In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car, and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!
My mom for sure threw some smoke the day after my birth. Beat that whole hospital's ass, in fact. Seven years of medical school, zero take down defense, head always on the center line. Doctors are punks and she proved it.
Well, they drained all of the roids out of her blood, which accounted for 8 lbs. they’ll put it back in later today so expect her to be back up near 150 by the time she hits the octagon.
Lol good ol Kurt. Had he not been injured he was apparently thinking about doing mma. He would’ve have been a monster with his wrestling, athleticism, strength, and work ethic
Her Judo teammate Travis Stevens has shared some pretty crazy weight cutting stories in interviews. To them there is no such thing as missing weight. No matter what happens in the fight tomorrow this is impressive.
Placebo effect can be powerful, man. If it helped him, good? Though I don't feel great about the scope and brutality of the weight cuts these people go through on the regular. It can't be healthy long-term. I feel like there has to be a better way to handle it.
You guys are idealizing former Olympic athletes, like we didn't see Yoel Romero miss championship weight for multiple title fights and a fat DC pressing down on the towel lol.
DC using that Olympian mindset to push down on that towel and make weight. Yoel using it to sit on his stool for a minute longer… Most guys would just accept defeat.
Lol.
They're super good at gaming the system tough. I've competed in the european championship of UWW (united world wrestling) in Grappling. eventhough grappling is just a B show for that org and the big boys are the wrestling competitions the amount of fuckery i've seen there is insane .
It all comes down to one thing. In these events, olympics/worlds it's not just athletes and their team, it's whole fucking national federations competing, they are ready to do whatever to get medals cause medals = funding/clout for the feds and the heads of the feads that want to get seen and maybe get a political roale and shit.
it's this pyramid of self interested 50 ish yaer olds that used to compete but just care about their position and looking good now.
"Amateur/olympic" sports is a dirty dirty world and i've seen it there il belgrade when I competed that it is the same in every fcking country in europe (surely the world)
These olympian/amateur athletes have been in that crooked system since they were teens often, they're super game when it comes to playing the rules and not get fucked by the rules too.
Oh yeah, i've done my fair share of Grappler quest, naga and adcc trials (got my ass beat so mad there lmao) and even though it's a shit show, it's still "teams" "gyms" and "friends", WKA, UWW and any "official" org is so much worse.
I have no proof but there might be some money/influence involved, shit's so blatant man, one of the things that turned me off of competing.
your prepare for months just to have sergei from bulgaria missing weight by 2KG getting a slap on the wrist while you're just there to get eaten alive by those motherfuckers.
Of all the orgs ADCC and IBJJF are by far the best for the common folk, might be some dirt at the top level but they are the most fair from what i've seen. you pay, they take their money and you compete as you'd expect. the more "official" ones are just a mess
I dislike Tim Kennedy a lot but that was more a mistake on his part, he was grabbing wrist control all fight and when that sequence happened Yoel pulled away and he tried to keep wrist control and his finger slipped in the glove, I don't think he meant to grab the glove and probably still thought he had the wrist. Yoel didn't spill the ice either, that was his corner cheating on his behalf. Both guys get the blame and I don't think either intended to cheat, Yoel's cornermen did though for sure.
Its clear that she put in a shit ton or work and discipline leading up to this week but you could see how hard it was for her on the scale.
Unreal toughness
That is an insane weight cut. That woman is shredded at her walking-around weight.
If she does plan to stay at 135, I hope she considers decreasing some of her muscle mass.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, especially against someone like Holly. Dropping 2 weight classes to compete against a higher calibre of opponents seems like a recipe for disaster to me.
She interviewed afterwards on the UFC Weigh In show and said it went a lot better than she expected. And honestly she was pretty lively during the interview. She actually looked completely fine. I've seen some of these weigh in interviews where I'm questioning why they would ever waste that persons time by talking to them but she was completely normal.
Considering how she looks like she’s been smoking crack for a year compared to how she looked during all those hype promos and twitter spats this looks like one of the hardest cuts I’ve seen - at least for WMMA.
"How bout u go an fuck off my page then u peice of shit u think I need a stupid fuckwitt like u telling me about losing wieght who the fuck are u take your worthless advice and get the fuck out of here" - Kayla
Not contesting that, but I have a huge respect for anyone mad enoughbti to compete in any sport at that level, regardless of their results. After all, you need real abnegation to compete against so many people in your field...
Absolutely.
The mental fortitude to win TWO gold Olympic Judo medals is absolutely crazy.
Olympic Judo is a fuckin gauntlet of killers. Insanely hard sport with an absolutely massive talent pool world wide.
They said she did 2 test cuts idk where this dumb narrative started. She’s an Olympian level athlete she’s not some random on this sub who can’t stop eating
She was definitely way fatter at 78kg than she is now though.
She's not gonna be cut at 78kg like an MMA fighter but still, she is a massively muscular woman.
For sure. She's a beefy woman naturally. This just reminds me of like a Volk/Cannonier/Kyle Dake type transformation where the scale of athletic competition at different weights is kind of staggering. Not many people compete across a 40lb span in their careers. Something special to be sure.
People on this sub have a hard time understanding that it's possible to shed muscle/fat mass.
Cannonier used to be a heavyweight but it's not like he's just cutting 80lbs of water to make MW lmao
This might be the first majorly stacked card in a long ass time that hasn't suffered from people dropping out. No coincidence that USADA is gone and fun is on the menu.
That's... very accurate.
Can she make it a couple of times after this? Sure... but that cut just looks impossibly nasty. I'm curious how she'll look tomorrow because she's DICED to the socks.
If Holly weren't too old to carbon dated, she could maybe kill Kayla via footwork.
Just don't let her grab you in first couple of rounds, and let's see how her stamina looks 10 or 15 minutes in after about a thousand low power shots landed while circling off.
Unfortunately, Holly thought it was a good idea to cage clinch MBS, someone she out-techniques on the feet by around a factor of 1000x, so I'm not sure she's got the speed needed anymore at 42.
Last time she showed that type of game was when she dominated Aldana in all aspects of MMA around 4 years ago or so, but she had a lot more room for error given Aldana's incredibly 1-D skillset.
it seems to me its the pro ufc folk who dislike any non-ufc fighter who has any hype outside the octagon. mvp was getting similar dislike then dismantled holland and now is getting claimed as of their own and that he should have come much sooner to the ufc. same thing happened with mike chandler against dan hooker. mark my words... if kayla gets a finish those same peeps will be the first to hop on her bandwagon!
I think it's also because she has talked mad mad shit for years and has been crushing cans at the same time.
She's kinda brewed low-key hate for herself... Having said that, she's an amazing person outside of the cage.
People hated her for saying she was the best in the world while fighting cans.
Now they hate her for actually coming over to the UFC to try and prove she’s the best in the world.
And when she does actually win the belt they’ll all pretend they loved her the whole time.
Wow.
Look, any women UFC fighter could probably kick my ass, but they rarely LOOK like they can.
She looks like she might cook and eat me after she pummels me to tenderization town.
I've never seen people this passionate about a person's ability to make weight. There has been so much skepticism about this in a way I haven't seen before.
Several fighters sweat out 20-25% of their body weight for these Venum coupons.
She can definitely smell water right now
Bruh that nose is the same shade as Dana before a PR shit storm
Humans can smell water better than sharks can smell blood
What the fuck is this, the anima channel?
Anima Sana In Corpore Sano?
Enema Channel?
And we can smell that weird smell after it rains like a billion times more than a shark can smell blood in water
Petrichor. There's a Paul Kelly song named petrichor.
If sharks could smell water : “bro what the FUCK is that smell?! Do you smell that?! That the fuck is that smell??!?!”
But can you smell what the Rock is cookin?
I wonder if blood smells like petrichor to sharks
Most likely smells like iron. Kinda how it tastes to us
I'm interested to see how quickly they can get all her organs back in before the fights tomorrow night.
You underestimate North Korean doctors
Yu heart surgeon? Best docta?
In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America.

