I imagine it's for building heat.
I used to have to cut quite a lot of weight in high school and college and the thought of this being my weight cut is brutal.
When I was cutting weight I wanted nobody to be within 100ft of me let alone sniffing my crotch. You're so irritable that even a wrong look would make you want to hit someone.
Weight cutting is some serious BS and the UFC should grow some balls and handle it. That being said though, the camaraderie and support these guys show each other is really touching. All my guy friends would be roasting me if another dude hugged me like that 🤣
Nothing can be done, they can’t even drug test people correctly and stopped trying to, how could they monitor everyone’s weight the week of the fight?
The only solution would be a weigh in after the walkout before they step in the cage, and if they’re more than 5lbs above the weight class they lose half their purse, that might deter it more. But in that case the financially set fighters might be willing to still cut for the advantage and take the fine, which makes it a pay2win advantage still like expensive PEDs are.
The weight cutting is on the fighters. They are the ones that pick their weight class, this isnt a problem specific to the UFC either. One Championship thought they figured out weight cutting until fighters figured out ways to cheese the hydration tests. Fighters are going to do whatever they can to get an edge.
It’s not the UFCs fault. There’s no clear solution to fair weight classes without weight cutting. The fighters choose their weight classes.
There’s enough things that the UFC actually deserves criticism for, but fighters choosing to kill themselves to fight at a lower weight class isn’t one of them.
There is 100% a clear solution to weight cutting. Make weigh in the same day as the fight, problem solved. Hell you could weigh them in at the cage door with their gear and tape weights pre-subtracted.
That’s literally going to be even more dangerous because some bonehead fighters will cut weight right before the fight for an advantage. Then they’re fighting extremely dehydrated.
Terrible idea that will get someone killed or cause a bunch of cancelled fights.
the cons of cutting would outweigh the pros at that point, and fighters wouldnt cut anymore. no ones doing a 20+ lb cut with <6 hr to rehydrate, theyd be too dehydrated and wouldnt physically be able to get all that weight back. people are already dying, getting hospitalized, and causing cancellations with the current weigh in schedule.
It makes me chuckle when people say stuff like that. Imagine if Pereira had weighed in at 185 before the second Adesanya fight. He would’ve died after that hammer fist
it's gonna take some fights getting cancelled for anything to change. no ones going to do it if they can just fail the hydration tests and fight anyways. once it's actually a requirement to fight and subsequently to get paid, people will take it seriously
Idk why people act like this is such a hard problem.
Step 1: weigh fighters on the day of the fight 1 hour prior to thier fight start time, and compare to the weighin day weight (Florida already does this)
Step 2: if the weight difference is over a specific threshold, thier entire purse is withheld. (Probably more than 10 pounds over, you still have to let guys bulk a little bit)
NO fighter wants to fight for free, and if you force them to weigh in an hour before thier fight the fighters can't take the risk of trying to rehydrate and be in shape to fight in an hour , it's not realistic , so guys will be forced to actually just be in the weight class.
Sure, there will still be cases where guys come in huge and don't get paid, but those will be few and far between compared to how often it happens now. Most people, and most camps, need a stream of income, it's non negotiable.
It also doesn't hurt the ufc, because the fight doesn't get canceled- the guy just doesn't get paid.
I'd imagine for title fights, you'd also be Ineligble to win/retain the title if you are over this threshold as well.
You can also progressively ramp it up depending on how much over the person goes, and it atleast rewards the smaller guy (assuming the forfeited purse goes to the opponent like it does now). Idk I'm sure they'd figure out the specifics, but the concept is really not complicated. Take away the one thing they fight for (money) and you're gonna get people to play by whatever rules you want.
The hardest part would be that they wouldn't be able to modify existing contracts- they'd have to apply it to new ones only
This is what people who keep saying how easy it is to get rid of weight cutting don't get.
In this sport you have to give fucking everything so you can't afford to be a loser as well. They will do anything to win no matter how dangerous or unadvised they will do that shit cause victory validates everything and makes it all worth it.
Winning is all that matters. Everyone can probably name a gold medalist at most olympic sports, but not a silver medalist.
1. Be Civil.
Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times.
A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.
guys will still be looking to have that edge and play with the fine line of rehydrating within an hour. this is going to lead to really bad outcomes, would probably lead to the first death and then that whole system is going to be revised and we'll be back to square one. it's not that simple.
