Remember that Youtube video a couple of days ago where Paul Daley said he'd have to cut 40 pounds in 24 hours to make weight for his fight at Ringside MMA 12? Well, he made it. Daley weighed in at 170.4 pounds, exactly the same as his opponent Luigi Fioravanti. They will officially face off tonight in the main event at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Bloody Elbow will be providing live coverage of the event.

I would think that that was impossible.
Good things he’s got a lot of fights under his belt already, because he’s not going to be fighting in the upper-30’s age doing this to his body.

I've heard formulas where it's possible to lose 15% of your body weight in water, before it gets very dangerous.
170 + 40 = 210
210 * 0.15 = 31.5
That’s not too far from 40. Guess it’s possible…

I know it's only 8.5 more pounds, which seems like it's not too much...
…but it’s a lot. I do not believe that he cut this much weight.
All these, uh, dealmakers making deals. Ya know, I don't, all I know is I'm ready to fight so, ya know, I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant.
It’s just an extra gallon? haha. Seriously though, that’s a lot. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I do think it’s a terrible thing to do. Also I wonder how much he crapped before the weigh-in.
“Also I wonder how much he crapped before the weigh-in.”
I don’t know about Daley specifically, but high colonics are a “normal” part of the routine for anyone cutting significant amounts of weight.
While the actual cutting takes place over the 24-36 hours before weigh-in, it is not unusual to weigh a fair amount more than usual 2-4 days before weigh-in as the prep and loading process takes place.
I’d be very surprised if Daley weighed much more than 200 pounds 10 days out from weigh-in as well as in the cage. 30 pounds would be about the upper limit for someone fighting at 170, although the amounts a given fighter can cut do vary.

Anyone who believes he cut 40 pounds in 24 hours without chopping off a limb is retarded.

I would be very surprised if he weighed 210 8-10 days before weigh-in or in the cage (both weights will be about the same if cutting properly), but not too surprised if he weighed 210 48 hours prior to weigh-in after all of the loading & prep work is done, but prior to the final stage of the cut.

I don't get why Daley has so much trouble making weight.
He isn’t really huge for 170… 5’9 is a tad on the shorter side of WW, and although he has broad shoulders, he also has pretty thin legs, and it’s not like he shows up to the weigh ins looking like skeletor. Diet problems, maybe?

I just imagined a fight between Paul Daley and Bones Jones.
Ouch.

Bullshit. He’s 5’9. At 210 lbs he would look like Melvin Fucking Manhoef.

Yeah some of you guys still believe he actually had 40 pounds to cut?
Because that is humanly impossible. He weighed a70.4 yesterday, back up to 189 today already.
Oh, a 40 pound weight cut in 24 hours is possible
But not sure how well he’d be able to fight without one of his legs.
