[@rivertrash9862]

Weight cutting is the biggest problem in the sport right now. it decreases the value of the product because they're so dehydrated and it increases risk of brain trauma. they really need to work on getting rid of it.

[@dab88]

the solution is not cutting huge amounts of weight so you're the biggest guy in the fight. You get weighed when the fight is arranged and have to be within 10% of the target weight, then regular weigh-ins before the fight to ensure you remain with a certain range. Guys walking around at close to 200lbs then fighting in a 160lb class is a joke. Fighting is not a test of who can cut the most weight the fastest to get an edge while both fighters put their health at risk. It's pathetic and dangerous.

[@infinitemonkey917]

According to your logic 95% of top level MMA fighters are pathetic because most of them cut a shitload of weight. Many welterweights ( 170 lbs ) walk around over 200 lbs. Kevin Lee said he is normally 185 and fights at 155.

[@Docinaplane]

The ability to cut weight has become as important in professional MMA fighting as technique and application.

[@mixalis6168]

Cutting should be banned !!

[@infinitemonkey917]

I agree the extremes they go through are crazy but obviously it works if most fighters do it. At the elite level they need every little edge they can get. Obviously being as large as you can in a given weight division is a huge advantage at that level. If it was counter productive then the majority would not be doing it. Who looks slow ?

[@rich8381]

dab88 I think the best solution is, instead of weigh ins they should have a limit to how low your hydration level is. That will keep it safe and eliminate guys from lowering to many weight classes. Bernard Hopkins always said he had an advantage because, most guys in his weight class were walking around 20-30 pounds heavier where he was almost the same. So these guys cutting so much would be half exhausted getting into the ring. Not to mention the mental exhaustion which might be worse then physical.

[@damvid21]

I would be more inclined to go with these 9 weight classes: 130 lbs - Flyweight 140 lbs - Bantamweight 150 lbs - Featherweight 160 lbs - Lightweight 170 lbs - Welterweight 185 lbs - Middleweight 200 lbs - Light Heavyweight 215 lbs - Cruiserweight 230+lbs - Heavyweight All champs would remain the same, with the exception of making Cormier CW champ instead of LHW. The LHW belt would then be open, perhaps fought for by the 2 highest ranked fighters to move to that weight class.

[@elliottdodson50]

Spidey Sense I like that. Could have Weidman fight at 200 cause he’s huge, or Rockhold, or Gustafson cut down.

[@MrBoykauvball]

The solution should be to tell these guys to stop cutting weight. Make it illegal. ONEFC tells their fighters to to cut very little weight. They also do hydration tests. Therefore, a fighter will only be allowed to weigh-in if he is hydrated. This will be great if the UFC could do it.

[@lastdefenderofxhotl]

You think you can lose 20 pounds of fat in a 2 weeks? No its water you dipshit. If you never wrestled shut the fuck up because you have never cut weight and have no idea what you are talking about. And you would get your ass kicked by any wrestler.

[@rickysnow400]

Bodybuilding and fitness are two different things buddy. The reason you can't get to 4% is because you have a big gut and think that lifting weights and taking supplements will shrink you down to 4%. Well I've been at 4.5% so I guess I am a better body builder than you are.

[@MoneyIsSilver]

I can think of 4 natural 165 pounders off the top of my head: Nate Diaz, Cowboy, RDA, and Condit, in addition to Kevin. That's a solid division right there.

The risk of brain damage for a dehydrated fighter is massive. They should fight at the weight they walk around at, weight cutting is bullshit. They should be made to weigh in every day for a week before the fight. If they can't maintain the same weight in a healthy way then they shouldn't fight.

Called a BIA. Body impedance analysis, measures muscle, bone, water, visceral and subcutaneous fat! Phase angle also, which is the cells ability to conduct electricity, or something like that. Studies have proven that all living things that are getting closer to death, have a lower phase angle.

