Tweeted from Mike Dolce's twitter:
**That's pretty wild. I would have thought he would get back to around 200 lbs in 24 hours, but 3 hours is absolutely insane.

As for cutting weight I'm not totally against it. But there gets to be a point where it becomes ridiculous. I think there should be a limit on a % of weight you can gain back, like 10% difference max. So a 170 fighter at most could weigh 187 come fight day, a 205 can max weigh 225.5, HW max would be 291, 185 max weight 203.5, 155 max weight 170, etc down the line.

i'm torn, as i said before in another thread ur never gonna stop weight cutting
but i do agree that guys who don't want to put their body thru something like this shouldn't have to, but truth be told they don't have a choice
on the other hand, i don't have a problem with a guy doing whatever he can legally to get an edge...and some guys are very good at it

Dolce Diet works guys! I think it's extreme, but Alves has never looked sluggish from his weight cuts and now that he's on the Dolce Diet he looks like his cardio is limitless!
Now guys like Anthony Johnson who couldn't last a round, that's a different story....