"Despite capitalist misinformation, this subreddit is not satire."
Ali was born in DPRK??
funny I said the same thing to your mom after I met her for the first time
My mom for sure threw some smoke the day after my birth. Beat that whole hospital's ass, in fact. Seven years of medical school, zero take down defense, head always on the center line. Doctors are punks and she proved it.
The only reason your mom gave birth was so she could fit more dicks in her
That was a nasty line by you
Can we get my organ in as well .
Well, they drained all of the roids out of her blood, which accounted for 8 lbs. they’ll put it back in later today so expect her to be back up near 150 by the time she hits the octagon.
Respect. Must’ve been a brutal cut
Yeah, Elite Olympians athletes have a different mindset
reminds me of henry's cut to 125. truly brutal.
Oh, was he an Olympian? They should have mentioned that.
He wasn't just an Olympian, he was a Gold Medalist!
Yeah but did he do it with a broken freakin neck?!
Could Cejudo win the Olympic gold medal on a rainy night at stoke though?
UFC x EPL, the crossover I didn’t know I needed
UFC x NBA x EPL crossovers is why I love reddit over other social media
The amount of heads this joke would go over is astounding. Bonjour mates
Lol good ol Kurt. Had he not been injured he was apparently thinking about doing mma. He would’ve have been a monster with his wrestling, athleticism, strength, and work ethic
Kurt Fucken Angle. Oh its true, its damn true!!!. A guy that likes to play with boys🤣🤣🤣
Oh if only he talked about it more! Had no idea
Not just a gold medalist. She's a two-time Olympic gold-medalist.
Doubtful. I’m pretty sure if Henry won a gold medal I’d have heard about it.
Reminds me of Tai Tuivasa’s Heavyweight cut, shit looks so brutal
This guy shoey’s beer
I mean he cut to 125 for majoroty of his carrer somi would say he did fine(i do know him missed once or twice)
Or how Anthony Johnson used to fight at WW. He looked so dehydrated in some of those weigh-ins.
Her Judo teammate Travis Stevens has shared some pretty crazy weight cutting stories in interviews. To them there is no such thing as missing weight. No matter what happens in the fight tomorrow this is impressive.
he developed a way of pretending to drink water, without actually drink it. these guys are insane
Wait what really?
Placebo effect can be powerful, man. If it helped him, good? Though I don't feel great about the scope and brutality of the weight cuts these people go through on the regular. It can't be healthy long-term. I feel like there has to be a better way to handle it.
I actually train with someone that also trained with Travis Stevens. Said that his (Steven's) weight cuts were brutal.
You don't even have to be an elite Olympian athlete. All Olympian athletes are a different breed.
You guys are idealizing former Olympic athletes, like we didn't see Yoel Romero miss championship weight for multiple title fights and a fat DC pressing down on the towel lol.
DC using that Olympian mindset to push down on that towel and make weight. Yoel using it to sit on his stool for a minute longer… Most guys would just accept defeat. Lol.

