Starting to feel that ' too skinny ' feel but I still have lots of energy and feel strong. To most people who don't know the sport they would say things like ' ewww too skinny. Eat something ' but that's the thing about this sport. You do what you have to do to make weight. And I try and do it in the most healthy way I possibly can. I train hard and eat right without starving myself. But, yes the scale does have to say 116 when I step on it. So the last few days I do have to eat very little and cut water. It is one of the hardest parts of this sport. It is not something myself or any other fighter does by choice or for aesthetic purposes.
To me there are 2 fights before the actual fight
1- the grueling training camp
2- the weight cut and then there is the fight itself.
I hope people stop to educate themselves on the sport of mma before making comments like ' ewww too skinny '
Call it what it really is- hard work, discipline and dedication
