SPORTS Anthony Johnson to cut 65lbs to make weight

[EG6]

Hardy worried Johnson won't make weight

"I saw him a few months ago, he was about 235lbs," Hardy told Middle Easy. "Even if it was nine months ago, to lose 65lbs is a push.

"It's going to be tough on his body. He struggles to make weight anyway when he's fighting regularly, so coming down from that weight - I don't know.

"I'm a little concerned because I don't want a percentage of his purse, I want the win bonus."

He is a monster 170lber but fuck 235 is big to get back down from.

 

[machine]

thats a big cut.

imagine fedor at 170

 

[brolli]

wtf. did he gain 10 more pounds?

 

[Zoolander]

Well thats dumb.

 

[dixie2.0]

Did anyone see him on Inside MMA about 4 months ago? He looked every bit of 240lbs.

 

[Zoolander]

Fuck bro go to 185. Shit is super weak at 185, why cut to 170?

 

[momentum]

he should move up to lhw

cause if you're going to cut 50lbs., minus whale go all out and do 65

 

[saabguy]

and dan hardy should worry less about his opponent not making weight and more about not getting his mohawk knocked off

skip to about 2:45 or 4:30 to see Anthony towering over Bones and Maia, both of which fight in higher weight classes

He had 6 piece bucket in each cheek.

 

[Helios]

guys like this just need to fight at a higher weight class.

 

[checkii]

his last fight he came out a couple weeks beforehand and said he didnt think he could make weight.

guy is a clown.

 

[iCEgECKO]

He said he was 219 today during the UFN.

 

[maks]

Yeah this guy really lets himself go

He missed weight against Yoshida. Anyone else?

 

[woot]

oh lawrds.

arlovski is a pretty good sized hw too.

 

[Cro Cop]

He's out of his mind. He kills himself to make weight every time at WW - nearly passed out weighing in for his fight against Kos.

Do yourself a favor: go to MW. Or, man the fuck up and fight where you really belong, LHW. But cutting a zillion lbs to WW does him a great disservice in terms of his short-term ability and longevity in MMA.

 

[Ghost of Swayze]

insane

i dont even get how he does it, he should write a how to book

 

[yawzway]

That can't be healthy.

 

[Kuet]

I hope Hardy kicks his ass

 

[Etherized]

 

[Trueno]

oh man thats going to be tough.

i help a friend cut from 203lbs to 170, he hasn't made 170 since he was in HS but he did it but he was hurting! this was 3-4 weeks in cutting.

 

[checkii]

it's almost like he is chopped into photos to look bigger than he really is. but he is actually that fucking huge.

if he misses weight and Hardy wrecks his shop, i think dana will send him packing.
