TheDolceDiet Mike DOLCE 2 hours later and @VitorBelfort is already back up to a happy and healthy 205 lbs! He could fight 5 x 5 right now!!! #LivingLean #UFC142
I'm not sure how that would be possible in 2 hours, but it's damn impressive.

i really wish weight cutting were not a part of MMA. it's just so unhealthy. but i still have not heard of any realistic alternative, and i think it's here to stay.
