Cutting weight

[battleworn]

This is sad and tragic for a number of reasons but also a very timely subject in MMA. A young farang Thai Boxer living in thailand has died from possible heat stroke while cutting weight for a fight.

Fuck that. One of the things that really pisses me off today.
5 kg is fine, I guess. I prefer same day way ins.

70 fights with 15 since last year. If he's cutting weight for all of them that can't be healthy...

I agree. He was way too young and should have been watched and monitored more closely during the weight cut.

The family established a gofundme page to help bring him home:

Help raise £5000 to help cover the costs of bringing our beloved warrior Jordan home & to help towards the funeral to take some strain away from his family

Some of his fights

this ammount of fights is common in Thailand and due to this sheer frequency in which they fight they don't cut much weight there. I'm obviously speculating but this is more likely to be related to a CNS disease than dehydration from extreme weight cutting.

Aye i agree. Still can't be great for your general health. Not disputing the normality of it...
