I thought losing that much weight would cause kidney damage.

As well as leaving you weak as hell for the fight….

We'll probably have to throw Serra in as a wild card

He could always fight at 205 if he can’t make rumbleweight

Nope.

You dont even carry that kind of water weight. Pretty sure it’s not physically possible.

For a 210 pound man,

125-145 pounds is water. Even for people of essentially identical lean mass the amount varies though. For a lean, elite athlete experienced at cutting and using proper preparation, cutting, monitoring and rehydration techniques, 13% – 15% of pre-cut weight is a good rule of thumb for the upper “safe” limit, but that varies person-to-person.

The fancy food is great. Like michelin-star great but it’s us poor working class folk who get the short end of the stick. Things are changing though. St James in London offer great food for a decent price. Anthony Bourdain is in love with it.

People in the UK have no business talking about food

Considering amazing cuisine there is McDonald’s.

Yes, we are so proud of our very British chain of fast food ‘cuisine’ joints called McDonalds, but don’t stop there, we also love to boast about the many others we came up with, like Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts, Spray-on cheese in a can, and a favorite down south, the Portsmouth Cheesestake.

Wow

Guess that shows Daley’s commitment. How long before he moves up to 185? He and Tom Watson in BAMMA is a really interesting fight.

by HeadKickOfDoom on Oct 19, 2011 11:17 PM EDT reply actions  

never heard of a cut this big

Biggest I have heard of is 35 lbs and the dude doing it was 255lbs of pure, steroid muscle cutting to 220 in 24 hours.

Daley isn’t nearly that big. And he doesn’t/shouldn’t have the illegal drugs to do it

Which is odd because flagging is a two-step process

So how would that be an accident unless you somehow missed the popup?

Just messing with you. ;)

by dv8shun on Oct 20, 2011 7:41 AM EDT up reply actions  

It’s true though, I often see people thinking they mistakenly flagged someone, but as you said it’s a two step process. First you hit flag, then you get a big pop-up window with red label where you are asked to choose a category (spam/troll/inappropriate) and write a description as to why you flagged it. Then you press submit, and after that you have officially flagged someone. So unless you’re really unlucky or spastic, it’s not too easy to do it by mistake.

“Spastic”?! Thats offensive to retards!

But when you click 'rec'

that button disappears and you see ‘loading…’ and ‘Flag’ with a 1 next to it, but it doesn’t actually flag it.

That’s laughable. Was this a last minute fight or something? Can’t fathom why he’d do this.

IMHO

I think it’s fine to cut weight in all but losing 50+ lbs I think you should fight in a higher weight class and go after guys a little more your size. Don’t get mr wrong as I said I’m all for weight cutting but when your losing that much weight to fight guys that much smaller com’ on

Ditto

Some weight cutting is OK, but the guys cutting 30+ pounds should really just fight in a higher weight class.

so most of the ufc lhw fighters should be heavyweights

then most ufc heavyweights should not be in the ufc because they don’t have a super heavyweight divison

by BIGNAT on Oct 20, 2011 8:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's definitely hyperbole

There is literally not a single chance he cuts 40 lbs in one day. Not scientifically possible.

I thought

It was a Steven Seagal technique… He manages to pull it in every recent movie – we see a close up shot if his face, then he loses 50 lbs for the far shot where he kicks, then gains it back for another close up.

It's lose-lose for Daley

Either you miss weight or you look like the world’s biggest dumbass for cutting that much weight in such a short time. Get a dietitian for God’s sake.

Or just fight at 185 where you belong.

Especially if you’re not going to be fighting in the UFC.

40 pounds in one day is insane, unhealthy and would probably leave him stiff and dehydrated for the fight. BTW he doesnt look that heavy to be +200 pounds, but weight is deceiving sometimes though. Good luck Daley, but I don’t think this is the best strategy to resurge ur career.

maybe for that fight he cut 40 and it works as long as you don’t get hit hahahhaha

by BIGNAT on Oct 20, 2011 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m mad because it was the best first round of any fight all year, and then with a few seconds left the ref stops it, robbing us of more of that goodness.

And besides, just look at the gif. If it wasn’t stopped when Diaz was layed down on his stomach eating punches, there’s no reason to stop it at the Daley situation.

Maybe it can be done

I don´t think he cares enough about these smaller fights to make weight.

In the UFC, he made 170 twice and missed by one/two lbs (depending on how you count) once, when he made 172 against Hazelett. He also made weight for his three Strikeforce fights after getting cut by the UFC. He can make the weight, but, if there is not enough on the line, he don´t seem to care enough to actually go through the trouble.

That is just poor professionalism.

that makes perfect sense when he is getting the big money he is on weight

when he fights in bamma he knows the other guy is going take the fight if he is over. they want the pay bump from fighting a high profile fighter. plus if you lose you can blame it on how heavy he was. if you win daley can just say i was not in my best shape. i was tired form the weight cut that didn’t work out.

by BIGNAT on Oct 20, 2011 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

He’ll be wearing a 30 pound fatsuit. He will then take it off, cut weight normally, still miss by 2 pounds and proceed to blame the sauna.
