Melvin Guillard just said he cuts 30 pounds to make weight?

On the prelims they're interviewing Guillard on how he feels about Guillard-Varner being cancelled (I'm starting to think a fight getting cancelled cuz' of last-minute illness is worse than cuz' of an injury) and, while explaining his dissatisfaction with everything-- which is understandable, he essentially just went through the hell of a training camp to fight and he's not gonna get to do that, he mentioned that he cut 30 pounds to make weight.

I'm sure it's not 30 pounds in the Sauna, and it was no surprise that Guillard's one of the biggest LWs, but even so that's a lot more than I thought he cuts... anyone have any more information on this?

 

Probably starts camp at around 185-190 and works down from there

 

I think he means throughout the camp all the way up to the weigh-ins. He probably only cut 15 pounds at the weigh-ins and had dieted down 15 prior.

 

He's not cutting 30 lbs of water weight. That's crazy.

 

I knew there was gonna be a thread about this as soon as he said that.

 

lost weight + cut weight = 30 pounds

 

Training 4 hours a day 5 days a week for weeks = lost weight.

I dont know how many times myself and others have to type this for 80% of the site who still dont get it to finally understand.

 

people thinking he means he weighs 185 a day before the weigh ins :redface:

 

Melvin looks huge. He has short arms. Jamie looks thinner then he did back in the WEC days to me.

 

Apparently Varner didn't get the memo on how to cut properly.
