So.. Valentina Shevchenko does not cut any weight

[cevo]

She was much smaller than Holly who is a 135'er so 125 would probably be perfect for Valentina if they add that division.

Of course she doesn't. She's very small. She used to fight Joanna on muay thai.

On the top of my mind, Anderson and Henderson didn't have to cut anything at 205lbs.

 

[Deleted member 196663]

She doesn't really have a choice. There wasn't a 125 division.

lol

 

[Deleted member 196663]

She'd be on her 5th title defense if there was a 125 pound division.

 

[TobikanJudan94]

I don't think this is true, Cody said he walks around at 147 and if Gastelum doesn't cut to make 185, why couldn't he make 170?

Cause he is a fat and unprofessional guy? He came in at 180 against Woodley....you think he could cut only 5 lbs? Lol.

So Frankie not cutting weight at LW means LW sucked?

UFC didn't have divisions for the little guys yet.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

There is WMMA

And there is Valentina Bullet Shevchenko and Joanna "Champion" Jercjkenjechedik.

Yeah I'd throw Cyborg in there too. I don't really like wmma but whenever any of these 3 fight I watch it.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Kelvin himself said he cuts 0 weight to make 185lbs, he said this in multiple interviews recently and it's pretty obvious, dude isn't that big. Cody also said he doesn't really cut weight and could make 125lbs easy.

Kelvin is huge, his fram os much larger than Hendricks'. There's no way he doesn't cut any weight.

It's a little known fact, a lot fighters cut no weight. Kelvin Gastelum doesn't to make 185, Cody Garbrandt doesn't to make 135. A lot of guys eh.

I do not want to be rude but this is simply inaccurate. Cody and Kelvin both cut weight and both have discussed it many times.

Kelvin: "Outside of camp, I blow up too much. I go 40 to 50 pounds above my weight class”

Cody: "I walk around at 146 lbs"

Yes he does. Didn't he say he walks around at 147 (which I don't even believe). Also Kevin Gastelum is the same height as me and naturally bigger. Plus if he was 170 should be easy for him to make

So so many misogynists, so little time. -_-

 

[czitos188]

she bulked up a little bit to 143 lbs. Val is thick as fu... Amanda will enter octagon around 153 lbs

 

[nintey]

She looked tiny compared to Nunes when they faced off after she beat Pena so I'm nor surprised.

 

[xMaxPower]

she bulked up a little bit to 143 lbs. Val is thick as fu... Amanda will enter octagon around 153 lbs

how do you know these precise numbers?
Just estimating?

 

[xMaxPower]

Cody says he walks around 147lbs but thats not even in fight shape, by the end of camp simply training 2x a day and being on a nutritionist's diet you can get down to 135lbs without cutting any weight or simply skipping a meal the night before.

Also you really think Lightweights are cutting 35lbs of water in a week in the UFC? You think 194lb Khabib is entering the Octagon that heavy? Sage Northcutt walks around 184lbs and he's easily the biggest Lightweight I've ever seen..he also is ripped year round. If Tony Ferguson or Khabib are 195lbs, they are out of shape buddy. A lot of fighters get up to 15+% body fat inbetween fights and then some stay around that 8-10% year round. Like I said, Michael Phelps is 194lbs he's 6'4 with a 80in reach, he's every bit as muscular as Tony Ferguson too...Phelps just stays in elite condition, he doesn't cut weight. Luke Rockhold walks around 198-208lbs, one of the biggest Middlweights....but he stays in shape, Weidman balloons up to 220 and even admits himself he gets fat at that weight. You need to learn how to discern these things.

lol all fighters lie about their weight. For some reason its like taboo for fighters to reveal their real weight.

So Frankie not cutting weight at LW means LW sucked?

I think he means the "W" part sucks, not the weight cutting part...

 

[czitos188]

how do you know these precise numbers?
Just estimating?

Claudia Gadelha walks around 135lbs. She's shorter, less reach, less thick. There was some interviev with one of the local gym coaches. He said something like:
"When Valetina came to our gym she weight 143 lbs"
Also Valetina mentioned in embedded that she needs to be careful to not loose the weight so i assume she is over 140lbs and avoid a lot of running.

 

[BjPenn2017]

wouldnt say a lot

kelvin still cuts weight. Cody cuts weight. Not sure where your getting this shit from.

Only people that dont cut weight are machida at 205 and frankie at 155. Maybe there are a couple more.
Point is... there are VERY FEW who cut weight and they deserve P4P recognition. Shev is going to win the 135 strap, and the 125 strap even easier.

I honestly don't believe Frankie cuts any weight to make 45, could be wrong but I swear I read somewhere he was able to get his diet to the point where he doesn't need too, and if he does its minimal like a couple pounds. Dude could make 35 no problem I think.
