See how an MMA fighter cuts weight

Footage of George "The Silencer" Sullivan, a professional mixed-martial arts fighter from Brick Township taking a bath in scalding hot water laced with epsom salt and Isopropyl rubbing alcohol to cut weight before his August MMA fight against Philadelphia brawler Jesus Martinez in Atlantic City. (Video by Andrew Mills / The Star-Ledger)

[@administratorcontrol346]

The card was used to scrape of salt crystals that form on his body...I will explain...they get epsom salts & dry them really well in the oven now really dry salts absorbe water or moisture so the salts draw fluid water from his body...they use isopropyl alcohol because it have a much lighter weight than water or sweat & it evaporates cleanly & quickly...So he baths in salt+alcohol & his body or skin soaks it up...Then he wears a full rubber body suit & lays down making him sweat...As he sweats the salt+alcohol draws fluid water from his body & dries to form sweaty salt crystals on his skin that contain fluid drawn from his body...The end result is a reduction in body weight...I hope this makes sense to explain this video

[@jaydencotto-martinez4995]

ADMINISTRATOR CONTROL if he takes a shower right after does that remove the salt or he has to scrape himself ?

[@administratorcontrol346]

Jayden Cotto it is best to scrape salt crystals off...Because if he has another shower his body will just soak/absorbe more water & add weight again to him...That is why they scrape & not rinse in shower...Hope this helps answer your question...Thanks for commenting take care...

[@koi2945]

indeed

[@ulisescortaza3143]

Pamela When fighters cut weight, they get weak because they don't eat, drink water and they are busting their butt to make weight. So if they perform right after the weigh in, they are going to be weak or probably won't be even able to stay on their feet. Actually some fighters feel week the next day due the weigh cut even though they already ate and rehydrated.

[@DDaltonn]

Yeah so it will force people to fight in the right weight class.. aka why the Olympics does it.

[@mattbruuns8106]

Nah people would still try to cut and then you'd have the more serious issue of them fighting while dehydrated, which has resulted in deaths even with weigh ins a day before. Also, if weigh ins are same day there's no way to lose a bit of weight if you're over, meaning more fights would be cancelled last minute and when people are paying to watch, you can't afford that

For everyone who is curious what the point of losing weight is, it’s too have as much muscle mass as possible and be as light as possible. In wrestling (my home sport) I have to cut from 140 to 120, this puts me at an advantage over my opponents as most of them don’t lose that much and are weaker than me.

Emma Right, but sweating off too much in one sitting starts to pull water from all your organs, including the vital ones such as the liver and most important your brain, which lessens the amount of cerebral spinal fluid that actually cushions your brain from the impact of hitting the inner walls of the skull, it takes up to 72 hours to replenish that fluid in order for your body to function at full capacity and be able to take a hit, basically cutting this much water weight is what leads to all those vicious flash knockouts that cause guys to go completely stiff when they are hit by what seems to be even light shots or to crumple in pain from shots to the body, it severely damaged performance.

A lot of mma companies have gone away with IV fluid rehydration, and so ppl aren't able to hydrate their bodies as effectively before. There have been too many times where fighters look starved to the point of passing out, and going into shock (leading to seizures etc). My suggestion (especially in the ufc) would do the weight ins the day before or as planned but just make the weight classes flexible. For instance : lightweight : (between 155-165), welterweight (170-180), middleweight : (185-195)etc As long as they weigh in within these parameters they should be allowed to fight and not penalized. Everyone is usually bigger than their weight class says, so this in turn, creates easier weight cuts for people.

I am wondering why all these negative comments criticizing everything?

[@bhunterbmw335is2]

reminds me of opiod withdrawal for some reason... except cutting weight is nothing in comparison

[@klewskates123]

lol so true

[@samuelstalcup]

There's no Kratom for cutting weight

[@Unyt]

I'm watching. A man. Wiggle in. A bath.

[@cole240]

Every single person in the comments never cut a single pound out of their unathletic body

[@lmoe4712]

Mans not hot?