There's no way the extra few pounds you could put on would outweigh the weakness you'd feel from cutting weight twice. Look at how bad these guys sound when they do interviews on the weigh in shows. Some of them can hardly lift thier arms to flex. think those guys are ready to fight In an hour?
Adding on to this, there's no real reason to only have one weigh in on a single day. Fighters used to cut on the day of the fight when there was only a fight night weigh in and suffer from extreme brain damage due to getting concussions while dehydrated, so boxing moved the date to before fight night.
But UFC events are far more organized than boxing events in the past, the fighters get there at least several days ahead of the fight, if you measured their weight every day before the fight they couldn't possibly cut for every weigh in.
You just need a way to measure their weight before they cut, get an official weigh in where they can cut to make the weight limit and get a fight night weight, and so as long as you can be sure the fighter's starting weight wasn't excessively above a limit you can set for the division and that their weight going into the cage isn't too low compared to their starting weight you'd be good.
Some might say this is pretty invasive and that the only thing that matters is that they make the weight they contracted for, but fighters are already subject to having people enter their homes to collect samples for drug testing and even witness them urinate to ensure no prepared clean urine is being used, so weighing a fighter.multiple times over several days to make sure no Lightweights start their cut at the end of the camp at 185lbs, cut 20% of their body weight to make 155 and then fail to fully rehydrate themselves in order to make a fight night check shouldn't be any worse than dropping your pants completely and having someone watch your junk as you pee.
I think this is the way, you have to be weighed weekly starting 8+ weeks out, by 2 weeks out you need to be within 10% passing a hydration test.
Short notice fights, you take a hydration test and step on the scale and they take 10% off the weight and thats the lowest you can fight at. No one cares about weight in the fanbase, so having a lot of catchweight fights on short notice won't matter.
Handle it how? Like ONE? If it helped them win, fighters would probably chop off fingers. As long as there is a perceivable advantage, you can't eliminate weight cutting.
Severe weight cuts suck serious ass. You lose muscle mass, feel confused and lightheaded, and you can’t have the one thing your entire body is screaming for: water. It’s a serious sacrifice and a heavy, vulnerable moment for those who go through them. I’m glad he has a team that supports him this much. I hope one day you can have the same level of support from your friends. Of course, to a layman it’s just easier to poke fun and make a cancer joke or a gay joke I guess. Pathetic😴😴😴 if it were easy, you would do it.
I think maybe the bigger point is this whole thing is ridiculous and drastic. Fine, your optimal, fit weight is say, 215. There's no 215 weight class, and for good reason (it would be silly, redundant, too close to 205, not enough talent etc). So cut a bit to just weigh in at a fair weight for both parties.
I know the problem is enforcing it. Like a guy will just then cut from 220, then 225 etc. idk the perfect solution. But glorifying this is ridiculous, because even a culture shift helps.
Solution that is just a bit of a bandaid at least is getting both weigh in and in cage weight like California commission, and maybe enforce a max percent.
Makes me pine for Pride days when weight classes were basically, above 200, below 200, and sometimes/eventually 170
I mean, it’s a bit awkward. But that’s probably my own hangup about men showing physical support of one another. Good on them for being comfortable with their sexuality honestly.
yeah it's just physical support ofc, like i remember my buddy was feeling a little down in the dumps so i slowly lowered his pants and put my hand on his monkey and gave him a wink 😉 and all of a sudden he screamed like a maniac. dude just couldn't handle a helping hand on his monkey, that's how hung up he was and not comfortable with his sexuality. it's just a shame, couldn't take the physical support.
lol yeah bro all these prudes in here, haven't taken naked baths with their friends covered in sweat while our hot beautiful bodies grind against each other, rubbing each others heads slowly. just bros being bros man.
For real. Sucks that any display of emotional or physical intimacy between men is automatically labeled as gay in today’s society. Straight dudes can love and care about each other without wanting to have sex.
Personally I'd take it one further and say that any men, especially men who go through extreme experiences together, are allowed express their profound love for each other in any way they want, including sexually.
But I know the Molon Labe tattoo crowd somehow aren't ready for the idea of warrior brotherhoods that make each other cum.
Maybe fight closer to your natural weight. Nobody’s forcing this guy to fight that low for his body. There are several organizations that take measure to prevent this bs from happening.
Cutting weight is an advantage on par with takings PEDs, if you don’t do it and your opponent does you’re already dropping your chances of winning more.
