There is a lot of 155 fighters that cut 30 pounds+ He is not abnormal. He just does not have a nutritionist. He is cutting weight on his own. That is hard and stressful at this level. a lot of the top 170 fighters are 200 to 210. 185ers are 210-230 and so on.

Nope. No welter weight starts their water cut from 200 lbs. Not even woodley. Woodley claimed he is 193 lbs in cage. If woodley who is the biggest WW then none of these other guys enter the cage at a heavier weight than him. Most welters statrt their water cut from around 185.
Wall around weight is different from fight night weight. Remember woodley is 193 at like 10% body fat.

not water cutting which is 1-2 weeks before the fight. I am talking about their weight right before they start a camp. Rumble walked around at 230.

Yea fair enough. I am just saying none of them weigh that much in the cage. Welterweights claim that they walk around at 200 but they never enter the cage st 200 lbs. Even rockhold and romero only enter the cage at 200-205. So we can be sure that welters are below 195 at the very least.

I agree all fighters generally go into the cage 10-18 lbs up from their weight class. But the weight cut from the start of the camp to weigh in is extreme for most fighters and will take years off the end of their lifes. It is extremely barbaric and pointless imo. You rarely get a fair fight because one of the fighters can cut the weight easier and recover better by the time of the fight.

185 at WW is what GSP used to be and he was considered "big" at the time.

Just another case of a guy wanting to fight smaller guys for an advantage

tyron probably isn't the biggest though Till and Usman are probably a few pounds more, they could very well be water cutting 25-30 pounds.

Tyron looks denser and leaner though. Think they are all very similar in size. 195 max. Romero and rockhold are clearly bigger. They are 205.

He is denser, but he is also shorter.

Usman's BSA would be .5 feet larger than Woodley at the same weight
 
His coach said he missed weight because the sauna at the casino didn’t open at 5am like it was supposed to. Said they didn’t get in there til 8 and he still would’ve made it if they gave him the extra hour.

I dont care for Lee all that much but I appreciate that he didn’t make excuses and I believe he doesn’t have a problem making the weight
 
Anyway no welterweight enters the cage heavier than 195. Even that is a stretch. If a beast mode gsp at middleweight only weighed 192 then i doubt any of the other welterweights are bigger in cage.

The average fighter in every weight class is cutting substantial weight Rockhold is probably 215+.
 
People on here seem to think he's cutting lean muscle mass at 185. If you ever picked up a weight or played a sport in your life you know how hard it is to increase lean muscle mass. The only way these people are cutting down from like 185 for example is from mostly bodyfat given the short duration between training camps and fighting.

Cutting from 175 lbs is a standard cut to LW

I don't think so.

I don't think Conor, Porier, Gaethje, Iaquinta, Pettis etc cut 20 lbs. They are all CLEARLY smaller than Khabib and Lee.

I've never seen Lee with high body fat, so if he starts his camp at 185 lbs he could easily just fight at that weight as a WW and perform just as well.

too small IMO ..

wish UFC would just reclassify weight classes ..

scrap Fly and do this

130, 145, 160, 175, 190, 205, 220

No no, we need even fewer weight classes. 150, 175, 195, 225 and open weight where anyone who wants to compete can. Where if Colby had the balls he could fight Werdum in a sanctioned fight. No weight cutting allowed for the four classes that have a limit.
