“I run these weight cuts!” - One Pound Shorts
Do you still think Aldo will win?
Viewing It’s all a matter of whether he’s made the stylistic and conditional changes he needs to beat Max. If his cardio is improved and he brings his Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu into the mix, Aldo will win. He clearly is the better fighter skill wise, and he is much faster and stronger, but his cardio needs to be better to beat Max. Having more tools to use is also pivotal to beating Max, too. If these changes aren’t made, it will go the same way as last time. Max keeping a heavy pace, getting him tired, building his rhythm, and getting a finish. I don’t see how Max can win a decision, but his chances for a finish are bigger than any opponent Aldo has faced before.
@Jake A simple Yes or No would've sufficed.
Viewing I believe good reasons matter. I’m not just picking Aldo over Max because I want Aldo to win.
lh18927 _ If you ask me, Max is a much bigger threat to both Aldo and Conor, than Aldo and Conor are to each other.
"We're not here to take part, we're here to take cover" Jose Aldo's parts
LMAOOO the dude on the right was eating while Jose starves himself to death next to him Hahah
Its more dehydration than starving himself. Theres plenty of things to eat that weigh practically nothing.
like ur mom
theblazer old unfunny jokes fam.
The Notorious That's chewing gum, genius...
The Notorious Aldo may have looked at him at 0:14
Damn i hate weight cuts
Abdul Farah yeah it sucks
He should fight at 155 it’s up to aldo
Wilkinson he fought at 135 , woah
He drops his pants ... Which apparently weigh 1 pound
Daniel Ryan 1 pound poo😂🤣
They don't need to weigh exactly one pound ... I believe they use a scale that rounds up , they are using a old school scale so I assume it just needs to balance at 145 so if the shorts weight .25 pounds that might have been enough to get it to balance, again I'm using bro science so don't put all your faith in my theory
those shorts are the heavier kind, the fleece material sweatshorts, ye they got some weight on them.
Freddy bates they don't round up its a championship fight. You can't be over 145. You can come in 145.2lbs and they won't allow it
They will if the scale doesn't show the difference. What he's saying is the scale they use might show weight in 0.1 or 0.2 lb intervals, depending on how accurate it is. So theoretically Aldo could've weighed 145.8/9 the first time around, then dropped his pants and was 145.2/1. This would explain how the pants didn't necessarily have to weigh exactly 1 lb. They could be anything from 0.6 to 0.8 lb, or even more if Aldo was actually lighter himself.
I love how Ariel commentates mma like he's watching a lion sneak up on a gazelle on National Geographic
And now he made weight for his bantamweight debut, incredible discipline
Those are some heavy shorts.
It all started with Kelvin. This new organization must be giving guys a lot of leeway.
J M Joe Lauzon once dropped his One Pound skivvies, which were much smaller than those shorts, to make the 156 lbs. limit. Lol (If my memory serves me right it was Lauzon) . Joe Rogan says the obvious afterwards, "those are some Heeaavy boxer-briefs." Lol
I guess he had his hair gel in his pocket.
nemanja milosevic 😂😂
😅😅😅😅

For his hair dumbass
so underrated comment 😂😂

Ultimate Fighting Weight Cut Championship
Jeffrey J That's hilarious
One of these days someone in the ufc will die from weight cutting
vDuckers I wouldn’t wish that on nobody
His body language isn't great. I smell another W for Holloway
Everyone on RUclips is a specialist...
Not Serious don't have to be a specialist to see he doesn't look too great.
Not Serious we are experts in scaling RUclips for imperfection
Did you not see holloway weigh in ??
He's just exhausted from making weight. I don't see anything strange about his body language other than that.
Towelgate
Shortsgate
Beat me to it.
The Gypsy King Why are you referring to a controversial Cormier weigh-in?
WTF he looks like he's struggling to breathe here ? He should just move up man, if he loses tomorrow everyone will be calling for him to retire and I don't think he needs to, he just needs to go to 155.
Hate the new RUclips. You aren’t lying brotha now he’s talking about going down to 135 which is just sad to hear. I think he doesn’t believe in himself as much as he used to. Don’t blame him tho 155’s top 10 are full of killers.
Aldo is and has to be in the categori of Anderson Silva GSP Jon Jones and Demetrius Johnson the greatest ever!
Jacob st-Lucas facts fought the no 1 contender every time he only lost to other greats
I dont quite understand what you are talking about, can you be more plain?
