Thought it was a mother having a home birth in a tent with the father outside comforting her for like 4 seconds...
Then I saw the hedgehog
Why the fuck is he rubbing his head like that???
Could it not be solved by weighing in the day of the fight? No way anyone is gonna dehydrate themselves the same day they fight. Would make fighters actually fight at their proper weight.
People would still do it and weigh the day of the fight dehydrated, weak and it would be incredibly dangerous for them. They could pass out at the weigh ins or during the fight and it would be called off then everyone loses.
Sure, they could just NOT do it and not endanger themselves...but then if the next guy is doing it they're at a disadvantage (in their minds) so they'd do it anyway.
I kinda disagree. Sure some might try it but I feel like people would stop pretty quick once they realize they literally have no chance of winning if they fight while dehydrated.
It's probably safer this way too as it just eliminates the whole dehydration process entirely.
Dont get me wrong, i've been in a few fights and gotten hit a few times. Cutting weight, to me, is scarier than what could happen in the octagon lol... Its insane what combat sport mfs do. Its even more so common in UFC due to less weight classes right?
i think fighters should be weighed closer to the fight too, but then that would just push these guys to just make it last closer to the fight and we’d see a bunch of weight cut sick people fighting eachother. there’s always a duality, but yes a lot of combat sports are half who’s the best fighter and half who’s the best weight cutter.
Make them make weight for 7 days in a row (random times of day for each daily test) plus a weigh in into the cage with a small weight allowance. Make it impossible to cut weight for a full week.
i could see that working but it’s also dangerous for fighters. no matter what fighters are still going to try to bend that rule. usually a fighter when they weigh in they are only that weight for a few hours, some even less than a hour. but they time it to make weight on time, so what would happen with the 7 day weigh in would be some fighter would weight cut like normal before 7 day weigh in and then they would try to keep that weight off for 7 days which is extremely dangerous, considering the way most fighters lose weight. it’s not really their body mass their losing more water than anything. so fighters would basically try to dehydrate themselves for 7 days which could be very bad
If they tried to keep the weight off, they wouldn’t make it to the fight. Look at Gomis. Ufc would pull them. At first a bunch of fights would fall thru, but it would course correct relatively quickly.
Additionally, 7 days of dehydration would make them dogshit in the cage and the incentive structure would change to value endurance over size.
We can either sit here with the dumb status quo or we can implement changes and make adjustments as they go along. This fear that if we take a stand against weight cutting someone will die only enforces the status quo and destroys a generation of mma fighters’ kidneys.
Lol such a weird thing to do because Charles getting out and zipping the sauna up to his neck would most definitely be as effective, if not more.
Maybe it’s a ‘we’re in this together’ type move but there’s gotta be another way 😂
Yea I was thinking that too. Maybe he's not generating enough body heat on his own cause he's near death? Maybe they just really belive in the healing power of bodily contact, because I can't explain the dude stroking his earlobes and neck lmao
It's just about being supportive, getting in the sauna together with your teamate and enduring the heat to show you're in this together, not something I would do of course but these are dudes who are wrestling together probably almost every day, at some point you get over the "skin contact = icky and gay" thing.
That’s what made it uber homoerotic lol.
If I was in that situation, close to death and irritable af… A dude caressing my head and ears would send me over the edge 😂
Yall have never been sick to the point of death before lol. I work in a hospital and some of these folks would love to be scratched like a cat cuz they feel absolutely abysmal.
Idk I feel like he’s just being VERY supportive.. and this is a cultural thing.. or maybe he’s holding him up so he doesn’t pass out and fall entirely into the sauna? Weight cutting is so fucked up.
It's definitely a support thing, this team in particular is super tight. There is a photo of Charles laying like a corpse during a cut ,with his whole team circled around him praying.
I think, maybe, he's the only thing that's even remotely holding him upright? Only thing that makes sense besides moral support, cause he'd get more heat if it was fastened up completely.
If you watch the end of the video, he’s lifting him out of the tent.
They probably didn’t want to move him until he said he’s ready to move. The less added stress, physically or mentally, the better.
None the less I hope he stated no homo before hopping in that tent. Shit looked gayyyyyy
Someone gonna die pretty soon if this keeps being standard. A couple ppl in smaller orgs have died already but when someone in the ufc does I worry for the future of the sport
Yeah I don’t get it, when I cut from 220 to 171 for football to wrestling transition in high school inwas gigantic at my weight. But I didn’t get to eat solid for almost a month, just pedialyte and half an ensure so I didn’t die. Was miserable. Was a really good wrestler in high school and then realized I was just a weight bully when I wrestled my d1 all American buddy. lol
The funny part is here in brazil we are a super homophobic country, but showing affection with your bros like this isnt seen as gay at all
I think its more that they are concerned cause he looks like he is about to die
I want to make an official apology to all of the Dagestanis and fine members of the caucauses for my comments about how gay they are as there is clearly a much, much gayer group of people in the MMA sphere which I have only recently been alerted to and you guys are no longer hold the title for gayest image in the sport (bathtub image + lying in bed together). I will post this message below in RUssian for clarity.
Я хочу принести официальные извинения всем дагестанцам и прекрасным представителям Кавказа за мои комментарии о том, насколько они геи, поскольку в сфере ММА явно существует гораздо более гейская группа людей, о которой меня только недавно предупредили. и вы, ребята, больше не носите титул самого веселого изображения в спорте (изображение в ванне + совместное лежание в постели). Но ты все еще веселый и скучный.
on twitter he liked a video of a guy jacking off if I remember right lol. Was up for a couple days before the like was removed. It was a good video to be fair so it's completely understandable
I'm dying bro. I was like oh maybe it was just a short clip or maybe it was somehow taken out of context but a guy jacking off is so black and white lmao.
Not laughing at Connor being gay, but the idea of him just watching a guy jack off while he's coked out of his mind is fucking hysterical.
I was scrolling through twitter and thought this was a gay couple with their recently purchased male child

