Making Weight: A Writer Cuts With a Pro at UFC 183

Calavaro -


Although I appreciate the look into a fighters weight cut routine very much, the authors anemic weigth cut attempt was an uneccessary long filler and made the article very much too long. Half of it was how he failed to cut out salt the week prior to cutting water weight the last 2 days.... Again, I appreciate the look behind the scenes though.



Very cool of Lauzon to allow you to hang around and play hookie.

Very nice of Joe indeed! Though, I wasn't playing hookie_ this is precisely what I get paid to do. And, I did it in addition to all the normal UFC 183 coverage I had to do Phone Post 3.0

My whole family used to cut weight together year round.

I normally really enjoy your work but this was a bit disappointing. Some (hopefully) constructive criticism; I'd rather you described the experience of being dehydrated more and you didn't explain what an IV is.
