Saltine American -Muay Tired -Apparently it was rhabdomyolysis that caused the cramping. Typical AKA overtraining. I can't remember, but is Team Cormier the team with all the injuries? Reflection of AKA's injury-prone athletes.
They also champ prone. I too think they must be going too hard at aka because of the injuries, but maybe that’s the line you gotta run to be champ. Dialing it back a little may mean dialing back success.
Tough line to straddle, but maybe that's the key?

Very interesting....
Panic attack.
Cocaine Cowboy -Ive come to the conclusion he most likely had a panick attack. It can cause muscles to cramp and he was amped up, probably anxiety related?
This. I cramp so much when my anxiety is up
Well on the recent episode they said this dude was running twice a day before and after the workouts. His teammates say he was overtrained especially his legs, I don't buy it. He was 3-0 without much experience from Ireland and I think he had some sort of anxiety attack he's never experienced before.
Mr_Honky -From a tweet I saw from a guy on the show it sounds like it might be something serious and explained on a future episode. It was definitely strange.
Over-training was the teammates excuse last episode.

But he was the #1 lightweight pick, and was fighting the last overall pick, who he matched up well with. I'm sure anxiety played a part, for sure, but I do think there was a real physical component too.
I used to get really bad cramping in training, where my legs would lock up and I couldn’t do anything. It happens. I don’t think he was afraid to fight.
dentalninja - Looked like it could have been rhabdomyolysis and/or possibly a severe electrolyte imbalance.The fact that he ran 30 miles in the past 5 days in addition to training 2x per day with Team Cormier team may have been a factor. No one needs to train like that.
…and there it is.
