Looking at how big Paulo Costa was, and always is, people often say he's huge for the weight class which he is but he's certainly not the biggest weight cutter and by weight cut, I'm mean actual water weight cut, not out of shape, spending 6 weeks to drop weight. Just simply the weight cut from the last couple of days to the actual fight night.
Some may say Darren Till but he weighs in around 200lbs according to Till himself and his coaches on fight night, which is a 29-30lb cut but is there is bigger weight cutter than Max Holloway? I don't believe anyone else in history comes close to Max...is there?
PS, against Jose Aldo, Max weighed in on fight night at 178lbs, gaining a whopping 33 lbs, or a 23% weight gain. Costa, for example, gained 15.5% whereas Till gained 18%
