So a year ago he would have had another 5 hours make the scale.

And

Again the UFC doesn't have a real backup plan. This fight was 50/50 at best from the start. How about having someone within driving distance ready to go. It's in F'n Vegas for Christ's sake
You in Vegas yet?

He was hospitalized. A year ago, 5 years ago, wouldn't matter, doctors wouldn't clear him to fight. Even if he were allowed, he shouldn't since it is a health risk.

Still no official word on the actual cause. Are you saying an extra 5 hours could not potentially help allow someone to make weight?

Not if they are hospitalized and need IV's.

Damnit. How did Khabib ever think he was going to be champion if he can't even make weight?

So I wake up at 7am to finish my cut. Me having 4 hours instead of 9 could definitely effect how I go about losing those last lbs.

If you have to be hospitalized while trying to make weight then you should move up to a higher division.
I agree, unless you make some overall lifestyle changes and walk around at a lower weight. I think a lot of weight cutting issues are caused by poor planning and bad timing. He's made it before. Don't blow up between fights as much and fight week won't be as bad.

I agree that the 5 hours would help but these guys have to adjust the timing of their cuts. It sucks to have to sleep depleted but they know the circumstances, you know?

Why not just start cutting weight earlier? (legit q)
Of course that's an option
Weight cutting is the main problem and if the fighters need to start losing their last few lbs starting at 4am. The system is fucked.
