How big do guys usually get after weigh ins, in the smaller divisions?

I know the heavier divisions guys will gain up to 20 plus lbs after weigh ins. But do the smaller guys like the lightweights and below go that high in weight after their weigh ins?

How to Quickly Lose Weight by Drinking Water

Recommended Answer:

Not quite so much because their metabolism is usually a little faster and their average, walking around weight is considerably less than those fighters in heavier weight classes. Seven to ten pounds though is not unusual from what I have observed the few times that I have attended pro weigh-ins the day before judging those fighters fighting. Even after putting on several pounds they are still easily several pounds or more below their usual walking around weight. Adding too much weight back on like that can leave a fighter feeling bloated and sluggish for the fight and so they are not trying to put everything back on which they have lost. Instead they are just trying to regain any strength they may have lost as well as rehydrate adequately so they don't have any problems being weak or becoming dehydrated during their fight then. When I fought full contact that was always my end goal and I never wanted to go into fight with a full stomach. Instead I wanted to go into the fight slightly hungry still and not feeling bloated or sluggish. MMA type fighting really puts more stress on your core area and I can't imagine fighting in that with anything in my stomach at all.

Other Answers:

  • The heavier divisions, they get bigger because it's the biggest division. From 205-265, that's a huge gap. Most divisions are only 10 pounds different. It's not uncommon for guys to put on 10-30 pounds day after weigh ins. That includes the heavyweight divisions. Theres only so much weight you can put on in a day.
  • About 10 lbs.
  • No, 20 pounds to a big is less percentage of his weight than a smaller guy. Whether your big or small your going to gain back about the same percentage of weight. For example say a 200 lbs man gains back 20lb. A 100lbs man who cut would gain around 10lb back.
