Ilia Topuria, a contender for the UFC featherweight champion belt, spoke about his unusual weight cutting system.
“The fact is that the night from Thursday to Friday is very difficult for every fighter. It’s hard for me to sleep, it’s hard for me to rest, but I drink half a liter of wine and get high - I have a great time with the team. We are changing the atmosphere. We don’t think about battles, we arrange a holiday for ourselves, and I fall asleep like a child. The next morning I wake up two pounds lighter from dehydration, so everything is going very well for me,” the fighter said.
Let us remind you that on the night of February 18, Topuria will have to fight with UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski.
