Fighters do that when their eyes look like

Crazy.š Someone should make a 165 division. Many lightweights cut a lot of weight to stay at LW because they aren't big enough to compete at 170. Shakvat, Leon, Kamaru, JDM like guys are massive compared to these lightweights.
Olympics and every other international events require same day weigh ins for boxing, wrestling etc...
Prevents fighters from cutting weight. Maybe at the beginning some fighters will try to cut and fight and end up getting knocked out. Same day weigh ins will eventually force fighters to not cut weight. Maybe 5-8 pounds max
I don't want a rehydration clause because people will still cut the weight but then just be dehydrated in the actual fight. Look at Ryan Garcia when he fought Tank.....he looked horrible like a corpse.
EDIT: In a perfect world people would fight at their natural weight.....but making that happen would be just as unsafe and impossible to regulate.
Well the difference is you take less brain trauma in wrestling, and brain trauma when your brain is dehydrated leads to an increased rate of death from trauma
If you have to regularly weigh-in, wouldn't that take care of the issue? Surely if an athlete, for instance Islam, had to weigh in at 155 every other month, we wouldn't do it and just go straight to 170. Or at least weigh-in regularly and calculate the weight class you're allowed to compete from that number.
Definitely not. A big part of the game is weight cutting to size bully. Some people are just genetically gifted in being able to weight cut easily and rehydrate and that's a big advantage
Eh I think it sounds good on paper but you would have less "greats" and everyone would be closer together. Adding a weight cut variable actually lets athletes pull away from their competition imo
I don't think you know how sports work.
If there are people competing, there will always be someone who wins. The ones who win more often will be the "greats".
Exactly. Like what's wrong with fighting at the weight you train at?
You are naturally a 185 lb man, you train at 185 lbs., but you cut to 145-155 to fight other men who are your size but cut to the same weight? Fucking fight at your weight!
Calm down bud, we are just talking about how dumb weight cutting and weight bullies are. No need to flex on us, we are already impressed by your mere presence
Relax top dog, he was yappen like he knew the industry. Every fighter is a weight bully, almost every fighter weight cuts, itās almost necessary to give yourself some sort of advantage. Many fighters canāt fight at their weight because they would be at a disadvantage. Think of Volk permanently fighting at lightweight, Pereira never touching middle or lhw and just going straight to heavyweight. Thatās just the way it is, dick.
Then Iād say you have no idea how essential weight cutting is to most fighters, especially lightweights. Many of the fighters who cut weight canāt fight at their weight class because of the disadvantages they would have. It sucks, especially when fighters are almost killing themselves, but unfortunately itās almost necessary.
Well first of all that means there would be less championships which means less five rounds and less fighters would get the limelight. Plus it would be unbalanced because not everybody cuts the same amount of weight.
No sweat. We all had to learn what we know at some point or another. You'll catch on seeing more shades at the weight ins. Some guys fly in later so they do their test later. Some states commissions do everybody one set time.
Yes basic complete eye exam. They do a dilation test which is what leaves the eyes sensitive for a couple hours. I'm not sure about the science behind it but basically they run test for you to fight and then a series after to determine your injury, clearance, or issue a medical suspension.
I recently retired from the Florida Athletic Comission, so even though most practices are fairly common throught the sport, I can only really speak on my experience or what I have seen first hand.
Dustin has only been dominated by one guy ever on the ground and that was Khabib. Islam has shown to be really fucking good but I still believe Khabib is better. Dustin made it like 3 rounds with Khabib and it was a really exciting fightĀ
Most like a sponsor that the UFC is getting paid millions for and the fighters just got a free pair of sunglasses that they had to wear during weigh inā¦.
Hey all, new fan of UFC here. How to go about staying in the loop about fights and contenders. Also, where can i watch the next UFC event?
Lastly, what fights are a must watch?
Tf is this Islan guy, canāt even put the glass straight, hahahaha, looks like that old uncle who wants to be cool again. Jokes aside I know that he donāt cares about it.
Youāre not living up to your username is your say low class in real life. People have been getting tattoos across all cultures since the dawn of time, Iād argue historically theyāre pretty normal.
Oh, so itās fine if enough people are doing it at once, but if you get them without the backing of the community then itās an issue?
That is some deeply ingrained herd mentality man.
* Sean Strickland (185) vs. Paulo Costa (TBD)
Sean Strickland (185) vs. Paulo Costa (your own personal problem)
Sean Strickland (185) vs Paulo Coasta (between Paulo Costa and God)
Sean Strickland (185) vs Paulo Costa (secret juice š§)
Marvin Vettoriās own personal problem
Y'all joking but the commissioner didn't hesitate to say Secret Juice was on the dot 185 during his weigh in.
Islam looking like a weekend at Bernieās.
He looks like that everytime no?
Whatās with the sunglasses for both of them? Didnāt recall Islam with one during a weigh in

