    Fighter's walk around weights...

    I was surprised to learn that Rampage has to cut so much weight to make 205 come weigh-in day.

    What other notable fighters have to cut considerable amounts to make weight?

    I don't think there are many guys in the UFC that don't cut a signifcant amount of weight except for a good percentage of heavyweights(unless your Brock who still has to cut from over 300Lbs to make the 265lbs limit)and a few LW's like Edgar but I'd say every fighter inbetween those weights has to cut weight.

    I don't think Rashad cuts much but he still has to cut to make weight and even Rich Franklin who the UFC seemed for a while to have made a special wieght class just for him still had to cut to make that weight.

    I would say Rumble Johnson or Tibau are probably the biggest weight cutter in the UFC percentage wise.

    Nate Marqaurdt
    Thiago Alves
    GSP
    Gleison Tibau
    Anthony Johnson
    Brock Lesner are,I think the biggest weight cutters in the UFC

    Frankie edgar doesnt cut much if any weight to fight at 155, he should really be at 145. Forrest walks around at 230 as does Rmpage and Tito and they are probably the biggest cutters to 205. Rampage got fat from his time off and making the movie.


    I think Bones also cuts a huge amount of weight and as he gets older he is going to find it difficult to keep making 205, he has a huge frame and is still bulking up and getting thicker.

    Ryan Bader cuts quite a lot as well, at least 235. There is a picture where he is actually bigger than Cain Velasquez.

    Stephan Bonnar as well, he is bigger than Griffin and Rampage, I heard he walks around at 240 or something like that.

    Alan Belcher is another one.

    Tibau cuts insane amounts and ofcoarse Anthony Johnson who is bigger than quite a lot of LHWs. To me he looks bigger than Evans, Machida and possibly Shogun as well.

    Frankie Edgar probably has to gain weight to make 155.
