Colby Covington cuts the least amount of weight for any non-HW in the UFC. What an amazing fighter

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Only watched a bit of the vid you posted but Colby says it’s 181, but I assume this is him slimming down on the approach to fight night? So not really his walk around weight.

Dang, Khabib walks around 15 pounds heavier than Colby and Max is the same weight.

Props to Colby. That takes some real courage to fight within a weight class of your natty weight now a days.

I have a hard time believing Colby's walk around weight is 181-183. RDA says he weighs something like 190 and Colby was clearly bigger than RDA when they fought.

Why did you quote me?

Cerrone cuts from 174.

Nurmagomedov was 170 lbs for the Barboza fight and 166 lbs for the McGregor fight.

RDA cuts from 180 lbs.

 

[n.diazismylife1999]

180+ during fight week when he's cutting. TS forgot to mention that

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Nurmagomedov was 170 lbs for the Barboza fight and 166 lbs for the McGregor fight.


RDA cuts from 180 lbs.

Per Josh, he came in to camp at 195.

“Who cuts a ton of weight at 155? Khabib! Khabib cuts a shitload of weight. 195 three weeks ago, 191 when he showed up in camp. Now he’s down to 182, 183... (On fight night he's) probably 185-182, somewhere around there."

I trust the team mate with no agenda, just shooting the shit, vs some hype men trying to quell nerves about Khabib missing weight.

Not even close to being true

Most Lightweights are bigger than King Colby, it's just that all of them are too scared to fight monsters like Woodley. Colby isn't scared of anyone and has a vastly superior skill set to guys like Ferguson, Khabib, and Conor

Ferguson even said he walks around at over 200lbs and provided proof of this

Did you see how big he was compared to RDA? Who had mauled Magny not too long before that...

There are all different ways of carrying weight tho and it's hard to tell unless you see them in person. Some guys are deceptively thick and carry it in their core, legs, bones, when other guys may have smaller trunks and lower torsos but giant upper bodies (i.e. Jon Jones).

It is really hard to trust guys about weight tho, as they all lie for some reason or another. Most will say they weigh more than they do for a mental advantage, unless there are weight cutting and then they will say they weigh less. Conor said he was 174 in the cage for Aldo, yet, when he bulked up big time following Aldo and did not even cut weight, he barely made 168 - the reasons are obvious why he did tho.

Taller doesn't equal bigger

RDA looked a lot thicker, Colby is pretty skinny for an elite fighter

 

[Bend NvR Break]

I think Colby deserves to be both appreciated and commended for his bravery in fighting guys that routinely outweigh him by 15lbs to fight at his natural weight, and still manages to dominate them with ease.

For reference, Frankie Edgar who is a tiny 145lber, walks around at 160. Colby only walks around at a little over 180 and still fights at 170.

Meanwhile Woodley, who has admitted to walking around at 205lbs, has never fought at 185 because he is scared of getting flatlined like he did against Nate Marquard. Colby has actually spoken about moving up to 185 in the past because he fears no man, despite the fact that he walks around at 181-183lbs and is less than 180 in the cage.

Colby will be 2 division champ someday when he gets down to 155 and crushes guys like Tony Ferguson and Conor with ease

Proof (video is timestamped to Colby telling us his weight):



Colby will make easy work of Woodley and drown him with his unmatched pressure and cardio (best cardio in MMA history)

WAR COLBY FOREVER!!!

Justin Gaethje walks around about 165 and fights at 155.

Colby doesn't cut weight because he wants to keep his cardio as good as possible. The hug, hold and play patty cake strategy can get pretty exhausting.

 

[Mike K.O]

Edgar used to fight at 155 without cutting weight. Gunnar Nelson also doesn't cut a lot. But yeah, I respect fighters who don't cut/cut small amouts.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Conor only cuts 13 pounds, same as BJ when he fought at LW. The new breed guys, like Lee and Khabib cut 40-50 pounds. Heck, even max cuts from 180+ down to 145.

Neophyte Conortard fan, ladies and gentlemen.

Khabib cuts 50 lbs. Lol my goodness. He was definitely 200+ lbs in the cage, no wonder Conor lost!!!!1!1!

im pretty sure thats not at all what he was saying

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

But Khabib and Lee don't cut that much. Donks is a Conortard, so he has to do damage control for his boy getting dominated, dropped, and tapped.

You'd be surprised. Check his post history.

im probably wrong, but i was under the impression lee and khabib cut a fucking ton.

Not 40-50 lbs.

Here is a great thread with fight night weights, all sourced and split up by division.
