Media Khabib's training camp | weight cut episode

[HHJ]

Yeah, but I think there's something to be said about guys who do fight in their natural weight class. They might be smaller or weaker, but the stamina advantage is massive. Look at Buckley- Comes in at 182, completely jacked, and still has the stamina to throw bombs all fight.

I also heard about something about cutting less weight means more fluid surrounding your brain, which supposedly makes you harder to concuss. Frankie stands as the best example of that.

There are benefits and disadvantages to not cutting weight or cutting weight. But lets face it,a guy like Hendricks had to kill himself to make 170 because he is like a midget at for 185. Imagine him tryin to fight Adesanya or Yoel?

love the selective outrage. It's only Khabib that gets this treatment when it comes to weight cutting.

 

[GOATtalks]

So if a guy weighs 157 pounds he's going to fight at WW?

That’s the basic idea of weight classes. He can choose to diet down 2 pounds or to put on some muscle mass

Speaking of Costa I still don’t know how he makes 185. That’s a fat bitch out of camp.

Literally everyone is doing the same shit.

I think the hard weigh cut is what keeps khabib away from ufc and as inactive as he was.

Nope. Just injuries and circumstances.

Khabib confirmed weight bully.

Fighters always talk about good and smooth weight cuts while you have this near death shit with khabib

Lol they all have it bad mate dont get it twisted. Let's not also forget Khabib had a broken foot so he couldn't even run just bike and sauna.

EDIT: The guy also had mumphs. Infections make it harder to lose weight if you didn't know.. This is not a normal weight cut for Khabib as stated by his friends on the vid but he still made weight HAPPY DAYS

 

[Bos Docken]

I'm glad I'm not a fighter. Weight cutting sucks.

Brutal. But excellent video. Credit to thread starter for sharing this, and to Khabib's camp for making this public.

Really shows the extreme hardship these fighters go through. Khabib is so dehydrated, just standing there is agony. You can see how his body is in a majorly compromised state. That is the harsh reality of it. Weight cutting is like killing yourself by degrees.

Also shows how pro fighters are a different breed when it comes to force of will and determination. Imagine how it feels, going through all of that, and then fighting... most people can't even conceive of it. Most would quit after less than an hour of such pain.

 

[Bos Docken]

Makes me think of this old video of Joanna Jedrzejczyk crying and having a breakdown while cutting weight.

She can't keep a stony face like Khabib. But you can't blame her, obviously the suffering is immense.

A normal weight cut is when he's having seizures and missing weight

Khabib has missed weight ONE time in the UFC lol and it was more than half a decade ago so just stop mate. OUT of 13 tries at LW he's hit the target 12 times. Khabib is not a weight bully.

How old are you

Please dont bring age to this, nothing to with age. I know were hes was going with the retarded argument.

Should have use this gif much better.

 

[Rocket Punch]

Also, Conor, who I'm sure you hate, had to guts to fight at 3 different weight classes. He killed himself to make 145, fought at a more reasonable 155, and then had the guts to fight at 170.

Has Khabib done that? He hasn't even gone up to 170 to fight a journeyman like Diaz.

and Conor is not the GOAT of any division

Khabib stayed in the same weightclass because he wanted to beat everybody, become champ, and become GOAT lightweight. he just did that. if his dad hadn't pass away i think eventually he would've moved up, and he might still move up later when he comes back.

fighting Diaz would've been an utter waste of time for him and would've just prolonged his road to becoming lightweight champ.

Well, whatever the age you seem overly emotional/sensitive and pretty bad at insults and counter arguing.

Conor can't fight at 145 any longer as he relied upon (as did others) IV's to make the weigh, once that option was gone he was FORCED to move up.

The whole three weight class narrative is an utter joke and is only relied upon by trolls.

When Conor "moved up" in weight he got his ass handed to him by Nate, and then won a controversial decision the second time he fought Nate, barely a resounding case for 170 Conor being a success.

Are you going to drag Cowboy out of the closet of Conor excuses? A 155 weight fight held at 170 against a diminished and ever downward spiralling fighter who has a proven history of melting in high profile fights.

Bless your little cotton socks for trying, but D- must do so much better than that.

 

[Dionysian]

Again, has Khabib even done that? Has he even tested the waters at 170?

Conor still has a better record at 170 than Khabib. Oh yea, and he's never pulled out of a fight due to a weight cut like Khabib.

I don't see Khabib volunteering to take on Masvidal.

Conor's record at 170: 2 wins (one by MD) and 1 loss
Khabib's record at 170: 11 wins and 0 losses

Oops...

 

[HHJ]

Makes me think of this old video of Joanna Jedrzejczyk crying and having a breakdown while cutting weight.

And yet she doesnt look any bigger than any other girls in her div.

This is against anything ive been told,which is that only Khabib and some other fighters people dont like are WEIGHT BULLIES who use nefarious,and rarely used weight cutting to be ginormously unfairly bigger than their opponents

 

[TBOCSKO]

Yeah there are definitely benefits to cutting less or not cutting but at the end of the day it's not safe to give up 10-20 lbs against high level comps. Frankie did great despite his disadvantage but he took a lot of punishment because of it and often fell short because of it.

It's a double edged sword. Most lightweights are going into the cage around 175 give or take. Let's say they move up and are a solid 180 at welter. Minimal weight cut. Easily fully hydrated by fight night. You still have to fight the Woodleys and Tills and Usmans who are fucking giants

Woodley and giant in the same sentence...
