Ive said it before, I'll say it again, extreme weight cutting (especially at lower weights when you break it down to percentages) have always been, are, and will continue to be completely fucking stupid. You want to try to make 170 when you walk around at 210, well, I have zero sympathy for you.
Frankie and Rumble are perfect examples of fighters who have benefited from fighting closer to their natural weight instead of toeing the line of kidney failure.
I definitely do but mainly because Luke is a tool. The added bonus of making things even more jacked up is great though.
Luke looked horrible after his cut
these guys should have fought at 205 and saved their health
Belts mean dick anyways

He looked lean but I wouldn't say he looked horrible. He still ran up the stairs and was pretty active before being weighed.
He's a guy who has a frame for 205 but I don't think he looks bad at 185. Definitely one of the biggest guys (if not the biggest guy) in the division though.

Hey he did lose an extra 0.6 pounds in 2 hours lol
You're not trying if you're not cheating.
I may or may not have been witness to a donkey show in Mexico...it was quite a bit different than any MMA I’ve ever seen.
Yoel fights for gay Jesus!
I read elsewhere that the reason he never took off his sunglasses was because he had red eyes from bursting blood vessels in his eyes during the cut
and when he gets there he'll find Jake Shields in a trench coat already unwrapping the shadiness
did you see his interview with megan olive?
I know it is normal for a cut like that but he was fookin hurting
Just makes me sad to see two so talented and skilled extreme athletes both competing at a fraction of their potential from being drained/dehydrated and starved.
It was more a behavior thing than the eye test that I noticed
how does that happen?
looked pissed, weak, and thirsty....voice was weak and barely could get his thoughts out
that unhealthy 30 hours from a fight is a sad state IMO
probably constipated and He had a big 2 lb @conor mcgregor nut hugger in his bowels that didn't come out that morning
I saw that and thought the same. He obviously made weight, so good for him - he got it done. These cuts though...it’s an issue. I’m excited to see him at 205.
But he didn’t look good. Breathing heavy and could hear how dry his mouth was, and it seemed like he was having a bit of trouble stringing words together.

The guy is typically awkward and uncharismatic. He seems to be fighting an internal battle to try to be more entertaining on the mic whilst knowing he's just not that good at it. Hell of a fighter though.
So I didn't notice honestly.

I think he's just a shitty public speaker
Yes I recognize that for sure....
I also listened to two interviews of him on podcasts this week and so I had a baseline for his speech patterns
Just saying he may be as diminished or more than Yoel
IMHO
If there wasn't such a flagrant double standard, I'd agree.
