  1. Costa looks sick after his cut. 45 pounds cut is a lot.

  2. You can’t. They all would die. None of them would do good. They have to rehydrate their bodies with water. They have weight cuts and hydration for a reason. Not only for just weight classes. To fight optimal.

  3. It’s the worst.

  4.  @jamiedavies6773  Fighters don’t usually come back after a brutal knockout like that. Nobody would have ever thought that Volk would have been knocked out. I didn’t think it could happen. He’s one of the toughest opponents for anyone. We are all rooting for Volk. He needs to block out the past and fight like he’s never lost. I have faith in him. I just don’t want to downplay Topuria. He’s undefeated for a reason and walks through his opponents. He knows Volk has that brutal loss and will use that to his advantage.

  5. You try cutting 40 pounds. It’s hard. He cuts the most out of anyone percentage wise. Impressive.

  6.  @henrystevenson4837  You can’t stop people from cutting weight. It’s regulated by athletic committees. They are in control of it. Not UFC. They have nutritionist and doctors on site to help with everything. A full blown kitchen too. Casual watchers don’t understand the point in cutting weight and the safety of cutting weight. They think everyone should fight at their walk around weight. They have zero clue about fighting. Guys would be so sloppy. Reach has a lot to do with it too. Height too. Plus nobody wants to fight bloated. You would also have 100 weight classes. 155,158,161,165,169, etc. all the way up. The sport would suck. With weight cutting it makes fighter discipline, and lean. Then they can hydrate back to a fighters body. In the ring, most fighters and their opponents weigh close enough so it’s all fair. Guys that might be heavier than their opponents are Volk, costa, Whittaker, Strickland, Alex Pereira. All fighters cut weight. All of them. Everyone’s body is different.

  7.  @henrystevenson4837  Fighters need 30 hours to hydrate. After weigh ins, they eat very light so they don’t get bloated. Drink lots of water. After they fight, then they pig out in food. Every fighter knows what a fighters body is and how much they have to cut to get there. That deciphers on what weight class they fight in.

  8.  @henrystevenson4837  also if everyone fought at their weight, everyone would be in a new class then. Except for HW.

  9.  @herbprophet  Nah. Costa is one who pulled from three fights. He hasn’t fought in two years. Dana will make him fight Aliskerov in next fight. Costa avoided him last time.

  10.  @kurt6708 8 pounds is nothing. Most of these guys cut 20-40 pounds.

  11. He looks like he’s gonna pass out. Huge weight cut.

  12. I’m worried about what Islam did to Volk. Volk should have never went up to 155. Especially against a fighter like Islam. This could be the end of Volk. I’m worried Volk lost his confidence. He might have a lot of fear now that he knows he is beatable. Topuria is a tough kid. Superb fighter. If Volk loses, he’s gonna blame it on not long enough camp again. He looks worst now than when he fought Islam in second fight. I know he had to cut an extra 10 for this though. He looks awful. Hope Volk can put his fear past him and collect this win. This will be his hardest 145 fight ever. I can see Topuria catching him early. Hes no joke.

  13. It’s crazy that Volk can drop 40 pounds that easy.

  14.  @BlinkrBanana  Yes. He was 220 when he was younger. Rugby player.