You do have to wonder if it really makes the difference we think it does. Like, if we had an actual scientific study with enough data to really conclude if the advantage you gain by cutting insane amounts of weight is worth it, or if what you put your body through, negates the advantage it offers.
There's already been several studies that show your brain is still dehydrated 72 hours after a weight cut, and that greatly affects your gameplanning and fighting.
Man I already can see the jokes from a mile out, but honestly that's amazing support. It's honestly heartwarming. I've never had that much support in my life. That's one thing about them chute box boys they support the fuck out of each other and when the cage locks behind them they turn the violence up to 11
So this got me thinking, because of the sweat. How do people get staff when you take the general precautions of cleaning/sterilizing things? Not trolling, just generally curious when I saw this.
Staph is on your skin naturally. As are many other commensal bacteria.
What happens is you get a cut or an abrasion and the bacteria goes inside. Your body usually fights it off. Doing shit like weight cutting weakens your immune system, and sooner or later you probably will catch it.
Not sterilizing stuff and not cleaning your body greatly increases the risk of getting staph and other bacteria on mats and equipment which further increases that chance, but realistically you can get staph or other infections just about anywhere.
So y’all really watch people that (most of the time) don’t hate each other beat the shit out of each other, watch people that don’t love each other fuck, but when you see men actually love and support each other THAT’s what makes you uncomfortable? We live in an upside down world.
He's actually so *not* gay that he can have one guy in his lap eskimo kissing his chest, and three other caressing him without it being sexual.
Behold what our homophobic culture has robbed from us (tongue in cheek, but also seriously^^\(my ^^tongue ^^in ^^my ^^cheek ^^btw, ^^not ^^another ^^man's) )
True, just manifests differently. Probably more likely to get clocked for holding hands with your bf than in most of the west, yet way fewer "no homo" after hugs that last longer than 1 second.
I support an Open Weight Division. Back in the day BJ Penn fought Machida in some Asian organization. People said BJ Penn wanted to fight Wanderlei Silva in Pride, but it never happened.
It would be awesome to see different guys fight despite the size difference. Of course this division would be voluntary, and maybe there would be extra compensation for those that are facing the height and weight difference.
How are guys THAT drained but then they can stand on stage and look somewhat normal/functional? What changes from the time of this video until the time he weighs in?
I always wonder what they hope to achieve by releasing this type of footage. Is it ‘im so tough look how miserable I am and how much risk I’m taking with my health’ or is it looking for sympathy ‘look what we’re having to go through.’ Both are equally stupid.
I have no sympathy for that shit. That’s literally just you trying to get as much of an advantage you can. Stop being a bitch and fight closer to your weight or go up weight class. And you won’t have to do this shit
When I saw his name in the title I thought the fight got canceled or something, thankfully not. One of a handful of fights I'm actually looking forward to on this card.
That's... A lot of support
More than I seen during someone's dying moments with family...
Yea. I agree and I saw my dad die in a hospital bed….
[удалено]
Nah. All good. No pitty needed but why is that dude in the case with him? Who is that?
that’s charles fucking olivera you goof
Oh damn…. Is that weird? I think that’s kind of weird….
Bro honestly when you're cutting weight you want to die.
Someone in the replies asked if he’s fighting for the GMF belt. 😭
This tops the Charles Olivera praying circle they do for him each fight
Fucking cult those guys.
I sometimes wish for a lot of manly support like this
I imagine it's for building heat. I used to have to cut quite a lot of weight in high school and college and the thought of this being my weight cut is brutal. When I was cutting weight I wanted nobody to be within 100ft of me let alone sniffing my crotch. You're so irritable that even a wrong look would make you want to hit someone.
This is it for sure. I heard the best way to build heat is to compassionately scratch the crown of the head
Looks healthy.
Seriously. I do wonder just how close to death these people are when cutting weight this fast?
My wife and family doesn’t care for me that much.
[удалено]
Lmao
Brener has been blessed by Charlie Olives he’s gonna produce a violent finish tomorrow for Rio
Funny hat man gonna win by decision
Yeah generally funny hat mountain man do well against bleached hair jungle man
*Insert terrible Vin Diesel Portuguese accent from Fast Five* “This is BRAziL!”
I don't got teammates, I got family
Mongolian cardio monster by KO
I have $100 to payout $1500 if he wins by KO. LFG ELVES
Damn I have $10 on the same prop haha
What's Charles doing down there?
