Brazilian article: http://sportv.globo.com/site/evento...tml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Basically, saying he gained 14kg (almost 31lb) since the weigh in. Pretty impressive for a MW. Heavier than Machida against Bader.
This is why I roll my eyes when people get so impressed by MWs being able to KO heavyweights. Is it really hard to imagine guys that naturally weigh over 200 pounds can knock out other guys who weigh over 200 pounds? Just because you weigh 250 doesn't mean only other guys who weigh 250 can KO you.
Oh, yeah I forgot. His opponent will still be 185lbs on fight night while Markes will be 216lbs-ish. Glad you bet on a HW fighting a HW.
I don't know man, Craig was getting lit up in his last fight by a guy not known for his striking before the head kick KO
F^ck, how do you even get that 14 kg back in 24 hours? I can't even imagine eating and drinking that much in several days, let alone have a fight after that.
Markes is absolutely huge and really should be at lhw for his healths sake. This fight between him and Craig is very underrated and could easily produce mws newest young contender.
