We're gonna need a lil break from the word "angle" unless we're talking about Kurt after this fight.


Jesus, Kenny Florian, Brendan Schaub etc keep saying it every time they put a mic in front of them :laugh:

Angles. Angles. Angles. Conor's Angles. Angles. Floyd has never seen Conor's angles. Angles.
I've seen Connor angles vs Mayweather, It's called bodyshots, and you eat a punch straight in your head.

In boxing there are wight cuts too but definitely not that big ones... at least that's not the usual and if someone still does it then it usually doesn't end well
so compared to MMA and probably wrestling boxing weight cuts are less hardcore


Yes weight cuts are common like that in wrestling and MMA. I wrestled for years before I trained any real MMA, dude cutting 40-50 lbs can and will happen. I think its a problem for boxing but its an accepted part of the culture in MMA.

Putting good your body into extreme dehydration is horrible for your endurance.

It actually takes a long time for the water to seep back into the cells at a molecular level. A lot of the water he takes in during the rehydrating process will just get pissed out.

You also deplete your muscles of salt and glycogen stores when you dehydrate yourself. Glycogen is burned for the first ~15-20 minutes during an endurance activity and after that your body starts burning fat.

If he comes out with depleted glycogen stores then he will be slower than normal because his body doesn't have the materials it needs.


I agree.

But when you get used to performing at such a dehydrated level, it can be "tolerable" and what you are banking on in MMA is that your extra size and strength will be such a fatiguing factor for your opponent that the hindrance towards your performance is negligible.


But Conor already is not a cardio guy, he struggles to go 3 5-minute rounds in MMA, going long in boxing is gonna be rough for him.

I've read it takes up to 72 hours to hydrate.