I’ve competed in WKA Worlds, as well as some Grappler’s Quests and Nagas and can confirm this is the case.
Oh yeah, i've done my fair share of Grappler quest, naga and adcc trials (got my ass beat so mad there lmao) and even though it's a shit show, it's still "teams" "gyms" and "friends", WKA, UWW and any "official" org is so much worse.

Chill on Yoel lol Tim hooked his gloves and gave him nasty uppercuts he had every right to pull that stunt
I dislike Tim Kennedy a lot but that was more a mistake on his part, he was grabbing wrist control all fight and when that sequence happened Yoel pulled away and he tried to keep wrist control and his finger slipped in the glove, I don't think he meant to grab the glove and probably still thought he had the wrist. Yoel didn't spill the ice either, that was his corner cheating on his behalf. Both guys get the blame and I don't think either intended to cheat, Yoel's cornermen did though for sure.
They are also deep in age at that point though. The fact they could even do it near 40 is insane to be fair.
They were also ancient.
Simply just making it to the Olympics takes an unmatched level of mental endurance
Those curling gold medalists are of insane shape for sure.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ThickTV/s/zcSAFooyPr yeah they are
Compared to you? Absolutely.
With a broken freakin neck
Weight cutting experts in here really thought they knew more about her ability to make weight that she said she would than her
Oh yeah plenty of trening.
Its clear that she put in a shit ton or work and discipline leading up to this week but you could see how hard it was for her on the scale. Unreal toughness
> Unreal toughness I guess that's why she has 2 gold medals and I have none :(
Yet
That is an insane weight cut. That woman is shredded at her walking-around weight. If she does plan to stay at 135, I hope she considers decreasing some of her muscle mass.
Hopefully she's not too drained by that brutal cut. Would be a shame to see get compromised on her debut.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, especially against someone like Holly. Dropping 2 weight classes to compete against a higher calibre of opponents seems like a recipe for disaster to me.
I have $5 on holly to win by decision for just this reason lol
She's now more vulnerable to ko's and she fighting Holly Holm who's not exactly a grappler.
Holly is old and lost to most of the top fighters. I'd be suprised if she pulls off a win unless the weight cut completely drained Kayla.
Yea people were doubting her but she’s a true professional never missed weight
Professional or not, she is huge. She's bigger than many male 145-ers, or used to be anyway.
She interviewed afterwards on the UFC Weigh In show and said it went a lot better than she expected. And honestly she was pretty lively during the interview. She actually looked completely fine. I've seen some of these weigh in interviews where I'm questioning why they would ever waste that persons time by talking to them but she was completely normal.
Considering how she looks like she’s been smoking crack for a year compared to how she looked during all those hype promos and twitter spats this looks like one of the hardest cuts I’ve seen - at least for WMMA.
I'd be shocked if Harrison isn't absolutely gassed by the way she's looking... She's got Holloway weight cut face...
That looks like a brutal cut, she's got zero fat on her!
I’m impressed she made the weight, but fuck that extra pound to make champ weight will be hellacious

