[@SergioMendoza760]

As someone who is currently in the middle of cutting weight, I completely and wholeheartedly sympathize with those who have retired because of the scale. I long for the days when I can go to practice, train hard for 2 hours and have tons of fun, and just eat whatever I want afterwards when I get home. I think so few people have genuinely starved themselves the way you have too just to make weight that they don’t understand in the slightest how difficult it is to even get there. It’s so easy to assume fighters walk around at the weight they’re supposed to be before weigh in and that just couldn’t be more inaccurate.

[@appleboss9742]

What sport do you cut weight for

[@moto-fl3rd]

​@@appleboss9742competitive weight cutting.

[@abhishekyogan3358]

Even before watching the video, I'd assume Uncle Chael would say to cut weight.

[@lulospawn]

It's one of those things.

Bring back the woosh at the ending … and there’s more…

The vein on Chael's bicep should have its own KZbin channel.

[@homina4251]

we should get rid of weight cutting and add more rules or precautions fax chael

I LOVE you Brother Chael!! Been watching you since you began fighting. You’re IQ is so appreciated. Razor Sharp. I’m so glad you got the Mic!! -jiMbo

[@lvn4x]

There has to be a solution to the weight-cutting problem. As much revenue as the UFC earns, there has to be a scientific (and maybe expensive) way to ensure that fights feature fighters of the same size while removing the incentive to cut weight. I’m sure that since weight classes were invented, there have been tens of thousands of hours spent by qualified people pursuing a better system of classifying fighters by size, only to fail. I just feel like we could finally have the technology to make it where fighters don’t have to cut weight while still giving all competitors a fair fight. And I bring this to you only because of that.

[@kelainefes]

One FC has a better system than the UFC. They still weigh in the fighters, but they do so multiple tiimes in the week leading up to the fight, right up to the fight itself. The weight cannot change much between each weigh in or the fighter misses weight. This prevents massive water cuts as they are not sustainable for that long.

[@lvn4x]

@@kelainefes I’ve thought about something like that. Seems like it could cause several fight cancellations (or situations where the fight happens but one fighter only stands to lose) in the beginning, but once all of the fighters realize that they can’t game the system, missing weight wouldn’t be any more common than it is now. And the dreaded big weight cut would be a thing of the past.

[@Professor_Pink]

Easy, you have the random drug testers weigh the fighters. Fighter have to be at, say, 10% of their division weight throughout the year.

[@kelainefes]

@@lvn4x It's already implemented and working in One FC. Fighters at that level are not so stupid to try and cheat that system, they know it will just hurt their health AND their performance, there is no point.

[@kiddracuIa]

[@gleasonsgym]

Boxing isn't about being the best, it's about becoming the best version of yourself. 💪

[@AREALAMERICAN]

That's the big problem with everybody. Cutting weight to try to get down another weight class. So then they can rehydrate and be bigger than their opponent. All the time, everybody keeps trying to be a weight bully instead of just fighting in their natural weight class. I bet it is a nightmare trying to beat the scale all the time. When that's not your normal weight

[@maxhammer4067]

There was only 2 options for poor khabib Option 1) 29 - 0 Option 2) tony time 29-1

[@StrykerGSP]

Oh anyone that walks around at or near 200lbs that cuts 40 plus pounds then always finds away to cancel a fight against a real disciplined fighter or refuses move up to only lose 30 lbs surely can make a claim about being the best. Hmmm or can they only make a claim for cowardice? What do you think????

[@joejitsuway960]

I remember stepping off the mat after my last wrestling match after doing it for 12 years and my first was "I'm never stepping on a scale ever again" 😂

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Portland resident here. When are you running for some sort of political office bud? We need ya Chael!

[@littlezero6399]

One punch from Chael will retire any man.

[@StrykerGSP]

Yeah any trans man but not a real natural born man. Hmmm think about that. Learn anatomy. Wake up.

[@megag52]

The weight cuts are nonsense. It doesn't need to be that way anymore

[@ExposingFootballFallacies]

Chael “that’s a real thing” sonnen

[@InvestBetter.]

There are top fighters who never cut more than 5 lbs of weight, and go out there and fight. Adding 20 lbs after weigh-in doesn't necessarily make you a better fighter It makes you heavier, maybe stronger, but also slower. It's not all peaches and creme If your fighting style is based on speed and quickness, you really shouldn't need to cut. Why are you adding 20 lbs to begin with?

