 was created special just for cyborg to fight 135ers and she got KTFO.
