I don't understand why everyone got so crazy about Hunt needing to drop 19 pounds in one day. This isn't Renan Barao dropping 19 pounds in one day for crying out loud. Hunt loses weight just as easily as he gains weight.

So was he really at 340 before camp or was that bs too?

 

[alexthekidd]

Agreed - spoke with Mark before he headed off and he was very relaxed about his weight. A lot of misinformation in the media - particularly MSM here in NZ. Easy headline to peddle, which while technically true, doesn't reflect the reality of the situation.

He told me that on camera:

Think we got troll'd or it was just straight clickbait/fake journalism

He says he opened camp at 153 kg

He said 153? He means kilograms. Sorry about that. Just caught it.

No worries - I posted the original thread on my phone and did the conversion in my head so it was off by 2.5lbs but 337.5 - 340lbs. Much of a muchness.

I forget the rest of the world uses a different weight measurement

They're saying the same thing on Stuff

 

[chaos_36]

Fuck is he thinking being 33kgs (73lbs) over the max? You just times kgs by 2.2 if you're still on the imperial measurements by the way.

 

[FatMoiMoi]

Off topic but I hope all you kiwis are voting tomorrow!

 

[ithinktheymad]

Just goes to show ignorant people are on this forum. I wouldn't be shocked if he dropped the weight in an hour or two.

Both Mark and Roy are such beasts. Can't wait for this fight!