Mcgregor was a fluke lucky shot, like JDS hit Cain velásquez with a lucky shot in the first minute, and the second and third fight JDS was almost beat to death, a complete massacre in both fights, of course mcgregor never wanted to rematch Aldo. So mcgregor is not a great he lost to Nate Diaz twice after, and Nate Diaz is one of the worst fighters ever. Max Holloway isn't a great either, he's a very very good fighter, he's SOLID and he's FAST but not a great, his fight with Aldo shouldn't have been stopped, but that doesn't matter cause Aldo is gonna beat him tomorrow
'Nate diaz is one of the worst fighters ever'.
Ummm... no.
Uhhhhhhh yes, he's lost 10 out of 29 fights,
19-10, in some of his losses he was almost beat to death, do your research.
People who are saying that these shorts didn't weigh 1 pound, and that they cheated, they could say he weighs 145 pounds in the first attempt if they wanted to cheat
No, doubt it. But it begs the question if the first (or second?) look at the scale was sloppy. It shouldn't be possible (just as 1 pound underwear shouldn't be possible). I'm sure they weren't cheating but something odd happened.
MP Lovecraft this kind of scale itself is insecure
If he was legit 146 i don't mind the cheating.
He didn't weigh exactly 146.0lbs and then 145.0.. he coulda gone from 145.7 to 145.4.
"You'll weight nothing" Aldo's shorts
1:10 man on the left having a little peek at the Brazilian goodies
*The shorts could have weighed as little as half a pound (145.75 lbs - 145.25 lbs) since the scale is only read to the nearest half a pound.*
They looked zombified man...scary for their health man
treis531 Khabib came close to death
they taking years off their lives, for sure
Damn Aldo's prev 13 fights were title fights
Altair Ibn La-Ahad the second Edgar fight wasn't a title fight
*Yes it was*
Not Serious yes it was it was for the interim belt
Yeah but 11 of them were title defences.
Altair Ibn La-Ahad he’s the first featherweight champion lmao. All of his fights were title defenses up to Conor
And hes trying to do 135lbs for UFC 245.
Look at his eyes, he was crying before making weight. It's the same eyes when he cried when he lost. You can tell he cried before weighing in.
They need to move weigh-ins closer to the fight in order to force fighters to fight closer to their natural weight.
crymeadinner you sound stupid
No that wont work. Fighters will still push it and would have less time to recover. Thats why they do early weigh in.
Ricky VanDusen If done properly it can work. The point is, if you're one of those fighters who will fight anyone, anytime, like many say they are, then fight at your natural weight, don't contradict and torture yourself by cutting tens and tens of pounds.
crymeadinner eveyone scared to figjt at their natural weight lol, imagine khabib at 185 or 170? Lol he would get destroyed lmao
How would it be done properly? Anyone can throw out an idea but how would it work? Just moving weigh ins closer to the fight is a terrible idea by itself, so how would you make it work.
Just weigh the shorts separately and find out the truth
How this man is gonna make 135 is wild haha.
The weight cuts are gnarly! !
Wow these weight cuts are rough!
Best Aldo we've ever seen bruh
"Jose drops his shorts which, apparently, weigh one pound." 😂😂😂
Big drama show
RUTHFELLA haha triple g ?
The whole world should adopt a ONE championship style weighing
He looked unsteady until he made the 145 then he looked fine and confident as he walked out.
Props Ariel, love the whisper commentary, always have
Did they think they'd trick us by clapping after she said 146? 😂
All these people acting surprised by his shorts being controversially heavy... am I the only one who remembers when Joe lauzon made the 156 limit by taking off One Pound Skivvies?? Lol
Its casuals that never weighed in. Anyone who has wrestled in highschool knows how much underwear weighs and if your close you have to get on the scale naked.
Why does it sound like im on the national geography channel.
Aldo legends
Money on a Holloway KO looking pretty good after this
bout to get me some 3 pound shorts tomorrow!
Y'all are saying stuff about the shorts
1. He may not be an actual whole pound over
2. He's cutting, so more than likely they had sweat in it
My school clothes in highschool weighed like 5 pounds so I don't see why a baggy pair of shorts isn't at least 1 pound.
Its not that the shorts weighs 1 pound. He could've weighed in at 146.3 with and 145.9 without. Im pretty sure those counter balance type scales only read down to a pound (no decimals) iirc.
Aldo looks really sick and like he hasnt slept for 4 days, we want the old Aldo, he can win vs whoever he fights, if he is mentally there he can win.
What are the odds those shorts weigh more than half a pound at best?
For the idiots in the comment section. Takes off shorts which removes at least an ounce. He's now 145 and 15 ounces instead of 146lbs. Forgive the simplicity of my example, but you have to understand the caliber of brains we're dealing with here.
Neither of you are right but at least your searching for truth which I respect. I'm telling you as a guy who weighed in an counted on my Hanes underwear being .8 when I weighed in. I can tell you shorts weigh more then these people think. basketball shorts that are baggy are easily a pound.