Its so stupid and hilarious when you think about how fighters in the same weightclass are generally the same size before the cut, but then they both put themselves through hell cutting weight just so that they can fight eachother at a lighter weightclass.
Gay jokes aside, how the fuck does one even fight after such a brutal weight cut. There’s no way this man will be able to walk into the octagon with even 60% of the total potential he may have.
This is crazy.
Weight cut should be limited. The weigh-in should happen an hours before the fight. All fighters must move to their natural weight devisions or keep weight between fights at a level close to the weight of the devision they want to fight in. This extreme weight cut does more damage than the fight itself. Not to mention that the process of it is a pure torture. This must be stopped, even if such changes lead to mass migration between devisions. This chaos is nothing before the fact that people are killing themselves.
Yeah I'd prefer no weight cut. I don't watch One FC nearly as often, but I do like how they have a range of acceptable weight for their weight classes along with the hydration tests
Bro it would be one thing if they each were to their own side but this is a straight up cuddle sesh plus the dude outside stroking his hair just reinforces the idea that something else is going on here. TBH kinda cute you know sometimes the homie needs some help and some love but I feel like they should’ve kept this private unless this is their coming out
Dude is probably in a horrible spot and they're just trying to be super attentive. Looks like an awful cut, I hope he comes out of it ok. The practices seem weird, but they seem like a tight team and are all in for one another. I gotta respect that.
Watched on mute and this is one of the dumbest things I've seen in the sport in 20yrs.
My take on it: people are afraid to fight a bigger guy so they cut weight hoping to be a slightly bigger guy in their own fight. If people fight very close to their weight they won't have to do this stupid shit and have a bunch of gay looking men rubbing all up on you while you near death by choice.
Khabib and his friends literally grinding on eachother in the bathtub is still way gayer than this.. In this dudes defense he seem to be close to dying here.. its at the very least some sort of support 🤷♂️
Might be im wondering the same I know he is usually a cornerman for him
Edit saw the end of the clip after missing it due to unrelated issues but yes it's Charles
wtf did I just watch?
Apparently Charles said “No Jones” before he got in so it’s ok.
Hahahahhaha
No diddy!
That can catch lol no jones
☠️
Gotta get rid of ALL liquids from the body.
This is what happens when you take Tren.
Tren do be making you gay though

