Not UFC but still... holy crap.
I watched the highlights of that. When he sat down on the stool in the last round and his trainer called the fight off. He went from not looking horrible to looking horrible rather quick.

This is just flat out drivel. Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva we’re both long time champions and both cut 15 plus pounds to make weight. They had hydration strategies post weigh in and especially for Franklin his weight was key in his in ring strategies. And these two didn’t lose a lot by TKO.This should be adopted everywhere. These men (TJ Dillashaw) and women (Aspen Ladd) that are cutting extreme weight seem to always have weaker bodies even the 36+ hours later and lose via TKO.

While I’m all right with reform I think people on this board who have probably never made a weigh in should let the people who sign these fight contracts to fight at X weight work it out with the promotions. Chael Sonnen does a decent video about Aspen Ladd and how there needs to be a discussion, but not something completely knee jerk.
Which can now lead to more brain trauma. The weight cut thing needs to be changed for the safety of the athletes. They are warriors and will do whatever it takes to gain an advantage. Including putting themselves at great risk...beyond getting kicked in the head. Put that in perspective.The two you mentioned were allowed to rehydrate via IV. For some reason they took that option off the table and it's illegal now.

Fighting without allowing enough time for your brain to re-hydrate.IM confused. What can lead to more brain trama?

A lot of these guys are cutting way more than 15 pounds.
Also, those guys weren't pushing their body types to do that.
It'll be Cerrone because he'll be the better payday. Gaethje is good but won't get the PPVs Cowboy will bring in.Either Cerrone or Gaethje and I’ll be buying.

McGregor wants (assuming) Cerrone, then winner of Masvidal/Diaz, then winner of Ferguson/Khabib. If he wins the first two and Khabib beats Ferguson McGregor wants to fight Khabib in Moscow.
That's a wild end to 2019 and 2020 for 155 lbs.
No.Wouldn’t it have been easier to just copy/paste Ariel Helwani, Dainty?
Silva cut from 220 down to 185. That's gross.This is just flat out drivel. Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva we’re both long time champions and both cut 15 plus pounds to make weight.
