      ​@_timetravels one time i had a spontaneous bloody nose and it was a real bad one. No paper towels or anything in sight, but an empty solo cup was right there so I let it drip into the cup for a little bit until I could find a paper towel. Within a few seconds, a thick pool of blood will congeal and turn into a thick paste. Really nasty

But knowing my diet has to be perfect I can’t skip my runs and I’m training and recovering as hard as I can in order to make weight makes my feel unstoppable.

      This exactly. Imagine if fighters were NOT in terrible physical and mental shape the day before a fight. I have a feeling fights might be even better. This is just the terrible chain logic saying that as soon as someone does it, everyone else has to in order to not be at a disadvantage. It's terrible for the sport, terrible for the fighters, and the UFC really needs to set up some rules against it.

      I feel like weight classes should factor in walking around weight. USADA could just put them on a scale in addition to drug testing. 10 lbs max over your weight class would stop 20 lb advantages.

    As a pro I got it down to a science where I would water load. 5 4 3 2 1. So 5 gallons the 1st day and work my way down to 1 then the day after my last gallon I would cut weight. I'd do 2 boiling hot baths at 15 to 30 minutes max. Would cover up in sweats and blankets after each bath. The most I've cut was 28.7 lbs in 3 days. Shit sucked and to top it off my opponent came in 6lbs over lol
