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

[Söze Aldo]

They aren't the same though. If Moicano was in better shape, he wouldn't be anywhere near 180. More like 170 at best.

And most of Islam's weight is functional muscle.

 

[TheMoa]

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

Only in California... that's a pretty good state law.

american sherdoggos should find a problem with it though, something about libtards or something else

Exactly, I've made that joke sarcastically with Jamahal Hill being a huge LHW because he weighs a good amount, but he's just skinny fat.

An extreme example would be calling some 300 lb fat lady bigger than Ngannou, Ubereem, or Brock.

If Jiri wanted to be a "big LHW" he could start eating more pizza and easily put on 10 lbs in a week.

Jan's is in his 40s now, I don't see him as a threat for any of the top guys. Ankalaev spends most of his fights doing basic level kickboxing, still haven't seen proof of this mythical grappler who somehow has literally 0 subs on his record. We'll see when he fights Alex.

Khamzat would be a bigger threat for Jiri at 185.

Khamzat got boxed up by Gilbert Burns lmao Jiri would end him

 

[Goat Poster]

Honestly thought Islam would be much closer to 185 than he is. I would think sooner or later it would give him problems but seems he does a completely standard weight cut.

Was he smaller than usual? I thought he would make Moicano look a bit smaller like he did Charles, but if anything Moicane seemed bigger.

Could be smarter team preparation to keep him lighter so the cut is less extreme and draining. Khabib would kill himself cutting, probably one of the reasons he wanted to retire when he did.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

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

178 is closer to 180 then 170

That's called flexing

Really comparing skinny fat (comparatively) 180 Moicano to ripped and jacked Islam at 170+, almost 180? Really? lol

really are you a scientist making new formulas again about mass and weight?

wtf bro havent you seen moicano outweighs islam
and you think islam outweighs him still even with evidence

You don't understand anything about body weight. Moicano made 145. Islam would die trying.

Nice try at trying to sound smart though

By the way, at no point did I say 178 was more than 181. You just made that up

you need more oxygen to fuel those muscles
we can debate that muscles can slow you down

so are you telling me that islam bullied moicano?
are you telling me that islam has an advantage even though he weighed less?
are you some scientist?

No, I am not telling you that.

Do you just go through life and conversations with people you disagree with, making up things they never said over and over then acting like you are somehow winning an argument?

you dont know anything
pereira is 238 lbs shredded cutting to MW
jones at 230. lbs looks fat
we all know jones cant cut to MW
this alone makes your opinion look silly

some people are better in cutting weight
i can give you more example with big muscles cutting alot of weight
like rumble

 

[Hdfi]

Jailton: Wait, I thought we were supposed to keep losing weight.

 

[Sean Rhino]

Islam cut 24lbs and Moicano cut 27lbs they're both cutting enormous amounts for LW.

Yeah, because most lightweights probably gain around 25 pounds. All four lightweights on the card did that. It doesn’t make them weight bullies when they’re all like that.

They aren't the same though. If Moicano was in better shape, he wouldn't be anywhere near 180. More like 170 at best.

Based on what, the eye test? We literally have evidence of Moicano coming off a training camp for Dariush, during the best run of his career, weighing almost 4 pounds more than Makhachev. Yet Makhachev is supposedly the one with the weight advantage because "look at his muscles, man."

You don't understand anything about body weight. Moicano made 145. Islam would die trying.

Moicano used to be a featherweight 10 fights ago. He’s bulked up and gained muscle mass. Being a former featherweight doesn’t mean anything if you’ve gained proper muscle mass 6 years later.

 

[El Fernas]

Almeida lost weight? Also, I'm guessing 17% is about the limit for making weight? There's several that hit that cap.

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%.

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

CSAC has been doing this for years, no other state, or specially the UFC, care about this, nothing really changes if a fighter goes over the limit, like more than half the card did, its business as usual for the UFC and other states dont care, they are also the only state where the official fight purse is revealed, but of course the UFC finds a way to pay undisclosed amounts to fighters, only the IRS would know about it.

 

[Harlekin]

California CAN (but won't) cancel a fight, if a fighter regains more than 15%.
I think fighters were adviced to not gain more than ~17%

The CSAC have released the fight day weigh-in results.
- How much time till their fights left? Probably different in hours and more till the main event.
They guys gaining 15-17% probably gained 1-2 more pounds.

Also funny 147 and below = 8oz gloves, 147 and above 10oz.
That is boxing welterweight, the UFC only has 145 and 146 featherweight champion and non champion weight

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.
