RE: Fight talk: UFC to enter boxing and Fiziev ponders weight class change
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
When fighters move around in different weight classes it actually takes a lot out of them and maybe in the UFC you have to follow the money moving around the different weight categories.

As someone who has 3 semi-professional MMA fights under his belt I can personally attest to this. I was involved when they were somewhat forgiving about missing weight by a half to a full pound too. It is torture if you are cutting, going up in weight, surprisingly, can be just as awful because you are so dedicated to diet and fitness that eating enough food to overcome the amount of exercise that you are doing is really tough as well. Actually, and within reason of course, I would rather be cutting weight than bulking up.
I think if you are training then losing weight would be easier. I tried to add 10Kg/s when playing rugby and not using various tablets or powders and it was seriously hard work.