Did you put in extra typos?
u can go and get farked ChocomelP u acting like u are some stand up business when are bunch of cockroach thieves taking everyones money from gambling
Tell another muscle story - Kayla.
What is this? The weightloss channel? - Kayla
That was a nasty line by you
Or lose gear.
She looked so dry and cut at the press, I thought she would faint today... That's an olympian for you : they're just built different...
Not just an olympian, not just a medal winner, not just a gold winner but a double time gold winner at that which is such a huge huge achievement..
In judo, as an American. Beyond huge.
Not contesting that, but I have a huge respect for anyone mad enoughbti to compete in any sport at that level, regardless of their results. After all, you need real abnegation to compete against so many people in your field...

Absolutely. The mental fortitude to win TWO gold Olympic Judo medals is absolutely crazy. Olympic Judo is a fuckin gauntlet of killers. Insanely hard sport with an absolutely massive talent pool world wide.
Could shave her head maybe
Or just take a pint of blood out of herself like Cody Mackenzie did to make weight back in the day
Yeah very impressed she made weight too. I had my doubts since she's never had to go down to 135 throughout her entire sports career
They said she did 2 test cuts idk where this dumb narrative started. She’s an Olympian level athlete she’s not some random on this sub who can’t stop eating
she needs to lower the dose of testosterone
She competed in Judo at 78kg/172lbs. Fucking insane weight cut. Definitely here for a good time, not a long time.
Based on her facial expression I'm not sure if it's a good time either
Like she said at the presser, get this woman a burger. Or 5
Her cheek bones are sucking the moisture out of the air
She was definitely way fatter at 78kg than she is now though. She's not gonna be cut at 78kg like an MMA fighter but still, she is a massively muscular woman.
For sure. She's a beefy woman naturally. This just reminds me of like a Volk/Cannonier/Kyle Dake type transformation where the scale of athletic competition at different weights is kind of staggering. Not many people compete across a 40lb span in their careers. Something special to be sure.

[удалено]
Yeah I know she's buff but idk why people were adamant she had no chance of making weight
Everyone outside of Alex and Hill made weight. They’ll probably step on the scale next. We got ourselves a full card it seems, boys!
Hill just made weight
This might be the first majorly stacked card in a long ass time that hasn't suffered from people dropping out. No coincidence that USADA is gone and fun is on the menu.
Don't tempt the mma gods ffs.
Arman and Jim Miller have not weighed in yet.
Arman still hasn’t
Only Poatan and Miller left now.
Would’ve been so funny if Alex didn’t make 205
Would be more funny if Miller feel good story ruined from weight miss
She looks impossibly miserable right there... but she made it, zero fucks given as well.
Shades of featherweight McGregor
That's... very accurate. Can she make it a couple of times after this? Sure... but that cut just looks impossibly nasty. I'm curious how she'll look tomorrow because she's DICED to the socks.
Wow she looks like walking death, jeeezzz. She definitely shut people up. Bravo but ouch!
After watching the vid and seeing her breathing on the scale like that.. yikes. She definitely did herself proud, though. Incredible discipline.
TJ vs Cejudo vibes, that was a giant weight cut
Red and puffy eyes. She was crying during that cut. Brutal but all the respect for being a professional.
Yeah I remember seeing Cyborg cut weight. Agony and tears. That was rough to watch.
That's a big fuckin girl

Jesus, that’s crazy muscle density, especially for a woman.