[@danetveito4937]

Jump on the scale right before getting in the cage. I'll never understand why not... so everyone moves up some weight classes... why not

[@stumpnugz6530]

Uncle chael!! Paulo Costa suggested the score cards be revealed during the fight for all to see so everyone knows whos winning and how its being scored, he also sighted that all the other sports have the score visible…. Pretty fair point and suggestion. Your thoughts? It would put a lot of “wow that was rigged” talk to bed….

[@moto-fl3rd]

It is done that way in Invicta I believe. Some say it could cause a fighter who is up rounds to just coast and not engage in the later rounds.

[@guwopzy]

3:22 Sounds like Khabib

[@zacharyfranklin2250]

the scale??? 😁

[@stumpnugz6530]

An entire ufc event goes by last weekend and still no review? Wtf uncle

[@AustralianOpalRocks]

Making weight really needs to go. You should have to be at fighting weight 2 weeks out and maintain it. Dehydrating yourself is unnecessary and they could get rid of it if they wanted

[@Mutex50]

If you do cage side weigh ins with no chance to rehydrate and gain back weight, there would be no need for fighters not to fight at their real training weight and the wouldn’t have to go through those horrible cuts.

[@moto-fl3rd]

A weight would still have to be agreed on and not everyone is the same weight. So someone would have to cut lbs.

[@Mutex50]

@@moto-fl3rd You can use the same weight classes as we do now, except add a 225 lb division. If someone isn't in the optimal weight, they can diet to get to appropriate weight instead of dehydrating and rehydrating.

[@fahed2544]

Khabib, Henry, Lawler, they all retire for the same reason. They grew old. At a certain age, a man learns enough to realize that there is no hope for them to have the biggest Biceps in Oregon so long as Chael P walks the streets. How can you blame them

[@Muhammad_The_Goat_Ali]

There are many reasons fighters retire either they want to be with their family or they want to because maby their old and also some of them retire because they believe they did enough in the sport

[@Chuck26814]

Just get rid of weight classes. Fighters fighting whoever whenever wherever should be UFC’s motto

[@Dylan-io5um]

They want to get on the same special supplement cycle uncle chael is on! That’s why most fighters retire

[@Bob9T]

Khabib promised his mum he was done after 29 he's a man of his word especially when it comes to family

[@joor2095]

I know chael change the platform to Netflix and guarantee the most watched fight ever … just have to wait end disney deal

[@Razear]

Khabib definitely didn't retire because he struggled making 155, that's silly. Even if that were the case, why wouldn't he have gone up to compete one last time before retiring to round out a 30-0 record? When he said he stopped fighting because his father passed, it's hard to question his motives knowing Khabib's character.

[@riaddaniels2823]

Next video, why fighters come out of retirement

[@kev30631]

I guess a cash grab. As long as you match fighters within their own ages, I have no problem with it. I would also be very relaxed on the testing.

[@freemanlacroix674]

Chael is back on the juice.

[@michaelgraham8746]

Maybe... And hear me out... Maybe, they don't want to get hit in the face anymore.

[@UltimateCombatSportsNetwork]

KHABIB early retired to be with his MoMa

[@zacksingleton2419]

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

HA Same goes for the Military

[@samdriver3836]

Because it isnt profitable for the majority

[@sp.8632]

Nah, sorry Uncle Chael - khabib was a weight bully and had absolutely no interest in showing some balls and moving up into a more fitting weight class for him.

[@frankl2634]

Hmmm, last time you said guys retire only because the promotion stops calling them. Soooo, you changed your mind?

[@JonSnowsGhost]

Because Chael leaves their bodies broken and their wives pregnant?

[@OlDirtyBaron]

Only Uncle Chael could get a video stretching a simple answer like "because they can't compete anymore" to 10 minutes.

[@glenshort6567]

Khabib downs retire because of weight 😂😂😂

[@getwhatyougive]

Conor wants to party and that is not part of cutting weight.

[@littlejerry4957]

They should all retire once they hit 34. Understandably they will need their money to continue. That's why most never stop. GSP and Khabib the smartest so far. I'm sure there are a few more, but not many.

[@Matt-km3po]

The reason they don’t compete anymore is because they’ve already provided sufficiently for their family. Done.

[@ignotas557]

Cuz they are bums

[@HectorColon-r7s]

Chael is a phony. The worst kind of person.
