Weidman and Poirier Recall Shocking Post-Weigh-In Transformations
Former UFC fighters Chris Weidman and Dustin Poirier discussed the dramatic physical changes opponents undergo between weigh-ins and fight nights. Weidman recalled seeing Yoel Romero transform into a massive physique before their UFC 205 bout, while Poirier described Islam Makhachev's sudden bulk after a severe weight cut. The discussion highlighted how extreme weight cutting can deplete fighters, challenging the assumption that larger opponents are always physically superior.
