They should make weight as an average of measurements over time.
They need to just make weigh-ins the same day as the fight
@@ChodyRay yeah but dudes would be doing dangerous cutting just the same.
@@tubebobwilmaybe but then the question would be if the benefit on weighting extra is bigger then the draw back of cutting which its probably not
@@tubebobwilbingo
How long before we hear about a ufc fighter cardiac arrest on day of fight
Yes! I had the same idea the other day 😂
Heres how he did it. He has a lot of muscle instead of fat tissue. Muscle is 70% water, so the more muscle you have the more weight you can cut. Thats why its possible for chandler to make 155
That's interesting. I didn't know that. I knew most of the weight was water loss but I didn't know the specifics on how it was possible to lose so much
Chandlers like 4’11 bro he could make 135 if he wanted
@@user-nf8ls5ci6h he's 5'8
Yup 5,7 155 i wrestled at 126. Was shit but I did well.
Wow dude thanks. I knew it was about water but not that specifically. Great to know!
Only a ufc fighter would say “I dunno , almost died” so casually
They don’t care about death. Death is their friend. They face death every time they enter octagon
He’s just being soft. All it takes is exercise and not eating
@@TheBellCurve_lose 30 pounds in a week and bro says its not hard lmao
@@ajtims3534 it’s not
@@TheBellCurve_you’ve got to be joking
They need to add a 165 and 195 pound weight class.
Adding more weight classes just encourages more cutting. Fighters will always try to drop down to the previous weight class.
The only thing that stops them from cutting is having weigh ins 2min before the fights
They need to implement One championships weight cut rules. Boom fixed.
people still get around the one testing
Ones weight cutting rules suck
Every champ would get stripped so they can’t
That’s a sham. You can tell bc they make fighters walk with piss cups to the weigh ins like it’s a flex
MMAOnPoint has a great video showing how people get around it, it's not that simple unfortunately.
To this day I don’t understand why they don’t just weight on fight day and add tolerances
@levi2271 I think what they mean is weighing in on fight day would stop fighters being able to rehydrate and gain an extra 15lbs before the fight. Would stop people like Khabib/Conor from being weight bullies
Bro really sneaked Connor there bro you should know he's not a big lightweight@@CBarrow10
It’s simple, cause people would still cut weight… then they would be taking head damage while their brain was dehydrated (way more dangerous)
And before you say “do hydration test the day of”
Mma on point already did a story on this, I suggest checking it out, where that had the president of one fc and had an expert explain how 99 percent of fighters are busting the system… and sadly still cutting weight, and it’s extremely simple
@@thegrantula1781 how would you weight cut an hour before the fight ?
@@sircrackboi that a real question? I don’t understand
How he made it is simple - hes a professional. Never missed weight once
5-6 days to lose 31 pounds that’s not simply professional. And your not unprofessional if you weren’t able to make that
I don’t shame fighters who retire before they even get to the UFC because weight cutting is miserable. But to cut that much on short notice is truly a miracle. I wish I could’ve seen it just for research purposes.
great video bro! the editing was engaging and smooth
He cut almost 30lbs in 1 week, thats well over 12kg in 1 week. I n s a n e
He cut 31 pounds in 6 days 176 to 145
They should use the hydration system where they check your hydration.
As a high schooler I weighed 140 and was cutting to 120 while trying to be a growing boy, 3 inches shorter than the rest of my male family members
Dustin making 145 was crazy, Conor making 145 was pretty wild too
Just like Usman with his knees, Rogan is sometimes a real pain when it comes to making people believe crazy things about fighters, Poirier is speaking about earliers days, now at 155 he is far from being a weight bully
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn what Saint-Denis was heavier when they fought
BSD looked huge compared to Dustin
I thought the same
I respect Dustin a lot he is a true legend even if he had never won a world chap till he is a true champ 4 me.
Weight in right before the fight!
I dont know I almost died Poirier is a Savage 31 pound cut is lit
I think a cap on lbs cut per duration of time is how they mitigate weight-cut health issues
The diamond Mentality fail till you make it
They really need to change this. Cutting 30lbs is definitely going to be a detrimental to your physical condition during the fights, that's ignoring the long term health effects of doing this regularly. Besides, the result is that you're not fighting at your actual weight AND if everyone's doing it what are you actually achieving?
Tyson never cut weight and fought guys 50 pounds heavier.
😢That head kick from justin gaethje at the end come on
Weight cutting is brutal and hard on the body. Used to have to do it playing provincial football allotting several overage players". Cutting 15-20lbs in a 2 weeks notice and running with a garbage bag on your body everyday. Weigh in day you were basically a raisin and sent home by a doctor after making weight to hydrate and eat.