Damn the toll of cutting weight on a fighter looks really draining not just physically but mentally I guess that’s why not everyone can be fighters
Anyone else feel something is fishy with these weigh ins? People always missing weight by a pound and then instantly losing that pound on the second attempt. First Lee, then Gastulem, and now Aldo. All in the main event. Feels like they are paying off the officials to not lose their main events.
Don't Fear The Reaper stop ✋ talking
first DC leaning on towl
All of you people that say, "why don't fighters fight their natural weight" the problem with that is you can have a bad weight cut even on your natural weight if you get too cocky or procrastinate. Look at Gastelum I'm pretty sure that is his natural weight and he still almost missed.
That's a old school trick they do, they act weak and drained then they come explosive
He looked knackered before he started
And now he is fighting at 135 looking like a corpse bruh
I think he should try to fight Lightweight next. He could be even more dominant in that division than he ever was in FW. No need to sacrifice cardio because of cutting weight to the verge of death.
he had his cell phone in his shorts pocket LMAO how the hell can his shorts weigh a pound
That look on aldo's face when he came out was the look of someone who just threw up. Not good when you need to do that minutes before a weigh in.
.20 to .25, looks broken. Need to do something about these weigh cuts
So he's struggling to make weight and decides that is the best time to put on the biggest shorts he can find? Clever.
Man, this is dangerous. The man can barely hold himself up and we let him fight? This is not safe.
people understand that if you add sweat to clothing it adds weight. try exercising to lose weight then weigh your clothing.
why not use digital scale?
HE levitated to remove the last pound.
It's so pointless, they put all the weight back on 24 hours later, it's completely nonsensical.
"apperently" - Ariel "sherlock" Helwani
That must have been a mistake with the scale. Theres no way he can hit the mark by dropping the shorts
The guy talking must come from the golf network.
Since when does shorts have a weight of 1lb? It doesn't matter if "those scales are more precise" get an electronic one there geez
Apparently his shorts weigh 1 pound, this fool is sarcastic 😂
Ariel has never cut weight. Is Ariel an expert on how much shorts weigh now?
And THE NEW UFC 146 pound champ in the world!!!
These weight cuts are ridiculous he looked like he was going to die standing there
Jose "Gone In 13 Seconds" Aldo. #BrokenMan
USADA > Jose Waldo.
That cut it taking a lot out of him when your young you body bounces back faster & Aldo has been champ so long the division finally caught up he is still better then 85%+ of the division will see I think Aldo is done IMO
Sounds like you are commentating at the crucible.
Fighters need to start fighting at their own weight! These weight cuts are ridiculous and dangerous! The fighters aren’t even close to their weigh in weight on fight night anyway so it’s ridiculous....
Look at his face and eyes,must of been a tough weight cut
They turn on an antigravity field to help the fighters make the final weight.
Ariel finna go weigh those shorts and expose Dana White...😂😂😂
Why does aerial have to sound like a creep
THOSE ABS ALDO
Max looked the same. Both fighters looked completely JUST
So in order to cut weight fighters don’t drink water ? Just curious.
Well it starts out in high school wrestling but its more then that. You wear plastics and try to keep your activity level high so you sweat the weight off. During this time most people don't drink or eat anything because they are worried they put it all back but I took sips of water which helped me cut the last pounds easier then others.
I think fighters should experiment fighting at different weight classes to see how they feel and perform. Sad to see how much they do to their bodies trying to cut and make weight.
Weigh ins narrated by how every you spell his name, this is what we have come to people. Morgan freeman would be great at this.
1 pound shorts - impressive
Dam Aerial you sound like your calling a golf tournament haha
That guy in black jacket looks like maffia boss
He has my ideal physique
Meaning he just made under 146 so they counted it as 145 probably 145.5
I have a bad feeling about this
Looks like it's time for Aldo to go to 155.
Sometimes these weight cuts are ridiculous man 🤦🏽♂️
*Looks worse than Max at this weight cut. Brutality.*
Aldo got aboot 6yrs on Max.
Edit:
u know?
Those are the heaviest shorts ever sewn together !!
he walks defeated every where he goes now poor guy.. it's OK champ
Gotta pull the socks out of the front of his shorts.
even max looked horrible. this is way too dangerous to continue
Why do his shorts weigh 1 pound
Ariel "he appears to be a little out of sorts" Hewani
The short more than likely did not weigh 1 full pound, They probably weighed just enough to push him out of the 145 range into the 146 it could have been by a few ounces this happens all the time
Are you allow to use a jet pack for this?
That’s a heavy shorts.
Yooo whats up with aldo now?? Why his career going down now
No way he's going to have the gas to go five rounds with max.
