@Mayhem, good on you for catching that. Because there's no way Khamzat even tried to make the weight then. I've been around a lot of people cutting for many different weight classes. Granted I eventually moved up to 145, but 18 pounds five days out on a water cut is pretty ******* normal.

Actually for people who water cut, your fifth day is one of your heaviest days. Then you taper off the salt and then the water and you shed lbs like nobody's business.

So either Khamzat wasn't even trying to cut properly at all a week or so ahead of time, OR he just intentionally decided to not try and sauna off the weight.

For once we agree.

He wasn't even trying. He was stuffing his face in a restaurant the night before.

This is all the UFCs plan. Brilliant marketing strategy.

We now get Tony vs Diaz, Khamzat vs Holland and Li vs Rodriguez. 

And the fighters who lose don't even get cut even tho they are on huge losing streaks. Very clever. 

This now looks like a killer PPV card.

I'm 160lb right now, I think I could easily cut 10lbs without any help and never even attempting it, I don't know if i'm over confident in my ability to weight cut, But cutting 10lbs shouldn't be that hard, I think a lot of people could do it,  Khamzat is a clown for not doing his job,

DamienHandel420 I'm sorry, but I don't think you understand how cutting weight works. If you're cutting weight and already lost a couple of lbs, it's hard to get the rest off. Especially if you have to cut a big chunk of lbs that day. If it was really that easy, no one would struggle that much to even cut any kind of weight, if it was truly that easy to cut 10 lbs the way you're describing it.

Do I think Khamzat couldn't cut that amount of weight? Of course he could, but I just think he stopped cutting weight yesterday after all those shenanigans

Was really looking forward to seeing D-Rod upset Holland (possibly). Hoping that remains.

The reason fighter's miss weight is because they cut like 15-20% of they're bodyweight, Khamzat only attempted like 5% of his bodyweight before throwing in the towel, Dude didn't even try to make weight and it's his job to do so

I think I could do a 3kg weight cut in a week, Even if I was lean, If I was being paid 100 of thosands of dollars to do so, I'll hate it, But I think I could do it

Rah, I didn’t downvote you but I think he had a solid shot. Holland often underperforms and has been pretty hittable. I think it was a close fight.

I just don’t want to lose fights, if it goes down to 12 fair enough but any lower and someone’s getting ankle picked

Nah bro. Maybe if it had happened at a different time. I rate Rodriguez. But Rodriguez is coming back from 2 broken hands. He would have gotten smoked
