The CSAC have released the fight night weigh-in results for 311

If Islam was as fat as Moicano, he'd weigh 190. Not sure what is so confusing about this

You seem to think these guys have near the same body fat and they aren't even close. Moicano easily could lose like 5 to 10 lbs of fat. Islam cannot.

Your argument relies on assumptions about body fat with no evidence. Fight night weights are the most objective measure we have, and they show Moicano was heavier. Speculating about "if Makhachev was fat" is irrelevant. What matters is actual weight, not hypotheticals.

With no evidence? Lol there's literally video footage of Moicano on Saturday night against Islam.

If makhachev had the excess fat moicano had, he'd be well over 181 lbs. Not sure what you're trying to argue here but you're wrong

Fight night weight is the only measurable evidence we have. Moicano weighed more, period. Guessing about "if Makhachev had more fat" is speculation, not fact. Muscle or fat, the scale doesn't lie.

If Islam got fatter he wouldn't gain weight? Lol what?

That's not speculation sir. Go eat a shit ton of food and see what happens. Moicano could clearly diet and lose some weight. Islam is as dehydrated as possible at 155. Moicano is not.

You're misinterpreting my point. My argument is that speculating Makhachev would be heavier with Moicano's fat is just that, speculation. Fight night weight is fact, and Moicano weighed more. The rest is all guesswork.

Respect to Jiri-san. Barely cuts any weight. He fought at HW before the UFC a few times too.

There is no limit where they would cancel a fight, afaik, all this does is allegedly limit their chances of fighting in California again, unless they get some "wrist slap" by CSAC, not a big deal, the limit i believe its like 10%

I forgot there might be a max allowance but I was moreso thinking in terms of the bodies limit to what they can manage without almost dying or not making weight.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Moicano weighed 180 and Islam weighed 170 but I thought Islam was a weight bully?

181 and 178. Let's not be stupid.

Other AC´s have canceled fights when fighters look like they are about to die on the scale, even when some do make weight, a lot of fighters went over 15% of their weight, that would hurt their chances to fight again in California, but their fights went on as planned, current MMA is a bit extreme on the weight cutting, RDR fought at 205lbs in his last 2 fights before the UFC, before that he fought at HW (265 limit) but he isnt that heavy, but went from fighting at 205lbs to fighting at 185lbs with a big weight cut.

It's about time this info is released officially. I've been wanting this for years. hopefully this becomes a regular thing no matter what state the fights happen in

The California Athletic Commission has been doing this for at least 6 years now.

Did not know that. First time I've seen it

Prochazka’s in cage weight was only 3 lbs above the LHW title fight limit, interesting how the hyperbolic twins pointed direction during the actual fight.

Anik: “Jiri thought about dropping to middleweight, but decided to recommit himself to LHW and seems to have made improvements”.

Joe “Jiri looks very muscular tonight, it appears he’s bulked up a bit”.

lol and people still say Islam is a weight bully

 

[surgeyou1]

Jiri really a MW

 

[El Fernas]

Looks like the CSAC in theory has guidelines to potentially cancel a fight if a fighter gains more than 15%, a few fighters went over that number, no fight was or has been canceled because of this (afaik).

If a fighter gained more than 10 percent back before the bout, the commission then could make a recommendation that he or she move to a higher weight class. If a fighter gained more than 15 percent, the commission had plans in place to potentially cancel fights.

Millions in the bank and he still lives like this We are spoiled to have him
