      @@reddevil6585 I personally don’t believe Kayla does or has ever done PEDs. She’s been grappling in Judo since she was a child and won two Olympic gold medals while under the strictest drug testing in the World. Her natural weight is about 160, when she fought in PFL she fought at 155, so she didn’t really have to cut weight. She cut down to 145 for her one fight in Invicta, but this was the most she’s ever done. Nutritionist and the UFC PI are crazy mad scientists and she’s an hard worker, I think she’s just a beast.
      To give you another example, Aljo said he only had to cut 15 pounds on fight week this week while fighting at 145lbs as opposed to the 25lbs he normally had to cut to make 135lbs, so he’s basically in the same boat.

She definitely lifts very very heavy to pack on that kind of size... and achieve that strength ... nd no I don't believe she's on PEDs. Women with gifts can achieve that body without drugs .. nd she's naturally wide on clavicles, big boned, big skeletal framed which gives her a very big advantage in overpowering her opponents ..
