24 hours after weighing 145 pounds, UFC's Diego Sanchez now at 171.2

That's like 15% of his bodyweight. That's a solid sized heavyweight (240ish) making the 205 weight limit. That's just about the most extreme I've ever seen.

What the hell did he eat, a sandbag?

The sport needs to regulate that stuff better. I know its been done for years but that shit ain't healthy.

I think a cut of around 8-9% of body weight is considered a normal healthy cut. Obviously, some guys can healthily cut a little more. I have seen fighters routinely pack on 10-20 pounds after a weigh-in & before a fight. But that was all before the new UFC USADA drug policy that included an IV ban. Which means 99% of the time fighters can now no longer rehydrate using an IV after a weigh-in.

Diego should not be fighting at 145.

Diego should not be fighting at 145.

True story. I thought he looked pretty sluggish the entire fight, which isn't surprising after that cut.