[@8hunnit40third2]

[@ninjacowkiller504]

[@jperales423]

NinjaCowKiller just stop...

[@wendylimith6619]

Never hot, lmaooo

[@notimportant3686]

this is why i gave up cutting weight after freshman year... what's the point?... yeah i'm in lower weight class but i'm also weaker because of all the strength i sapped being dehydrated... i just always wrestled whatever was the next weight class up from whatever weight i walked around at... if i weighed 156 i wrestled 160, when i weighed 165 i wrestled 171, etc....didn't matter that i was up against a guy whose regular weight was 10-20 lbs more than mine, i never felt that it was detrimental during the contest

[@killingyouwithlogic5808]

I also stopped fighting at 205 - 210 depending on org and started bulking and fought heavy weight I was way stronger at 230 lbs trhen I was at 205 or 210

[@chrisgomez5393]

One time I had to lose 1.4 pounds in 1 hour to make weight so my coach gave me a jolly rancher I had to suck on it (pause) nd keep spitting my saliva I made weight by spitting out saliva lol

[@andreavargas4098]

Yall mind if i or gum

[@meelo4597]

I'm just curious what extreme thermal shock to the body has to do with losing weight

[@gardawg3696]

Come on KZbin I already watched this video quit recommending it to me!

[@brandonsmith666]

[@deadpool467]

MMA Weight Classes Should Be ✅ Super Heavyweight: 240 - 280 Heavyweight: 220 - 240 Light Heavyweight: 210 - 220 Middleweight: 200 - 210 Welterweight: 190 - 200 Lightweight: 180 - 190 Bantamweight: 170 - 180 Flyweight: 160 - 170 Super flyweight: 150 - 160 Strawweight: 140 - 150 No man should be under 140 involved in a contact sport⚠ & they should do hydration test the week of the fight + weigh in the day of.

[@richardvargas3308]

Sauna is the best way!

[@imfamous6909]

Richard Vargas no its not these techniques work slightly better than sauna

[@normpaul565]

that why you always stay in shape and live at the weight you fight at .it less wear and tear on the body ,

[@luisalmodovar6548]

norm paul does he look outta shape to you ?😂😂

[@normpaul565]

you can be in shape but there also fighting shape

[@samuelgustafsson8391]

norm paul I don't think it's about that though. I think because weight is a big advantage in MMA and the weigh-ins are a few days before the fight, the fighters are actually weighing more then they are at the weigh ins. They just do this so they can quickly gain the weight back and thus have an advantage in the fight.

[@normpaul565]

I know how to cut weight , I was a wrestler in school , but if you live at the weight you fight at it less stress on your body , so when you do have to cut it not as bad

[@pnut84]

Not always true. Just because your the bigger fighter and have a weight advantage doesn't mean you can win the fight. Yes it gives them an advantage but it doesn't pay off all the time.

[@JuniorRegeta]

Was the water cold in the first scene?

[@LavitoBeats]

Wow man this seems so stupid?!

[@sarahrichards9325]

Lavito Beats he is an mma professional fighter, in order to fight you have to be in a weight class, and you have to be within 2 pounds if you opponent I pretty sure, if you not you have to cut weight, which is what you just whitnessed

[@josephkang6166]

yea you know nothing

[@sarahrichards9325]

joseph idk I just go off of what I see when I watch ufc with my dad

[@josephkang6166]

FinisDierum2027 have you ever weigh cut before? I wrestle and I need to cut trust me don’t judge if you never have done this

[@josephkang6166]

FinisDierum2027 because you do realize that people eat after a fight and how do you know maybe he got two weeks notice.

[@darknight9877]

I wish I knew this before I finished the wrestling season 😂. 4+ hours doing cardio and going to the sauna to lose 10 pounds a day before a tournament or meet isn’t fun

[@nickmaille5951]

Factual. I went 3 days without eating, and 1 to 2 days with no water. Well i did have a bottle cap full that i spat out i used it to wet my mouth, it was so dry.