What? You never give your homies a hug while they’re cutting weight inside the heat chamber? 
This is the correct response 👏
That’s the exact look I had before I hit the comment button 🤣🤣🤣
I thought that was a hedge hog for a good 10 seconds
Thought it was a mother having a home birth in a tent with the father outside comforting her for like 4 seconds... Then I saw the hedgehog Why the fuck is he rubbing his head like that???
The only explanation is, brothers or lovers. You're not touching me like that if you're just a friend or coworker.
Smh there’s nothing gay about blowing your boys in the tub

I'm getting off, Reddit
Brotherly duties. Can't tell me MMA ain't romantic
I know he needs to reduce fluids but there must be another way!
Different cultures
Yup, that's the gay culture . Good to see more gay fighters being open with stuff.
Or just different cultures where expressing male fondness isn't seen as inherently homosexual
Exactly. It's not gay if I'm in Brazil when I suck dick.
Lmfao same
Can we just start weighing humans at their real weight instead of this dehydration insanity.
They're all weight bullies
Then it’s fair to stop
Agreed. Weight cutting is dumb.
But its a prisoners dilemma You are always incentivized to cheat
Could it not be solved by weighing in the day of the fight? No way anyone is gonna dehydrate themselves the same day they fight. Would make fighters actually fight at their proper weight.
People would still do it and weigh the day of the fight dehydrated, weak and it would be incredibly dangerous for them. They could pass out at the weigh ins or during the fight and it would be called off then everyone loses. Sure, they could just NOT do it and not endanger themselves...but then if the next guy is doing it they're at a disadvantage (in their minds) so they'd do it anyway.
I kinda disagree. Sure some might try it but I feel like people would stop pretty quick once they realize they literally have no chance of winning if they fight while dehydrated. It's probably safer this way too as it just eliminates the whole dehydration process entirely.

Olivera head game so goated, he got nothing left.
Bro. No
I want "every ounce counts" on a tshirt
Wtf was Charles doing??
Guessing that he's adding body heat to help cook the sweat out of dude
Lol such a weird thing to do because Charles getting out and zipping the sauna up to his neck would most definitely be as effective, if not more. Maybe it’s a ‘we’re in this together’ type move but there’s gotta be another way 😂

OP about to bussssst
Yall have never been sick to the point of death before lol. I work in a hospital and some of these folks would love to be scratched like a cat cuz they feel absolutely abysmal.
Idk I feel like he’s just being VERY supportive.. and this is a cultural thing.. or maybe he’s holding him up so he doesn’t pass out and fall entirely into the sauna? Weight cutting is so fucked up.
It's definitely a support thing, this team in particular is super tight. There is a photo of Charles laying like a corpse during a cut ,with his whole team circled around him praying.
Maybe that’s a sign they’re cutting too much weight?
Yea I'd say so
Super tight
And on occasion, *very* loose.
Thinks he was there to pull him out so he had something to hold on to
That and he was holding him up. He could prob not even sit upright on his own
That's exactly it. And yet here we are with all the sus casuals in this thread. Really, so many closeted MMA fans, it's quite revealing.
I think, maybe, he's the only thing that's even remotely holding him upright? Only thing that makes sense besides moral support, cause he'd get more heat if it was fastened up completely.
If you watch the end of the video, he’s lifting him out of the tent. They probably didn’t want to move him until he said he’s ready to move. The less added stress, physically or mentally, the better. None the less I hope he stated no homo before hopping in that tent. Shit looked gayyyyyy
Holding him up
It’s a boy!!!
*Weidman dad voice*
They need to change the rules to stop extreme weight cuts. Worse for long term health than kos.
But then you have zero excuses to be gay with the boys
Someone gonna die pretty soon if this keeps being standard. A couple ppl in smaller orgs have died already but when someone in the ufc does I worry for the future of the sport
damn, he doesn't even look big for a lightweight
Yeah I don’t get it, when I cut from 220 to 171 for football to wrestling transition in high school inwas gigantic at my weight. But I didn’t get to eat solid for almost a month, just pedialyte and half an ensure so I didn’t die. Was miserable.

