Neverlandia they do actually get weighed again the night of the fight, but they’re allowed to fail that weigh in and it isn’t made public. They get weighed again for health and safety reports for the commission i believe

Lockhart is legit. He has helped a lot of struggling fighters to make weight. Yoel romero is an amazing example and further the performance of Tyson fury with he’s weight being perfect.
Being a proud Louisianian I really appreciate these guys for taking care of DC and Dustin we love those guys down here much appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Lockhart and Mr. Leith!
After this video, everyone will be influencer/personal Trainer
I wish the MMA organizations would ALL get rid of weight cutting. Fighters shouldn't be walking around 15-30lbs heavier than their fight weight. They should be required to stay within 10 lbs of their fight weight on their contracts.
I remember when conor made 45 he looked like a different person props to the nutritionists who got him there each time and also conor of course.

George used to teach mma/kickboxing and some bjj at UFC veteran Brian Stann's gym, Warrior Legion, in Alpharetta, Ga which I attended before he blew up big, 2013. He's a cool guy and I remember he'd always play the same stupid Flo-rida song during kickboxing so when I complained he'd intentionally play it and say it's for me. Glad he's doing so good.

That's a horrible idea.

Not that it's mentioned in the video but it's dropping stupid amounts of water weight before the weigh in, hitting the weight, just about collapsing on stage and then pumping litres of fluid back into the body and weighing about 15lbs more on fight night. Also before the UFC drug testing ramped up using an iv drip to replenish fluids was a great way to hide performance enhancing drugs.
