WEIGHT CUT FOR FIGHTERS

Weight cutting is a strategic process where fighters reduce their body weight to meet the weight limit for their weight class before a fight. Unlike “losing weight” (a permanent reduction in body fat), weight cutting focuses on the temporary loss of water, glycogen, and stomach contents.

Weight cutting allows athletes to compete in lower weight categories, maximizing their size and strength on fight day, as long as it is done in a controlled and safe manner.