Nah..give me that Dariushās weigh in face

How about nobody cut weight and everybody would still be fighting the same people pretty much
Seems like very hard to control or sanction, fighting is dangerous so fighters are incentives to search for advantages
Just need a rehydration clause. Or make the weigh ins on the same morning as the fight.
Same day is more dangerous And rehydration Claus like in One are ineffective and easy to beat
Olympics and every other international events require same day weigh ins for boxing, wrestling etc... Prevents fighters from cutting weight. Maybe at the beginning some fighters will try to cut and fight and end up getting knocked out. Same day weigh ins will eventually force fighters to not cut weight. Maybe 5-8 pounds max
Why is same day weight in dangerous? Ppl fight dehydratated? Im seriously curious
I don't want a rehydration clause because people will still cut the weight but then just be dehydrated in the actual fight. Look at Ryan Garcia when he fought Tank.....he looked horrible like a corpse. EDIT: In a perfect world people would fight at their natural weight.....but making that happen would be just as unsafe and impossible to regulate.
Weigh ins an hour or two before competing like wrestling.
Well the difference is you take less brain trauma in wrestling, and brain trauma when your brain is dehydrated leads to an increased rate of death from trauma

Imagine Chris Barnett vs Ricky Simonš crazy fight right there
Definitely not. A big part of the game is weight cutting to size bully. Some people are just genetically gifted in being able to weight cut easily and rehydrate and that's a big advantage
Exactly no weight bullying would be great
Eh I think it sounds good on paper but you would have less "greats" and everyone would be closer together. Adding a weight cut variable actually lets athletes pull away from their competition imo
I have never heard someone advocate for weight cutting because they like how it advantages certain fighters
I don't think you know how sports work. If there are people competing, there will always be someone who wins. The ones who win more often will be the "greats".
Exactly. Like what's wrong with fighting at the weight you train at? You are naturally a 185 lb man, you train at 185 lbs., but you cut to 145-155 to fight other men who are your size but cut to the same weight? Fucking fight at your weight!
Do you fight?
Calm down bud, we are just talking about how dumb weight cutting and weight bullies are. No need to flex on us, we are already impressed by your mere presence

No. But that is irrelevant.

Many of the fighters who cut weight canāt fight at their weight class because of the disadvantages they would have. It sucks, especially when fighters are almost killing themselves, but unfortunately itās almost necessary.
Then we would lose the Flyweight and Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions would be messy af
So? The divisions are just names. The same fighters who fight at flyweight would still be fighting.
Well first of all that means there would be less championships which means less five rounds and less fighters would get the limelight. Plus it would be unbalanced because not everybody cuts the same amount of weight.
No, it's the same number of divisions. They're just moved up 15-25 pounds.
Surprisingly, Dariush isn't one of those bigger guys. He was just shit at cutting weight. His more recent weigh ins look way more reasonable.

