Fuck the Blackzillians with this failed Dutch trainer over there acting like he's god now... so hilarious.

That shit needs to fall apart already.
And Struve is a retard for still not fucking training with Semmy his old team... hell Semmy probably helps him out as well, he has done so before.

no because weigh ins are too much before the fight for that to be an effect in this case. The day before the fight they both may weigh 215 on a scale, but by the time the bell rings the next day they're both going to be walking around at whatever weight they should be. If one was 215 and the other 227, come fight time, that's what they'l weigh.

I know what you're trying to say, I feel ya, but in an instance like this, it really wouldn't make a consequential difference.

To me, it's just satisfying a technicality.


I agree with you I think weight cutting is very stupid and lame but this is the reason why they do it nonetheless.

Weight cutting is 100% fine with me, other than when it contributes to a poor performance, or missed weight. That's the only real issue with it imo.

This, everybody cuts weight so it's not really an advantage so to speak..

it's a skill that goes along with the sport, if you can't do it.. you suffer

If you can't talk / hype a fight you don't make money

Just way she goes

Talking to media = skill
weight cutting and remaining healthy = skill
fight itself = skill


All ties together as just simply being part of the sport

GSP possibly biggest mma earner... is boring as fuck in interviews. - so that's a mute point.
Cain is boring as fuck in interviews.
Fedor didn't even speak fucking English/Japanese etc...

The real point is that people don't care about these really low weight classes even if the fighter is very skilled in pretty much all aspects of mma like Johnson is.

Hell... before Conor/Ireland came along no one cared about 145 as well and part of his shtick is calling the rest of the division ''midgets'' or his ''kids''.
So you know he's playing into that sentiment as well.

Basically the only small guy that was a real mma star was Bj Penn... and guess what? He fought UP in weight... all the way to hw.

As for weight cutting... that shit is weak as fuck and so pointless... the fighters would have more cardio without it = better fights and more fair (since not everyone is able to cut 30 pounds like some guys are).
