That’s a real friend stopping him from biting his tounge

[drunkenmmamaster]

If weight cutting fucks you up this bad it's time to move up a weight class 🤣🤣🤣

[calebwilbee]

The guy is really lucky for the teammates he had with him

[Boro_MuayThai]

Thats a real friend putting his fingers in his mouth to stop him biting his tongue off, a time like that where they aren’t in control of themselves your fingers could get bitten off

[NoMoreBenny]

Terrifying shit like this is why the older generation of fighters needs to advise the younger generations from cutting weight for fights. Just fight at your natural weight, it’s not an advantage to dehydrate your body and brain. That makes you far more susceptible to being knocked out. Glad this guy was okay in the end, though🙌

[jakobbaker]

I tried weight cutting once, so much easier to just fight at your natural weight, even if the opponent is bigger I find it satisfying being the underdog.

[dynamite]

Those are real teammates and friends, helping him the entire way

[Bells_realm_]

That is sooo scary and traumatic for both him and his friends, glad he's okay and had some real friend around him

[zippery]

Very dangerous. Weight cutting should never be legal

[hulksmash]

Even if your opponent winds up being bigger than you on fight night you stand a much better chance with a fully hydrated brain, muscles, organs and joints being in peak condition and having all your own natural strength than being just as depleted and starved as the other guy. 24 hours is not enough time to fully recover and rehydrate after being starved and dehydrated for weeks or even months at a time during training camp. Extreme weight cutting is overrated and dangerous, there are fighters literally dying from weight cuts now.

This made me realize that when i have enough wealth i still won't buy a giant house. That's way to long of a run. Imagine it happens to your daughter and you have to run that far to safe her

For the future, and for those who DONT know...

You don't force someone's mouth open or put anything in their mouth while they are having a seizure.
You also don't restrain them.
Other than calling 911, they should have put him on the floor, rolled him on his side, and cleared the area.
Get the person to the ground, call 911, roll them to their side if you can, and clear the area.
That's it.

You risk shattering their teeth or create chocking hazards if you put anything in their mouth.
Lips might turn blue from lack of oxygen, but they are not chocking on their tongue. After its over their colour will come back.
Always call 911, because if it lasts longer than 2 minutes, their us risk of brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

People saying fight your weight class acting like 99% of the roster isn't weightcutting, he'll be small for his weightclass, I think the whole weight cutting thing is dumb

[RandomBJJGuy]

Weight cutting is the biggest fucking bullshit in combat sports.

Reform for same day weigh ins and hydration testing

[angeldub]

He learned from his mistakes and took responsibility for it

[Netherlands]

Yeah the UFC should make cutting weight ineffective, if you do a hydration test at the weigh-ins you avoid all of these problems

[BoxTalk]

Respect to all these warriors who did this. I don’t compete in combat sports but I do train and all I can say is training alone is pure hell

[SlashandStab]

That's not from weight cutting. That guy lied on his form when he was sighing up. he was epileptic.

[codyparker]

This is a perfect example of why they need a 165 division

For those that don't know it's because before cutting water weight from your body you first have to drink alot of water which seems really weird to me but that's how it's done apparently. He drank too much water which diluted his sodium levels. Low sodium can be the same or worse than high sodium. I agree that cutting weight is bad but this was due to the diluted sodium which can happen to anyone that drinks too fucking much water even if not weight cutting. And for those saying fight bigger guys. If weight cutting stops then probably 70 or 80 percent of all fighters in all weight classes would move up because they all cut weight. So they would be fighting the same people just at a weight 10lbs heavier most likely
