Gleison Tibau talks to Tatame about cutting and gaining weight before his UFC 139 fight with Rafael dos Anjos: "So we lose like 33lbs in a month and we gain like 26, 28lbs to fight. So it’s a good thing. If the guy stands before me, I’ll punch him and he’ll fall, he’ll feel it. I got there (in the cage) with almost 183lbs. I was really strong. 28lbs in one day. When Rafael stopped before me, I played and he felt. Heavier and stronger. Physically, I’m feeling fine". Image via UFC
