Check out some random examples I stumbled upon today from the world of MMA..

Yeah, way more. I've heard of guys cutting 15-20 pounds in a day. Big weight class variances compared to boxing and a lot of wrestlers who are used to cutting crazy amounts.

I like how the dude in the last fight lost a pound after weigh-ins.. and his opponent gained 24. The bloated boy lost though.

How did Kendrik LOSE weight after the weigh in?

Daniel James cutting 35 pounds to make the heavyweight limit.

Ronny Markes is like the human equivalent of beef jerky in this picture. They probably pumped all of the blood and water out of his body, weighed him in a dead state, and then restarted his heart after they put the fluids back in.

Wtf weight is that dude fighting at? He looks like 6'3 and 130'ornsomething he makes Tony Pep look like AJ

My god, 30 effing pounds? That is horrific. Yes, it's bad in MMA. I hear they were using IV's legally and stuff.

Yep. That sh*t ain't the advantage that people think it is.

That's George Roop... listed at 6'1". This weigh-in was for a 136lb fight. Probably one of the "worst" weigh-in photos.... but not one of the absolute worst...

It's cowardice and lack of honor to compete in weight class sports in this manner.
You're supposed to work out and be healthy and find the number closest to that.

Gollum lookin mofos.

The worst I ever "heard" of is a guy named Marcus Davis.

He weighed in at 154 on a Thursday. The prior or following Monday (interview wasn't clear.. either way), he was 207.

Good Lord. I don't see how that wouldn't cause something inside to shut down or something. That's gotta be HORRIBLY unhealthy for your inner workings and such.

I re-reviewed the interview.. not completely sure if he was referring to the prior Monday or the following one.. I think the latter.. either way, still absolutely nuts.

Probably a late replacement and he had to gain weight to make it.

How can that be possible? If you are like 207 and go on a very strict diet you might lose two pounds in a week.

If you think weight cutting in MMA and boxing is bad check out the world of jockies.
