I saw Dave Meltzer drinking from a box of juice one time.

I'm not judging I'm just dropping my scoops here and flying away like a pigeon.

Bubba Smith: Sep 27, 2004; Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I really hope that's old footage and he's learned to tuck his chin, among other things. Otherwise Gall is going to knock him out real quick.

Punk is on 4am over here and I'm working late that night. Might have to stay up late to watch my favourite wrestle man die.

If I remember the episodes correctly, it is from one of his earlier sparring sessions.

Mel Mudkiper: Jan 19, 2012; At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.

I havent seen it brought up but apparently Punk is still 30lbs overweight for the fight.

I am not very knowledgeable about the background of professional fighting weight loss but that... seems like a lot

# ? Sep 5, 2016 15:30

Josuke Higashikata: Mar 7, 2013

30lbs over on the monday before the friday weigh is ridiculous, I'd be surprised if it were true, but he's almost definitely not making weight if true, and even if he does, he'll feel like death.

It's a lot, but not unheard. Worth keeping in mind in general about weight cutting is to think of it relative to body weight rather than the objective number. 30 lbs to a welterweight isn't as much as 30 lbs to a flyweight.

# ? Sep 5, 2016 16:16

Chris James 2: Aug 9, 2012

I doubt it's by that much but he likely is overweight right now

it would be amazing, to me, that punk's handlers wouldn't be so meticulously watching/documenting every aspect of his fight game that they would miss something like scale weight leading up to the week of the fight

Unless it's Frankie Edgar skipping breakfast to make 155, I would guess any weight cut for Punk would be bad since he's never done one.

I would hope that the past two years have included a number of test cuts just to make sure that it is possible.
