MMA Fighter dies cutting weight

It was bound to happen. 21 years old

Tragic news out of Asia hit one of MMA’s biggest fight weekends of the year when ONE Championship officials today announced 21-year-old fighter Yang Jian Bing passed away following his weight-cutting efforts prior to ONE Championship 35.

Yeah it happens.  The weight cut is probably a greater risk than the actual fight for some fighters who push the limits to make weight.  Wouldn't be surprised if diuretics are involved.

Aldo is deep in Connor's psyche.  Poor little Connor has no idea what he is walking into.  Aldo is a natural born killer, he was cool and calm and Connor looked like he was going to cry.

90% of the mma and boxing champs who are belt holders today would be journeymen if they went back to same day weigh-ins

they should bring back same day weigh in and if u fail to make weight u get 2 chances to try to make it

if u dont they should give 50% off the earnings to the other fighter. that way no more of this iv drip bullshit

i dont really see the need to cut that much weight in mma there is a big gap in weight between classes specifically made by dana so the

fighters dont have to cut so much weight.

It happened a high school wrestler years back.

I never understood why the fighters have to "make" thge weight. Why dont they stay at a good weight for them all the year instead of killing themselves to make the weight and then bulking up in two days? Arent they weakend by this starvation?

To be 'big' at the weight, potentially being around 12lbs or more heavier, that's why most don't carry the sane power as they move up in weight classes, especially with boxing
