Perhaps to sell the fight? I'm not talking about draining himself, I'm talking more about things like doing a light skipping session, hitting the sauna for an hour, and eating after, rather than before, the weigh in... It would make sense to do this for his team, in order to give a more impressive number on the scales, which would definitely help sell the fight. The main reason I'm suggesting this is that despite weighing in at a decent 247 lbs, Solis still looks pretty damn fat. :think
I'm not sure if most fighters on weigh-in day care much about selling a fight. People who care to watch the weigh-in will catch the fight.
247 is not a decent weight though. This man should be in the 225-230lbs range. He is morbidly obese and shall pay the price for his sloth.
If the guy cant get motivation for this fight, he wont ever be motivated... If he beats vitali, he could fight the winner of wlad v haye and it would bill as the undisputed champion of the world. Like i said, if he cant lose weight and get motivated for that, then he may aswell just hang the gloves up...