Islam gets the most hate for cutting weight when he hasn't even missed weight 😅
Guys when i get in the ufc im not gonna cut any weight Imma fight in my natural weight class
Good luck getting into the ufc while fighting opponebts that are 20 pounds heavier than you.. 🤦♂️
I remember seeing a video of Dustin weighing 187 after Christmas dinner. Ceasy
There should be a max 15lbs weight cut
He said aksed hahahaha
Can't feel bad.
That shit of make weight one day before the fight sucks , the fighters need to fight in their normal weight , not cut a lot of and almost died in the process ...
And they call Khabib a weight bully lol
31 pounds is tough to believe he must lost alot of muscle. something off with this story
You have to. Weight loss lives off of this one term, calories in calories out. He had to have been burning hundreds to a thousand a day at the sacrifice of losing muscle mass
Not a lot at all certainly some but you can’t lose significant muscle mass that fast. And what’s off about it? Don’t comment stupid things
Tf are u talking about calories. Yall are so out of touch. Its water, hes losing water weight. Out on a trash bag and run youll lose 8lbs of sweat in 45 minutes
This was back when they have IVs
I don't think people understand that he obviously was fluctuating wildly. He'd be bloated and have a higher body fat %
I would have been incredible.
When he does it is okay. But when khabib does it is referred as weight bullying.
Dustin is called a weight bully too??
everyone is a weight bully.. but some more than others.. like khabib is a natural 200lb+
It’s easier to cut that much weight when you’re on an EPO diet. Khabib is a roid cheat
@@pillowmmano way he was 185 at most naw yeah 200+
@@Habibivechsaid it himself
They axed his weight?
Lol khabib told a reporter that before his first ufc fight he was 92kg. Which is like 200 lbs maybe more
Source?
No way he would weight 92kg during his early UFC career.
Yeah the same Khabib who missed weight before and was known to get fat as fuck in-between fight camps couldn't possibly be 200 lbs, right?
@@TheOtherWaytoSobriety He's never fat as fxck in his fighting days. Show me the picture, he's fat now cause he's retired. Charles has missed weight two times and I don't see you called him weigh bully lol
@@TheOtherWaytoSobriety everybody cuts weight. what's your point? you said khabib was 92kg before his FIRST ufc fight , do you have any source? no right? You are just making shit up. talking about weight, Dustin, Justin etc they all are huge lightweights because weight cutting is part of the game, if you don't do it you are at a huge disadvantage. The so called "featherweight" Volk weighed HEAVIER than Islam at the fight night in their first fight in Australia, and he had to cut 25+lb to fight a weight class UP in their second fight. And you have the audacity to pinpoint one individual. 🤦♂. Im still waiting for the source that he was 92kg.
My boy cub beat him
Thats stupid af... just fight at 155. Thats why i like Colby cuz he takes care of his health and he is not a weight bully.
Well yeah that's why Dustin is a 155er now instead of a 145er and has been for almost 10 years now lol
Almost die
Aljo somehow cuts to BW at 175 gotta be taking years off his life
Almost died 🤓
And khabib is the weight bully lol
Boop 😂
Idk I almost😂
This is how khabib cut weight for every fight he had.
Killed himself to fight smaller guys.
He was big but not really at lightweight he’s not like gamrot or Islam yeah people forget that gamrot is big as Islam yeah once a featherweight but look at him vs beniel he looked hugged
Only reason Conor won that fight.
Weigh ins before the fight. stop the Clownshow.
Yeah and he made weight. The next one is ceremonial after they've rehydrated.
Weight cuts are stupid. Fight in your weight class. Stop trying to ffkn cheat.
Bro needs to fight at 170 to be honest with his actual skill
That’s a casual comment. Diamond cannot hang with Alex P. Izzy ddp Robert or even d Shawn These guys walk around well over 200 and cut to 170
@@williamdebault2524 You said his comment was casual but you mentioned all the 185 guys, he was talking about 170 lmao
@@williamdebault2524none of the guys you mentioned are 170 they are at 185
But if a Muslim cuts weight Non Muslims reactions 😡🤬
bruh its with everyone, khabib dustin and anyone doesent matter who is weight bullying its bad
nobody cares muslim or not you make it about that
@@dhruvyamdagni5858 hindu brother Khabib is the guy gets the most hate for that
sorry to hear that , btw im a fan of his@@like2jo4796
and expect it naturally when someone is parised so much for their work theyll recieve extra amount of criticism from other poeple because of human nature, dont take it seriously @@like2jo4796
Way-ins should be the day of the fight. Otherwise you get monsters fighting guys that are actually a 145 pounds forcing them to go down to a even lower weight. It's ridiculous.
