[VIDEO] CAN I LOSE 10% OF MY BODYWEIGHT OVERNIGHT - THE REAL DANGERS OF WEIGHT CUTTING IN MMA

This is the raw brutality of weight cutting, the documentary produced by BBC3 on the Bellator fighter takes you from the start of the weight cut to the end of the fight and perfectly captures the difficulties that fighters have making weight.

This issue is largely caused by a lack of weight classes in MMA, therefore this is almost an exclusively MMA problem, in MMA the weight classes are every 10 or 15 pounds even 20 pounds and the heavyweight division being a range of 60 pounds. This leaves athletes cutting large amounts of weight to make the lowest division in order to be the biggest they possibly can be to gain the size advantage which is crucial for wrestling which is a big part of MMA as it can control where the fight takes place.
