WORST UFC Weight Cuts | The Scariest Weight Cuts in UFC History #UFC #mma #shorts

The Worst UFC Weight Cuts
Weight cutting is a permanent and terrifying part of mixed martial arts, where fighters diet and dehydrate themselves to meet the requirements of their weight class
And there have been some downright disturbing weight cuts.
Conor McGregor’s cut to 145 to challenge Dennis Siver left him sunken and left fans very concerned for his health. Thankfully, it didn’t seem to affect his performance.
Cris Cyborg on the other hand had a tortuous weight cut to fight at UFC’s 140 Ib catchweight, where she admitted to cutting 26 pounds in 2 days to meet the weight class. Thankfully, the introduction of the 145 Ib weight class gave her some relief before her departure.
TJ Dillashaw had a very infamous weight cut to drop to 125 Ibs to face Henry Cejudo, where he looked absolutely terrible, and regrettably took EPO to even make the weight.
Our 2 honorable mentions include Max Holloway’s medical complications for his Khabib fight and Rumble Johnson cutting from 210 Ibs to make welterweight. RIP Rumble.
But Aspen Ladd’s many weight cuts have been hard to watch, with Ladd shaking, wincing, and struggling to stand which puts her among

To this day, I still can't believe that Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, a Light Heavyweight, fought at Welterweight.

[zac]

anyone else want to see fighters fight at their natural weight?

[narcztv]

Its weird how conor looked so terrible but was still energized to tense and scream at the crowd after lokking malnourished

[aerialace]

26 lbs in 2 days is unbelievable. How did her body continue living???

[monric]

Masvidal had it hard cutting 20lbs in 6 days, but Cyborg crying while cutting 26lbs in 2 days made me feel really bad

[delsinmcgrath]

I feel kinda bad, but at the same time, no one forces them to fight at lighter weightclasses. If they fought closer to their natural weights, they wouldn’t have to do all that

[isaacbmx]

the max one will always confuse me dude looked dead moving up a weight class😂

[ninjaworldkitchen]

It should be illegal, for sure! Your weight is 100 kg, but you fight at 60 kg 😉 Yeah, sure.

Crazy how dehydrated Pereira looked for a LHW..this guy's a natural HW a mammoth

[ZombieHunter]

Never understood why UFC instituted weight classes. I loved early UFC when there were no weight classes and fewer rules. So much better than the modern version of UFC.

Bro i lost 28 pounds in a year, i couldn't imagine doing that in 2 days. Must've been so bad

[stevendiaz]

Nah, the CEO of EPO was always juicing. He got called out way before that fight against triple C

[johnjoe]

It's strange how no-one pointed out at the time how skinny Conor was as that's the weight he fought at 145/155lbs and now that he's walking around at about 200lbs, only looking back we even realise just how skinny he was. Also he didn't cut alot of weight as this was his weight class!

[sanskarsinghpawar]

You should've included the Khabib weight cut it was pretty messed up but twas good that he never failed later and joined the list of GOATs but yeah that weight cut was pretty f*ed up

[MrWongNumBah]

Its not the only sport Jockeys in horse racing have vicious weight cuts too they have a thing called the "jockey diet" which is wheat / bran cereal and drink Metamucil which pretty much gives you the runs and dehydrates you

[nraw]

Darren Till nearly going blind should probably be one here

[juancarlosrivera]

I feel so bad for these fighters. They look like they are in so much pain

[dr.theonlypro]

Khabib could not make weight because the weight cut would be to severe

[richardbullwood]

My son is a college football player finishing up his junior year. He wrestled for a winter sport. He wasn't great at it, but it kept him in shape for football. He never understood cutting weight. You cut a bunch of weight, you are weak. You basically hamstring yourself into giving a very poor performance in addition to hurting your body. If you can't make the wait, you can't make the weight. If you didn't have enough discipline to get down to the weight and stay there, then again, you shouldn't be at that weight

[bradycorcoran]

Aspen Ladd always looks out of shape no matter what. She’s not ufc material discipline wise or fighting ability.