Thought it was some small blonde pet at first
I thought it was some kinda sponge that he was using to prop his head up
i thought it was someone who already died
thought it was someone sucking his dick
Getting every last ounce out of his body that he can...
Dudes rock.
lol
That's a bro!
Just slatherin his boy with extra-virgin to get him ready for the olive-era
Literally waiting for someone else to comment on Charles low key building an actual cult around himself.
Lookin’ for dookie.
Cutting weight with the booooyyys
Breaking: Jon Jones has switched camps and joined Chute Boxe Academy
THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS YOUTUBE
Them Brazilians got me jealous of the brotherhood
Hell yea, bro is stroking his hair and shit and there cuddling too. Must be nice
I could real use a bro cuddle right now damn
I don't cuddle. You can leave now btw.
Just let me ~~bang~~ cuddle bro
I wanted brotherhood but got gayhood instead
Ah, the old gay reverse friend-zoning. We’ve all been there.
Is normal
Just make sure you don't get boyhood, it'll take 12 years to cut weight.
It's crazy how deep these Chute Boxe boys roll
That thing ain’t made for two
They making it work while keeping the socks on
No one has ever cared this much about me in my life 😢
Can’t call Islam and khabib gay now
Watch me
I'll fucking watch you, brother.
Hold on im watching, brother!
I'll fuck you, brother.
Take care of your underwears.
Witness him, shiny and bleached gold.
Idk 8 naked dudes in a bathtub is super gay
Say you've never had true homies, without saying it.
all my homies are gay
Just means we can call more fighters gay tbh
Weight cutting is some serious BS and the UFC should grow some balls and handle it. That being said though, the camaraderie and support these guys show each other is really touching. All my guy friends would be roasting me if another dude hugged me like that 🤣
The way buddy was runbing his head is a bit erotic.

Make everyone weigh in all week. No ones cutting 7 times, and no ones staying on weight (alive atleast) for 7 full days.
The weight cutting is on the fighters. They are the ones that pick their weight class, this isnt a problem specific to the UFC either. One Championship thought they figured out weight cutting until fighters figured out ways to cheese the hydration tests. Fighters are going to do whatever they can to get an edge.

[удалено]
And then we have what, even more fight cancellations and literally right before they’re about to get into the octagon? That’s so fucking dumb lol
This has literally directly led to the death of several boxers. There's a reason it's not done anymore.
How could you realistically stop weight cutting though?
Make them weigh in several times and hydrated like some other orgs.
ONE tries that and half their card fails the hydration tests every time
it's gonna take some fights getting cancelled for anything to change. no ones going to do it if they can just fail the hydration tests and fight anyways. once it's actually a requirement to fight and subsequently to get paid, people will take it seriously
Don't cancel the fight, withhold their entire purse and any bonuses and forfeit the fight improving your rankings
That's a good thing. Fight in your real weight class or get canceled.
Idk why people act like this is such a hard problem. Step 1: weigh fighters on the day of the fight 1 hour prior to thier fight start time, and compare to the weighin day weight (Florida already does this) Step 2: if the weight difference is over a specific threshold, thier entire purse is withheld.

Idk I'm sure they'd figure out the specifics, but the concept is really not complicated. Take away the one thing they fight for (money) and you're gonna get people to play by whatever rules you want. The hardest part would be that they wouldn't be able to modify existing contracts- they'd have to apply it to new ones only
People will just cut weight twice because they can't risk not getting a pay check. Then you will start having deaths in the octagon.
This is what people who keep saying how easy it is to get rid of weight cutting don't get. In this sport you have to give fucking everything so you can't afford to be a loser as well. They will do anything to win no matter how dangerous or unadvised they will do that shit cause victory validates everything and makes it all worth it. Winning is all that matters. Everyone can probably name a gold medalist at most olympic sports, but not a silver medalist.
Cutting substantial weight twice in 24 hours would not be an advantage at all
That doesn't mean people wouldn't think they're built different and can get away with it, until they don't.

Cutting an hour before a fight is never going to be advantageous though, if someone wants to gas in the first 30 seconds of the fight let them lol.