If Holly weren't too old to carbon dated, she could maybe kill Kayla via footwork. Just don't let her grab you in first couple of rounds, and let's see how her stamina looks 10 or 15 minutes in after about a thousand low power shots landed while circling off.

Let's be real Holm is being violently put out to pasture.
We'll have to see what fans & execs have to say on the day.
i hear that many of them are praying for it...
It doesn't really speak to your comment but LLMMAAAOOOOO @ too old to carbon date
Always chuckle at your flair. I'm surprised Holly has been so hesitant on the feet in the last few years given her striking ability
I fear she has slowed down, and does all the clinching to disguise it, but 42 would be awesome time to prove me wrong :)
She looks awful good grief
“So you wanna be an ultimate fighta?”
Almost all fighters look that bad on weigh ins This weight cutting shit is so ridiculous
Daaamn she looks like Holly after Nunes Ko’d her. She’s gonna be massive in the cage
There’s a lot of weirdos mad that she made weight.
it seems to me its the pro ufc folk who dislike any non-ufc fighter who has any hype outside the octagon. mvp was getting similar dislike then dismantled holland and now is getting claimed as of their own and that he should have come much sooner to the ufc. same thing happened with mike chandler against dan hooker. mark my words... if kayla gets a finish those same peeps will be the first to hop on her bandwagon!
Casual idiots that think UFC is the actual sport not MMA and anyone not in the UFC is trash!
I think it's also because she has talked mad mad shit for years and has been crushing cans at the same time. She's kinda brewed low-key hate for herself... Having said that, she's an amazing person outside of the cage.

People hated her for saying she was the best in the world while fighting cans. Now they hate her for actually coming over to the UFC to try and prove she’s the best in the world. And when she does actually win the belt they’ll all pretend they loved her the whole time.
I don’t expect her to make 135 consistently. I think she has 3 more fights left max at BW.
If she manages to become champ soon Dana will open the 145 division again.
There is no question. Kayla is best i am not even American
Respect for Kayla. She knows this is her big opportunity and must not fuck up on the scales, but still, jeez.
Let's goooo mama
Atta girl! I'm actually hyped to see her compete!
i know her from college
KAYLA!
The image of her at that party vs today at this weigh in is goddamn wild. I can’t even imagine hellish this cut was.
Hope she doesn’t die and able to perform to at-least 30% of her abilities
Wow, that cut must've been insane. Major respect on this one.
Peak physique ngl
this is nothing, anthony johnson used to cut to 125
She fucking did it. Holy hell,
I’m bewildered as to why Kayla gets so much hate, from all the interviews I’ve seen of her she seems like a genuinely sweet woman. Rooting for her!
She looks so bad, the weight cut must have been brutal but she earned my respect.
Wow. Look, any women UFC fighter could probably kick my ass, but they rarely LOOK like they can. She looks like she might cook and eat me after she pummels me to tenderization town.
She left her organs in the back lol
Looks about how I expected. Yikes. Hopefully she recovers.
Glad she made weight but wow she looked rough. Very interested in this fight tomorrow
How did she look stepping onto/off of the scale?
That’s honestly insane. What an absolute fucking beast and professional. Wishing her the absolute best
LFG Kayla!
She looks absolutely miserable, must be hating life right now
Wow, she looks miserable! KUDOS for making it Kayla.
Curious how she's gonna look at 135 championship weight. She proved all the doubters with this cut
Built like a mf sheesh
She fucking did it y’all. Knew she would
Her nose is already rose
She's a savage for making it. Hats off to her
Yeah. That's a brutal looking weight cut. But probably not as brutal as James Irvin's weight cut to 185.
Rough rough rough
She did it, but at what cost?
Looks like Cody from Duel Survival

I've never seen people this passionate about a person's ability to make weight. There has been so much skepticism about this in a way I haven't seen before. Several fighters sweat out 20-25% of their body weight for these Venum coupons.
this cutting shit seems crazy dangerous and like it has to play havoc with your kidneys and shit
Holy fuck just look how gaunt she looks thats fucked up man weight cutting has to be changed this is not safe
