Bro used to cut FORTY SIX POUNDS? I hope one day they just start using the hydration tests like ONE and have people fight in their natural weight class.

[@lukemurray4950]

Yeah that is ridiculous.

[@samblack5313]

I agree with this 100% fighting at walk around weight is safer for the fighters and makes for better fights. They would need to add a couple weight classes, but the full reset is the reason it won’t happen. They would have to vacate every single belt.

[@SpiritShinobi]

But one doesn't have USADA. That's a turn off. Fights are so much better when it's just skill and no roided fighters just standing and banging.

After his performance it just makes you wonder why he didn't just go to middleweight in the first place. He's obviously more powerful and has an easier weight cut. Then come to find out he cuts 45lbs? No wonder his ass didn't make weight last time at welterweight and it's a surprise he was able to those other times.
