Ceremonial Weigh In

 

[Luthien]

@Jackonfire
Thank you
This should be good

 

[MarloStanfield]

How long in normal time until this is on? I keep missing it because I don’t get their time

 

[MarloStanfield]

Hello from Deception island

 

[Peli]

weigh ins are live right now.




Ceremonial at 10am EST

 

[Peli]

Conor first to the scale. 155

 

[Castiglione]

McGregor was the first one and he made the championship weight, 155, just in case.

 

[Peli]

Dustin 156. Fight is on.

If conor lose, I don't want to hear him bitch about that 1 pound.

 

[Castiglione]

Dustin, 156. If the UFC decides to put the belt on the line for this fight, only Conor will be eligible to get it.

I think Dustin had a very tough cut and yesterday's press conference did show its effects on him. Otherwise he would definetely make 155 also, considering the Khabib situation which is in limbo.

they weren't going to make it for the belt, dana was clear on that. Conor just did it to try to upstage khabib.

I guarantee he will measure he made the weight unlike scale gate or something like that.

 

[Peli]

Hooker weighs at 156

 

[Peli]

Conor was the only one that made championship weight out of the comain and main.

All other weighed 156.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Dustin, 156. If the UFC decides to put the belt on the line for this fight, only Conor will be eligible to get it

Dana has never made a last-minute change to make a fight for a title.

 

[Castiglione]

Conor and Dustin both weighed in as soon as possible.

With the rather odd timing of the event, they are going to have at least 42 hours to rehydrate and perhaps even put on some mass, especially for Conor. I think he didn't cut much this time. He's going to rehydrate fully and add some fat on top of it. Say if he was at 5% body-fat at the weigh-in he'll be at 7% body fat in the cage.

Dustin looked drained and not well. I think he cut a lot of water weight. 20 pounds at least. Still, he's going to fully rehydrate.

Did Dustin have tears in his eyes during his weigh-in or is it just me?

he looked drained




just glassy eyes

 

[Castiglione]

A bit teary. Probably opening his eyes hurt a lot. Dustin cut a lot of weight. Perhaps his most. He possibly wanted to be as big as possible trying to withstand McGregor's punching power. He also knew there would be a lot of time to rehydrate.

Conor looked like how he looked like in the Eddie Alvarez weigh-in. Good. He looked drained as hell in the Floyd and Khabib weigh-ins.

 

[SharpasaRazor]

I think they both looked pretty drained, they’ll both be big lads in there tomorrow.

Championship weight is a lot of bollocks to me, weight is weight, you make the one you need to for the fight to happen.

Their different body types are interesting. Conor has such enormous lats, which probably accounts for some of the powrr he generates but also perhaps why he gets drained throwing shots. Justin’s back looks tiny in comparison but he has much more of traditional boxer’s body, he has a thick torso and large waist. Conor has has a V-shaped torso into those big lats and pecks, but a pretty small waist. He also doesn’t ever seem to really pop abs which could just be down to natural muscle inserts. Conor’s composition is ideal for generating power but not really for either wrestling or absorbing shots to the body. It would interesting to see someone try ripping shots into his liver if they could ever manage to stand long enough with him.

 

[Jose Beehive]

I mean Max looked like this before Kattar

And look how he performed, unless they are falling over and struggling to move I don't usually put much value into how they look alone in the weigh ins.
