I wonder what their weights were on fight night. She was rag dolling Holly around like nothing.

Kayla said in another interview that she hydrated back up to 160lbs. I’m not sure what Holly re-hydrated to but I’d be shocked if it was more than 150.

@@reddevil6585 I personally don’t believe Kayla does or has ever done PEDs. She’s been grappling in Judo since she was a child and won two Olympic gold medals while under the strictest drug testing in the World. Her natural weight is about 160, when she fought in PFL she fought at 155, so she didn’t really have to cut weight. She cut down to 145 for her one fight in Invicta, but this was the most she’s ever done. Nutritionist and the UFC PI are crazy mad scientists and she’s an hard worker, I think she’s just a beast. To give you another example, Aljo said he only had to cut 15 pounds on fight week this week while fighting at 145lbs as opposed to the 25lbs he normally had to cut to make 135lbs, so he’s basically in the same boat.

What does this mean?
If the cut was this excruciating, the thought of cutting the extra lb for a title fight must haunt her, lol. Had Amanda not retired, her life would be made exponentially easier not having to shed the additional 10 lbs.
Big Jim was Rondas coach.
plz end weight cutting
I wasn't too bing on her bc I didn't much much of her. But she's really chill and "joyful". I'm a fan now. Congrats on the W kayla!
She may have hydrated and made weight but longevity wise her body and brain are screwed and that breaks my heart. Wish they would fix the cutting issue with regulated weight classes and same night weighings
I love her class and humility. Great fighter and humble with every reason to be egotistical. Awesome Lady.
Kayla need to know that any elite fighter like Holly Holm with half decent wrestling will always reverse that side Judo throw. That doesn't work in MMA
the transformer and pikograms. such a role model
Love Kayla! I'll be rooting for her!
Lol Strickland said she's just like Farva from Super Troopers and he's 100% right. Farva on Fn steroids.

Great performance.
She's my fav .... she's a very good and real person, very down to earth, and is going to conquer UFC in no time, and she has a very beautiful, proportionate physique... would love to see her in Women's bodybuilding after she retires from MMA .. She definitely lifts very very heavy to pack on that kind of size... and achieve that strength ... nd no I don't believe she's on PEDs. Women with gifts can achieve that body without drugs .. nd she's naturally wide on clavicles, big boned, big skeletal framed which gives her a very big advantage in overpowering her opponents ..
I don't think i will EVER see ANYONE say brett is the media goat lol hows the dude with espn
shes cominnnn!!!
Poetic Justice for Judo Olympians! ⚖ Holly got judo slammed and finished! Head movement!
Holly Homes is 42 years old, put her against Penia or Penington to have some real oposition
She looked like she weighed 160 on fight night, clever way of winning the title, the weight cut is brutal but on fight night she's a Featherweight fighting at bantamweight, I think she'll win the bantamweight title then move up to her natural weight class and win the Featherweight title
That is one buff woman, sincerely!!