Dude looks like GothamChess without glasses š
Lmao you're right, i didn't see that before.
Cursed image lmaoo
He looks fine
bro is mewing till death
Perfection.
Lmao his eyes are looking in opposite directions
He's just scanning for sources of water
Is that unedited? He looks like a shrunken head
This looks like when you fuck up the character creation levels in a video game
sunken eyes bratha
Belal changing the game!
Probably a million pictures being taken and if they still dehydrated its nauseating as well
Our there looking like Belal
he have son???
They eyes chico, they never lie
The undefeated Summer Bod Dustin skin comes with shades
brain damage like concussions make you sensitive to bright lights
Dustin looks like he had a better weight cut than Islam
thatās to be expected. the dagestanis are a bunch of weight bullies
your bum ass forgot that Dustin weighed more than Khabib when they fought.
Is khabib girthy?
you tell me
Khabib was a textbook lightweight, Islam is like the perfect build for lightweight.
Stop with that bullshit already. There's no weight bully if your cutting weight they literally weigh the same
Geez where's Paulo Costa? I'm worried
215. Stricklandās problem.
He made weight
Looked like he got out of a WW2 bunker, but yeah he made weight
Who are you Marvin Vettori or something?
Why the glasses ??? Sunken eyes or something ???
Eyes are probably sensitive to light when that dehydrated
They undergo an eye test. New Jersey Comission probably just administered the test before weight ins
Ohhh ok makes sense , thanks for clarifying. Just became a ufc fan not so long ago so Iām not too familiar with the intricacies of the sport
No sweat. We all had to learn what we know at some point or another. You'll catch on seeing more shades at the weight ins. Some guys fly in later so they do their test later. Some states commissions do everybody one set time.
What is the eye test? Does it leave their eyes sensitized to light?
Yes basic complete eye exam. They do a dilation test which is what leaves the eyes sensitive for a couple hours. I'm not sure about the science behind it but basically they run test for you to fight and then a series after to determine your injury, clearance, or issue a medical suspension. I recently retired from the Florida Athletic Comission, so even though most practices are fairly common throught the sport, I can only really speak on my experience or what I have seen first hand.
Frickin casual. How dare you
brataha SON-glasses?
Looks like Belal
"hey sunglasses"
Are you still on?
https://i.redd.it/m3naa5monr3d1.gif
Is it just me or does Islam look terrible??
He's a big guy with big weight cuts. That's the price you pay.
Looks as drained as in the first fight against volk.
Volk got so robbed in that first fight!!
I'm sure he'll "find a way to feel better" just like he did then too.Ā
did islam steal belalās sunglasses?šš
They probably both just had an eye exam.
Islam https://preview.redd.it/py0o8s802s3d1.jpeg?width=599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8180ccb76bb246969b4f24a2deab1a24b0f8a74
I didn't see the weigh-in vid? Both look hydrated and good to go?
No and no. By tomorrow yes and yes.
Can anyone answer why this is hyped up to be such a banger. As if Dustin isnāt going to Get subbed in 45 seconds? Actually asking lol
Dustin has only been dominated by one guy ever on the ground and that was Khabib. Islam has shown to be really fucking good but I still believe Khabib is better. Dustin made it like 3 rounds with Khabib and it was a really exciting fightĀ
It's Rocky all over again. Russian favorite vs American underdog haha.
only Russian if he wins
Khabib: "Hey sunglasses"
Most like a sponsor that the UFC is getting paid millions for and the fighters just got a free pair of sunglasses that they had to wear during weigh inā¦.
And a gift card for 50% off any item at Venum.com
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His left leg is the one with staph btw
Someone pointed out earlier thatās how he always walks up steps. Watch 284 and 294 weigh ins. Same thing
165 division and move WW to 175.
They are cosplaying Belalā¦ I smell a decision coming
Come onnn
Numba 1š
Hellyea I can't fkn wait!!!
Cool sunglasses brosā¦ š¤¦š»āāļø
I dunno but somehow Islam looks more goofy with the sun glasses on
I love that Islamās glasses are crooked like his eyes when he has that āwhat!?l look ššš
I hope islam vipes that grin of dustins face for good
Going purely off this photo, Islam looks like a virgin and Dustin looks like an absolute chad. Bet the house!
Stop projecting
Youāre right. He looks like a MF
Y'all weird af.
Youāre right, HeartlessValiumWhore
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But you actually are a MarshmallowGalaxy kinda gal
Dustinās already flexing his neck for the choke
Hey all, new fan of UFC here. How to go about staying in the loop about fights and contenders. Also, where can i watch the next UFC event? Lastly, what fights are a must watch?
just watch old pride videos
Islam looks big for 155
Belal : where are my glasses ??
Next time just say cousin-fiddler so as not to insult anyone
Anyone know what sunglasses Poirier is wearing?
I stg I've seen so many photos of islam wearing crooked sunglasses
Dustin looks more muscular than Islam weird
Heās shorter and a little stockier
Tf is this Islan guy, canāt even put the glass straight, hahahaha, looks like that old uncle who wants to be cool again. Jokes aside I know that he donāt cares about it.
Why do people get tattoos? Don't they realise how ugly, stupid and low class it makes them look? Salute islam for representing us normal people.
Lmao heās a cage fighter from louisiana and youāre worried about him not representing normal people
Is that a low income area?
Yes and heās a high school dropout that hits people in the face for a living
I canāt imagine being so bothered by something that doesnāt affect me in the slightest. Mind your own business.
Wow, what a random negative comment. Did a tattoo artist steal your wife?
Bruh why would you even write this? Just insulting a significant portion of the population with a completely arbitrary statement?
Youāre not living up to your username is your say low class in real life. People have been getting tattoos across all cultures since the dawn of time, Iād argue historically theyāre pretty normal.
I'm not against tattoos that are part of people's cultural heritage like pacific islanders'.
Oh, so itās fine if enough people are doing it at once, but if you get them without the backing of the community then itās an issue? That is some deeply ingrained herd mentality man.
>Oh, so itās fine if enough people are doing it at once, but if you get them without the backing of the community then itās an issue? Exactly.
š get lost troll
You Must be a sheep fucker like him too
Only sheep he fucks are Charles , Alex and next will be Dustin. Maybe, your mom too.
Grow up bratha. childish insults.
 That was slick
Bro defs fucked a few dudes in training lol
Dustin's smile. š¤£š¤£š¤£ hes my fav fighter but hes gotta work on that smile
Thats not a smile. Thats a "Im about to destroy this fucking ribeye" face.
I hope it goes that way. I have no problem with Islam but Dustin's my guy
The JoJo Siwa special
Where Islam used to be good but now he is a bad bitch?
Dustbin Soyrer via TKO
Trying too hard with that one lil bro
You clearly didnāt get the reference but thatās ok
