30 lbs seems pretty extreme.

Edit- Excluding HW's

depends on proportion to body mass.

Cruz cutting 25 lbs is huge compared to Yoel Romero cutting 25 lbs.
 
Glover said he cut 30 lbs for the Phil Davis fight.
 
isnt woodley like 200
 
Weidman did once against Maia, or it might have been slightly more even.

Edit: I think it was the week of too.

Kevin Lee cut exactly 30lbs for the Ferguson fight. He said he weighed 185lbs on fight night.

Yeah, that is a lot, he's low on fat too so he should really be going to WW, even if 165 opens up, It might improve his chin and cardio too.
 
Non-HWs: Tibau (LW), Woodley (WW), Weidman (MW), Rockhold (MW), DC (LHW), Rumble (WW-Rumbleweight), Hendricks (WW- Openweight)
 
I think a bunch of them did back in the days of IVs and less strict drug testing.
 
No. Basically a max limit unless want irreversible body damage or die. Only huge Superheavy weights and HW could do it more easily. Smaller guys it be too much of they mass. Brock lesnar was a 20lb-25lb water weight cuter.

That is a huge rehydration.

But cage weight isn't always walk around weight.
