If you wonder why fighters go through grueling weight cuts for every fight instead of just fighting at their natural weight, consider this:
I am 5’11 186lbs. If I fought in the UFC at my natural weight I’d have to fight a 6’2 Gregory f****ing Rodrigues coming in there at 220lbs on fight night. It’s like Charles Olivera stepping in there and banging with Jared Cannonier. So weight cutting is a necessary evil.
Nobody asked, I know, just saw ppl online criticizing fighters for cutting so much and felt like ranting.