[@emperorblkfox5956]

And this is why people like Frankie Edgar has been so durable, he walks around no more than 10lbs of whatever weight class he is in at the time. Say what you want about their record but thats why the diaz brothers hardly get finished they stay in shape and around their weight class and not having to cut 30-40 lbs to make weight.

[@varsame]

It comes down to being not dedicated no reason you’re cutting 40+ pounds in 3 months to fight either walk around 10-15 over 155 or move to welterweight

[@williamferguson7202]

This is exactly why fighters should fight at their natural weight. Of course exercise and workout but it’s ignorant to dehydrate yourself for a battle. Remember when Conor fought at 145? Shredded to the tee but you could physically see he wasn’t in good shape health wise. He looked sickening because like Lee said fighters are losing 20 pounds of weight just from water cut. Completely throwing off your natural cycle. I’m 6’2 and 160. And I’d feel the most comfortable fighting at this size.

[@EvanderTrolyfield]

william ferguson It sounds like you would look like Conor lol. 6’2” 160 is skinny as hell.

Warunner Gaming So everytgi bff over 200 is heavyweight? I'm fucking 200 lbs before I cut weight to 185 and I'm 6' and I get rolled up by bigger stronger stronger guys that can actually fight at 170, and I only wrestle/BJJ. There needs to be a 200-225 for light heavyweight

[@jesserodriguez4593]

Fuck no

[@brotherg4609]

Only 2 more divisions are needed imo. 200-225 div and 165 div. Same day weigh ins would also stop people from going down in weight too much

[@480-c4l]

Northern Lightzz same day weigh-ins wouldn't work. It doesn't give fighters enough time to rehydrate and gain back energy from the weight cut

No way he was 4% body fat at 177. He was probably 7-8% when he weighed in at 157. But what am I bitching about, he's still ridiculously shredded.

[@luciarutz6985]

You shouldn’t be focused on your weight. You should be focused on technique, speed, agility, coordination, stamina, and strength. Cutting weight is called cutting corners to make it easier for someone instead of true training to be the best to your potential. Cut like 10 pounds at the most and no more.

[@rhidiandavies1991]

This might be a stupid question - but instead of having these complicated systems where you need to be within 10% of your every-day weight or have hydration tests, why not just have a second weigh-in just before the fight starts? When I've competed in weightlifting or judo, I've been weighed maybe 3-4 hours before competing, so dehydrating and starving myself would be pointless because I'd be so depleted that I'd do shit anyway. Wouldn't that work for mma? Just have them weigh-in when they arrive at the venue.

The UFC and Dana would probably prefer fighters to cut weight because they will look more lean, aesthetic and "athletically credible looking" which would attract a generic fan. Plus the weight cut probably makes them more aggressive, primal and susceptible to getting ko'd which is what the UFC would want.

[@precooked-bacon]

Most fighters prefer the early morning weigh in. Reason being is that they go to sleep the night before....they wake up and then do the weigh in and its done. They then have the entire day to re hydrate. If fighters don't like the early weigh in then they are fighting in the wrong weight division.

[@pgreenx]

I want to see him on the announcers desk someday; very good

[@nickardecky7404]

They need to increase the amount of weight ranges. Then for weigh ins you need to make weight multiple times leading up to the fight. The UFC controls all aspects of everything anyways, then know the general walking weights of all these guys on any given day. Test them 1 month out, two weeks out, 1 week out. Then weigh in the day of to get a sanity check, although the body could differ 4-8 pds from food and water they need to be within a percentage. This way the only weight cutting someone can do is 5-10 pds. Not 20-30+ pds. Make the weigh ins so rigorous that it wont benefit a fighter to drop massive weight because the multiple dehydrations will set them back in training and the testing will force them into a comfortable weight. Anyone whos a fighter got ideas what would work to stop this?

[@James-uk4xi]

Looking at BJJ competitions where weigh-in is the same day, there is just no benefit to cutting weight because you can't replenish in time for the event and you perform worse.
