It's almost as if he's in two places at once...

Wow...I have never seen this before. After googling, I actually had a fleeting sense of empathy for CM. Why would someone feel the need to copy someone that blatantly?

Does anyone know if the IV ban goes into effect immediately? I don't see how they can just change it overnight and expect the fighters to do the same. Unless it just isn't regulated and guys are doing it in their rooms, I don't see how McGregor can lose the weight and stand a chance on fight night.

Well conor said mendes is a b-level fighter and would dispose of him in short time...he has made weight before so this won't be a problem with him. Last thing he wants is to piss the UFC brass who are already pissed with the Aldo situation...I will reserve judgement until Saturday.

Three out of thousands and thousands of wrestlers. It's a very real risk, but the odds of it actually killing you are very small. You're more likely to die in a car accident driving to the event than you are from the weight cut.

Nobody asks us to reduce the maximum speed of automobiles to 20 mph even though that would save thousands of lives per year.

I didn't post because of the infrequent deaths mentioned, I was responding to a challenge relating to the long term health damage due to excessive weight cutting.
(wherein I was accused of "assuming" there were health issues)
But I always appreciate the use of analogies to prove a point.

55 saves lives! or so says the bumper sticker of the left lane vigilante.

Conor is a hungry fighter on top of the world, he will make weight and perform as usual.

No bullshit excuses. Champs dont make excuses.

"More than 75 percent of youth wrestlers have practiced dehydration for weight loss as a competitive practice, according to Vanderbilt University. Although losing a little water weight is part of the natural cycle of your body, severe dehydration can cause lasting damage to your kidneys and heart. As the 1997 deaths of three college wrestlers from dehydration weight loss proved, it can even be fatal -- which is perhaps the longest-term effect of all."

so, basically nothing and 3 deaths that its probably due to using bad methods

Does he use IVs?

Does he use IVs?

I bet he does. What happens after the ban is what I wanna know

5 days left and he already looks drained
way to go connor

would put some money on mendes dude gona fuck him over in 5 rounder

I doubt very much that Conor will miss weight. As much as Conor talks shit and all the guy is a professional, he does all the media, all the travelling around and promotion even in the late stages of a training camp for the (interim) title. No whining about all the required commitments, he get's shit done. He'll make the weight.

It's not always about will and professionalism, sometimes your body just shuts down.

Yeah that's true...hopefully that doesn't happen. That would SUCK if we lost this fight too.

He can probably naturally slim down another 5lbs just by dieting, and dehydrate the rest a few days before the fight. It's still an extreme weight cut, but let's not fool ourselves, that is very much the norm at the top of any division that isn't heavyweight.

Jones is "huge" and he only cuts 15-20LBs. By % its a pretty huge cut for Conor

 

[613]

He walks around at 172 and probably makes his cut from 165ish.

He was 172LB ten days before the fight. Whats he going to lose 7LB of fat in 3 days? Because your cut starts a week before the fight

 

[MaveDeltzer]

This. Ronda cut 13 lbs in one day and beat Miesha in that rock climbing challenge on TUF the next morning. Weidman was able to cut 30lb in a week and still fight.

She cut 17 in a day but who's counting.

[randomalias]

The amount is pretty extreme, but isn't the major worry that right now he looks like he's already cutting water weight? Isn't it way too early to do that?

 

[UL]

Who cares...

It's his own choice to fight at that weight, all the pain and crap you go through is your own fault, if you don't enjoy it then move up a division

I usually don't give a crap about all the weight cutting threads, as long as you can make the weight then who cares, but if it is a extreme weight cut, well he only has himself to blame.

not sure why so many people cry about it though
