He's working with the GOAT nutritionist in Tyler "Melee" Minton, the same guy who worked with DC his last camp.
I'm pretty sure the guy has never had a fighter miss weight/have a difficult cut and he is praised by a lot of UFC athletes like Rockhold, Holloway, Alvarez etc
Weight will be no issue for The Eagle
Man I'm fucking pumped for Khabib vs Barboza. Vicious grappler vs vicious striker.
Both have a knack for neutralizing and brutalizing, will be fucking sick.
Khabib via constant pressure and keeping Barboza on the back foot or on his back. Edson will make Khabib work and struggle for this W though.
This is tailor made for Khabib.
Barboza got out grappled by Michael Johnson who lost 4 straight and left the division.
Exactly30 in 2 weeks isn't crazy
I find it hard to believe that Khabib weighs in at 155, & then he puts on 30 lbs by the next day.
Pre-USADA with the IV usage might make that more realistic... but putting on 30 lbs of water weight & food in the belly in one day?
Exactly - like how everyone in Conor's camp said he weighed 174 when he fought Aldo, yet he weighed a max 168 vs Diaz, even after he gained a lot of muscle and weight. Fighters lie about weight and stats. Es normal.I find it hard to believe that Khabib weighs in at 155, & then he puts on 30 lbs by the next day.

Agree, i would love to see Khabib against someonewho can grapple,
like Eddie or Lee.
Great AV, btw
I do that every time i go to Golden Corral.
Well said... major let down that fight was cancelled.When a fighter can make the weight then I have no problem with them making big cuts. If you can put yourself through that hell to gain an advantage then the advantage has been earned.
But when a fighter is missing weight, endangering their health and fucking up fights that the fans desperately want to see then there is an issue that obviously needs to be resolved one way or the other. Either Khabib has got his shit together now or he hasn't. We are about to find out very shortly.
And as someone else has already mentioned, I would also like to see Khabib come in at championship weight vs Barboza just to prove that he can.
War Eagle
Everyone who misses weight should be forced to move to MW. Like a one-size fits all punishment.If he misses weight again, or pulls out with some 'mystery illness' at the last minute, then he should be forced to move up to WW.
