other than posting that they are penalized after you claimed they are not?

Not surprising, as you really haven't said anything yet.

Ok...now I agree with you. Your unedited post didn't make sense.


It is still not enough though, as it discredits the weight classes.


If you are being paid to fight on PPV with hundreds of thousands of people watching (and millions watching later) and you can't make weight (something you should have down to a science by that point in your career), then perhaps primetime is not for you.

No, but if you are going to post a fragment of a thought and than get incendiary about it being misinterpreted, then perhaps you just shouldn't post.


It's also funny to see you get bent out of shape when you were the one that got nasty (and then posted a half-wit response) in the first place.

what if he is sick? it is easy to see how that could effect your weight cutting.

ever get nervous or stressed before your fight? I know someone who feels sick every time they get stressed, lolsad.

anyways, i found this article about weight cutting:

http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/01/18/how-to-cut-weight/

"If you weigh 200 lbs., 120 of those pounds are water, which is distributed between three systems: blood, cell interiors (as pertaining to powerlifting, muscle fibers), and the spaces between the blood vessels and the cells dependent on them. Approximately 8% of your total water volume is contained in blood plasma, 67% is contained in the cells themselves, and 25% is found in the spaces between the two, which includes subcutaneous water. It is imperative that athletes understand the distribution areas from which excess water, and not life-sustaining water, can be most safely excreted, pulling from critical systems only as a last resort. Thermoregulatory and mild electrolyte manipulation, with potassium-sparing supplementation for the latter, provides a compelling combination of efficacy and safety. Bear in mind that “safety”, particularly when used in the context of something that is inherently dangerous, is relative. "
