Crawford calls MMA weight cutting crazy

Alexandr Ormanji | Published Aug. 24, 2023, 2:48 a.m.

Terence Crawford, the undisputed welterweight champion of the world, spoke about the weight race in MMA. He noted that mixed martial arts fighters lose too much weight and called it insane

“You need liquid. Some people lose their brain fluid when they get dehydrated, and as soon as they miss a beat, their brain hits their skull, and that beat knocks them out. I have friends in MMA and I have never seen people lose so much weight in one day just to meet the divisional limit. These dudes dropped 5.5 kg each. How do they do it? Crazy..." Crawford said on Joe Rogan's podcast.
