This is the reality that we as a community have created. A community that openly promotes complete and utter pseudoscience and praises the proponents as experts. There is a reason we spend years at university. To keep our patients/clients safe.

Another great camp with the champ @alexvolkanovski . I am always grateful to play a small part in these athletes preparation for their fights but even more so to demonstrate to the world that Nutrition can be used a performance tool and not just a means to lose weight #andstill

From one of the worst ‘weight cuts’ I’ve ever seen to one of the most seamless. Bloods may not have got the result in the cage but he made leaps and bounds outside of it. Excited for what’s to come for this legend of the 🇳🇿 combat sport scene. #ufc #mma #nutrition

This is a topic that is well overdue to be spoken about and I feel the need to do so after receiving a concerning call from a well-respected coach and client of mine about one of his students who was struggling to make weight.

How does @usantidoping rationalize waking up a World Champion the night before a fight? Especially since he spent 5 days setting that sleeping routine to be up at stupid o’clock before his fight. The performance jigsaw is complex but sleep is the foundation to every piece.

Does regaining more weight post weigh-in lead to more success in the octagon? @ChrisKirk_ASP and the team from @LJMU would suggest not! Here Chris discusses his latest paper that assessed 62 Professional MMA athletes across 5 events in the @ufc and @BellatorMMA .

Understanding the individual strategies involved in the ‘weight cutting’ process is vital in minimizing the risk to an athletes health. Always look to utilize the lower risk AWL strategies in order to reduce the need to use dehydration via sweating to make weight.

The UFC check all fighter’s weights before they are sent out to the scales on the stage. If they miss, they are granted 2 more hours to get down to weight. If they miss a second time they go on stage and miss weight. Khabib was on weight out the back and on stage. End of story.

A seismic shift in culture is what is needed and I believe we’re seeing that in our part of the world 🇦🇺🇳🇿 due to our top athletes actively speaking against these dangerous cuts.

@ChrisKirk_ASP @erikmagraken @CLESpoSci Big step in the right direction imo. Similar to how bowling an underarm ball in cricket is completely legal but goes against the ‘spirit’ of the game we need to create this culture in combat sports where promotion of this type of weight cut goes against the spirit of the sport.
