    A breakdown of the food I eat while I'm cutting weight. For this fight I travelled to Milan to defend my Bellator Kickboxing title. There is no lack of amazing food in Italy. Even when you're dieting.

    As someone with IBS-M (basically just means I have a bad stomach and struggle with using bathroom and all that) I can say this would make me insanely constipated. Bananas are known for they're constipation effects, and peanut butter is very good just don't go overboard on it. Personally If I wanna cut weight I can just take a laxative and that gets out like Minimum of 5 lbs. Just saying this as a warning, before copying this, MAKE SURE YOUR BODY CAN.

    Bro, I have a catchweight mma fight coming up at 150 lbs and the weigh in is in two days... I have literally just stuck to salmon, avocado and chicken and no salt etc... My weight is good and I just need to cut 6-7 more lbs but I'm getting sick of the food. How safe is it to eat bananas and prosciutto two days before weigh in and how much can I eat, because I'm worried about the carbs and the salt...

    U seem like a compassionate and rational person. You should look into the ethics of your diet and educate yourself about what goes on behind the industries that profit from the exploitation of animals. The amount of unnecessary violence farm animals have to endure for products we dont need is something people should be aware of. Hope you look into it, and fight for those animals who can't defend themselves.

I definitely recommend you checkout Dorian Wilson's video on it, as well as anything fasting related from dr. Jason Fung. I've heard pro athletes can do OMAD (like a 2h window with up to 5000 calories) but it's definitely not for everyone. I do 48h fasts and day 2 of fasting you can really see the pounds fly lmao.

      That would be great. Except that you are undersized. I'm already undersized for featherweight.

      Most 145ers walk between 160-180lbs (the larger ones are in MMA).

Or the one's you should actually compete with depending on how you look at it. I understand why the weight classes. But the drawback for me is that the system is open for "messing" with. In the way that we see competitors loosing unhealthy amounts too fit in a "unnatural" class. Supposed athlethes looking actually quite unhealthy though muscular clearly to skinny medicly speaking. I am a Judo guy get the need but i feel the sytems in use are not cutting it. We see somethimes examples that are just crazy. In my eyes.

Which you didnt even know what that means. Very common terminology within combt sports. But no weight cut systems are not implemented in the organization he fights in. If he didnt cut any weight he would be fighting people potentially 20-30 lbs heavier than he is. That is an absolutely stupendously huge weight differential.
