Weight Cutting Shenanigans

[CorninginChristianburg]

So Gomis had to pull out of his fight due to what appear to be significant medical complications due to weight cutting.

Then Elves Brener, who had the other weight-cutting shenanigans this time. Did in fact come in the bigger fighter, he did secure a size advantage against Myktybek Orolbai, it just did not win him the fight. I feel a little bit sorry for Brener because I think his ideal weight class is the 165 that does not exist.

However. I think the obsession over securing an advantage in weight cutting can be overdone, and was visibly overdone twice in the same card.

He looked flabby. Run more.

And gassed bad. Either needs more cardio, drop some weight, or move up. Could be an anomaly though

Run more. Drop to LW from 175.
