RE: Should Mackenzie Dern move up to flyweight?

in #sport7 years ago (edited)

Yes, she’s missed weight a number of times now and it’s normally by a big amount, that 7lbs over is ridiculous, and she didn’t look gaunt or dehydrated. To be honest, I know it could just be her body, but at her last fight it looked like she had some extra fat to loose. Not body shaming at all haha just being honest, she has excess fat to loose, like easy 3-4lbs that would make the cut much easier. She can fight at 115 but she needs to loose 5-10lbs before the cut. She must be walking around at what like 140?

About the fat thing, I’ve though that about many fighters, such as DC. He’s one of the best, so many he’s not a good example but he struggles to make 205 but still carries quite a bit of fat. I don’t know how some of the ‘fatter’ fighters (noticeably heavyweights) maintain that fat with all of the training and cardio work

I agree.If she wants to be successful in the UFC she needs some lean muscles and to lose body fat.
