...in the press conference he said he has put on 5/6 pounds of lean muscle and will weigh in at about 191 or 192 for the night of the Hardy fight. Cutting 22 pounds is insane. The large majority of that will be water weight. Can you imagine how gaunt and dehydrated these guys get and that is in preparation for most physically demanding sport in the world - fighting!
I get the feeling that one of those wrestlers at 185 is going to handle him. Would have been nice to see GSP/Hendo.
They go on diet 2 week prior to a fight to loss this weight! i couldn't believe it when GSP was talking about putting more muscles!
you know now that you say that he did look a little more dehydrated in the weigh in pics then previous fights.
Certainly sounds like it, but he'll want to put on atleast another 5 pound of muscle to compete physically. I was always under the assumption he didn't cut a great deal of weight to make 170 though?
Mainly, I'm suprised that GSP is taking the same route as them. He is probably preparing for 185 but I see no point of cutting weight more. When he comes to move up to 185, add muscle then.
