THE BRUTALITY OF WEIGHT CUTTING

It's common for fighters to cut down from more than 40 pounds just to make weight for their divisions. This process involves intense dehydration and exhaustion.
Imagine a fighter exerting their body so much just a day before their fight

There's a strong unspoken pressure to conform because if one fighter is cutting weight, others feel they need to do the same to remain competitive. It creates a cycle where everyone keeps pushing the boundaries, even if they know it's not the healthiest choice.If everyone were to abandon weight cutting, the sport could evolve, prioritizing health and performance over arbitrary weight limits.
