Hi guys,

Many people say Khabib is a big weight cutter and walks around way above 180 lbs. But is this accurate and does he or his trainer ever speaks about this? Also who is the biggest cutter nowadays?

There are as many definitions of "walking around weight" as their are people. Ask 5 people, you'll likely get 6 different answers.

The biggest documented weight cutter at LW - and by that I mean delta between weigh-in and fight night weight, by CSAC - is:

Fighter Weigh-in Fight Night Delta % Division W/L Event Date
Christos Giagos 155 176.2 13.7 LW L UFC 241 8/17/2019​

Unfortunately the sample sizes are small, and the trend of fight night weighs is probably over.

Just have him and GSP fight at 165 this shouldn’t be an issue. I want to watch this fight. Don’t you?

No

The weight is a touchy subject for Khabib. If you look up past interviews he doesn't want to say or the numbers wary. One time he's 180, then 195.

He's said 185 in a dozen different interviews. He said 195 once after spinal surgery.

420lbs

It’s been documented he’s around 170lbs.

Where is the documentation. Do share.

Yeah, thats what I thought. Is this confirmed somewhere?

Confirmation is interviews with his team mates, Thompson I know for sure said it. Others have as well I just can't recall which interview or teammate mentioned it. Recently Khabib stated in an interview about a possible fight with GSP that he would be around 180 in the cage and he figured GSP would be around 190 if they fight at WW.

That was before the barboza fight. Khabib hadn't trained in months because of spinal surgery. Josh has said in multiple interviews afterward that Khabib lost a lot of weight.

I mean its no ones business.De la hoya famously never wanted his fight night weight listed. But if you take all statements,the number that is always comin up is 185 - 190

Early in career when fought at WW and early in his current LW run, he was walking around at 200-202lbs outside of fight camp. Now he’s at 184-188lbs when not in fight camp. There are many FW’s and LW’s who walk around in the 180s outside of fight camp.

Khabib gets to 190+ lbs after Ramadan but is lighter than that most of the year.
