Le Saboteur posted:2 days to cut like 15 pounds. That is goddamn ridiculous. weigh in is today, so its more like 1 day, to cut 13 pounds. It can be done I guess, but thats just absurd. A lot of fighters are just going to have to move up.

CommonShore posted:If the UFC has been forcing fighters to change divisions for promotional reasons - Lineker, Gastelum - they should also start forcing fighters to change divisions for health (ethical) reasons. Like Kelvin though, I think Hendricks' issue is just he doesn't manage his weight between camps far more so than it is he legitimately belongs at welterweight. If he kept his diet under control I suspect his weight cuts would be much more reasonable. E: he'd be pretty undersized at middleweight, the issue really is just he's carrying around more pudge than he should.

It does have to be an objective rule, though. Some states are experimenting with weight class rules which could be interesting, but until that gets figured out, I'd just give every fighter maybe 2 chances in 5 years. If you miss weight twice in any 5 year period without a very good reason (eg, you got the flu and had to hydrate), then you must move up.

If he kept his diet under control I suspect his weight cuts would be much more reasonable. If he puts himself in the hospital from a weight cut, no matter the leading causes, he shouldn't be in that division anymore. Like, if he completely overhauls his lifestyle and never goes above 185 between fights, etc etc, then great, let him fight at welterweight, but after this long and this many bad cuts and however many dietitians, do you really think it's going to happen?

Hendricks should be able to make 170 without any issue. He has the same issue Kelvin has. Between fights he gets fat as poo poo and then (probably) even during camp as some of that weight is coming off he's probably still not eating totally clean and he winds up starting his weight cut way too loving heavy. If he kept his walk around weight in the 190's he would have no issue.

Fighters that walk around at 185-190 are fighting at lightweight. Hendricks has bad cuts for the same reason Cormier nearly killed his kidneys in 2008: he's fat. If he wasn't so fat, he could make welterweight just fine.

If he wasn't so fat, he could make welterweight just fine. I know that Hendricks could theoretically make welterweight just fine, but at this point I think we have to assume he doesn't want to do what it takes to stay healthy and make the weight. So, whether a fighter can't make weight for physical or mental reasons, either way they gotta move up after they have too many problems.

He should (and likely will) get paid but I dunno about getting a title shot off a canceled fight. Anyone that he can go against on the next card?

My friend is backing out of going to 194 cause ticket prices are way too high. Was really excited to go back there and finally see the match I went to 189 too see. I will probably just see wait 200 will be and attempt to go out for that one. This day sucks.

I can't wait for him to move to 185, get sparked and fade into irrelevancy.