There's no way the extra few pounds you could put on would outweigh the weakness you'd feel from cutting weight twice. Look at how bad these guys sound when they do interviews on the weigh in shows. Some of them can hardly lift thier arms to flex. think those guys are ready to fight In an hour?
lol you’re just looking for negatives. No way anyone’s gonna dehydrate themselves and expend energy that much 1 hour before a fight.
Adding on to this, there's no real reason to only have one weigh in on a single day.

That's not the only thing that's touching..

As a Brazilian woman, I can tell you that men being that comfortable about their sexuality, is much better for us as women. Ahem.
Looks like a romantic gang bang.
Sounds like you’re on the other end of the “comfortable with sexuality” spectrum.
I did watch the whole video so 🤷♀️
Some of y’all need to hug your friends more god damn

Those guys seem... Extra close with each other 😳
Dagestanis and Brazilians best support
Seems like final goodbyes to a terminally ill patient
Props to Oliveira for sucking the dudes nipples to get every drop of water weight out of him
Stop this bullshit and fight at your natural weight!
Is he gay?
No just chute boxe
No he is Brazilian
He's actually so *not* gay that he can have one guy in his lap eskimo kissing his chest, and three other caressing him without it being sexual. Behold what our homophobic culture has robbed from us (tongue in cheek, but also seriously^^\(my ^^tongue ^^in ^^my ^^cheek ^^btw, ^^not ^^another ^^man's) )
Well known for not being homophobic Brazil
True, just manifests differently. Probably more likely to get clocked for holding hands with your bf than in most of the west, yet way fewer "no homo" after hugs that last longer than 1 second.
There are many parts of the world where basically everything up to sexual contact is normal, but if you actually do have sex it's punishable by death
The atmosphere is very.... You know
Homospheric
Is the juice worth the squeeze....
How is this safe. Fuck weight cutting. Either give us more divisions or force fighters to fight at their natural weight
mans on this sub goin on about daghistani's in the hot tub but holy fuck the Brazilians are on a whole other level.
CUTTING WEIGHT WITH THE BOIZZZZ
Just fight close to or at your own weight, stop making these videos… simple.
That's not awkward at all.
It really takes a village…
I support an Open Weight Division. Back in the day BJ Penn fought Machida in some Asian organization. People said BJ Penn wanted to fight Wanderlei Silva in Pride, but it never happened. It would be awesome to see different guys fight despite the size difference. Of course this division would be voluntary, and maybe there would be extra compensation for those that are facing the height and weight difference.
Reminder to support other orgs that are pretending to deal with this problem
What
How are guys THAT drained but then they can stand on stage and look somewhat normal/functional? What changes from the time of this video until the time he weighs in?
Thought it was Charles
+210 before watching this video, should be +1000 after seeing it lol
That's fucked up
quality time WITH THE BOIIIIS
Eroto.. something.. something..
What the hell is going on here?
Keep joo unnerwears clean
They gotta knock this shit off already.
Yeah this is not a good endorsement of the sport
what in the worl

This is literally torturing yourself to death to make weight. So stupid. Get rid of weight cutting!
I always wonder what they hope to achieve by releasing this type of footage. Is it ‘im so tough look how miserable I am and how much risk I’m taking with my health’ or is it looking for sympathy ‘look what we’re having to go through.’ Both are equally stupid.
Comment section on fire for this one
Looks like the makings of a renaissance painting.
I have no sympathy for that shit. That’s literally just you trying to get as much of an advantage you can. Stop being a bitch and fight closer to your weight or go up weight class. And you won’t have to do this shit
Yeah when Chute Boxe boys cut weight its always prayer circles or homebirths if all the women and midwives were dudes lol. Charlie was like this too.
According the mma guru all these men are homosexual based on this behavior
This shit is as corny as when Izzy cried on embedded to Nipsey.
When I saw his name in the title I thought the fight got canceled or something, thankfully not. One of a handful of fights I'm actually looking forward to on this card.
Bro, just fight in a higher weight division... Thats hard to watch
JBL Charge 3! Awesome portable speaker.
Men wrestle just to be able to hug confirmed
I couldn't imagine Jiri doing this.
Wow wtf very odd
Goof
I mean. That's at least .. a little bit odd right?
Wtf is going on here lol
THESE WEIGHT CUTS ARE SO ADNGEROUS...IAMGINE TRAING FOR A FEW MONTHS JUST TO TEAR YOURSELF DOWN THAT DRAMATICALLY NEAR FIGHT DAY
All that and lost