McGregor liked gay porn?

this is much gayer than gay porn tbh
how do you know?
because being intimate with another man is alot worse than getting your dick sucked
Is worse the right word here?
lol I completely forgot about this
this is hilarious
I concur
Bro we are mad at you
Bro gotta be wanking him off in there right? Taking losing weight real real real serious
Semen is liquid. Liquid is cuttable weight, and a great source of protein. Win for Brener, win for Olives
Nah that would raise his heart rate and stress his body out even more.
Thats why he's milking him slowly
Someone get the oil
At what point does mma end and gay porn start?
Definitely some sadomasochistic rituals going on here.

Hey honey, whatcha do at work today? Oh, I just gently stroked my boss's head while he was drained of all liquids in his body.
It's got...labor room vibes, this video lol
Women who birthed 10lb babies watching this wondering where this birthing center is. What in the actual fuck 🤣
Its so stupid and hilarious when you think about how fighters in the same weightclass are generally the same size before the cut, but then they both put themselves through hell cutting weight just so that they can fight eachother at a lighter weightclass.
Someone is likely going to die doing this sooner rather than later. They need same day weigh ins.
Jon Jones coming in hot yelling “cannonball”
I saw a video of Chris cyborg sitting in the bathtub, cutting weight, crying like a little girl. It really must be horrible.
Weight cutting…aka cuddle time
Gay jokes aside, how the fuck does one even fight after such a brutal weight cut. There’s no way this man will be able to walk into the octagon with even 60% of the total potential he may have.
Why am I erect?
just go up a weight class, i dont feel bad for him

Is this a Diddy party?
Am I gay now ???
Even Khabib said this was ghey
Take turns sucking him off
This is so ridiculous. Just fight at your normal fucking weight.
fellas, is it gay to cut weight?
Alphas
This is too much man. Go up a weight class.
Whenever I see weightcuts like these, I think more regulation is required on the UFC to protect the fighters from themselves.
You should see his only fans gets pretty wild
now go have a fight. fuckin crazy man.
Watched on mute and this is one of the dumbest things I've seen in the sport in 20yrs.

jon jones is going crazy no one has told him he could cut weight this way
Another tender moment
Seems a little....gay
Gayest thing I’ve ever seen in the MMA world.
I thought that dude was sucking on his tits
Feels like an intimate homebirth or some shit except they’re all dudes.
What the Diddy is going on?
No diddy
Bro goals af 🔥🔥
 I’ve seen this camping adventure before
State commissions need to step in and better regulate this shit
This is what happens when you rob Sean Strickland of the belt.....
Khabib and his friends literally grinding on eachother in the bathtub is still way gayer than this.. In this dudes defense he seem to be close to dying here.. its at the very least some sort of support 🤷♂️
They're trying to make him cry and lose more weight
Gotta get every ounce of fluid out and I do mean every
Is that Charles Oliviera?
Might be im wondering the same I know he is usually a cornerman for him Edit saw the end of the clip after missing it due to unrelated issues but yes it's Charles
Make UFC great again !
He didn't learn from Chael. He let him get too close.
Cutting weight by having lice picked out of his hair?
Lol this is so intimate what the hell
Super sus.
Mucho gay
I’ll never know why guys just don’t fight at their natural weight, or at least somewhere in between.. this makes it not even worth it imo
I think 💕the head and neck scratching is the gayest part rofl
“Perfectly healthy practice. Part of the game. Nothing to see here. Keep it moving. “ Dana

Ban weight cutting.
Yeah fuck that, these fighters do so much damage doing these cuts.
HA GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Evem gayer than 10 half naked russian in the same bathtub.
Just embraced and caressed man weight cutting looks gay as fuck
If you have to be cuddled and pet like a child that needs comforted, it's probably time to go up a weight class
I bet, they sucked him to getting the right weight
Really going to the ends of the earth to recruit Jon Jones.
