Six UFC Fighters Who Cut Dangerous Amounts Of Weight

Conor McGregor

The difference in size is ridiculous when you look at it side by side, but never has it been more apparent than with UFC featherweight champion Conor Mcregor. He almost looks like a completely different person.

There’s good reason that many people believe he’ll never compete at 145 pounds again, where he cuts around 20-30 pounds to make weight.

Ronda Rousey

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey drops a lot of water weight before fights, and it’s only going to get tougher under the new IV rules. As age goes up, the number of pounds a fighter is able to cut becomes lower too.

Given that she’s been off for a while, and probably won’t fight again until November, you have to imagine Rousey’s body could find it very hard to drop extreme amounts of weight in the future.
