Welcome to Midnight Mania!
UFC doesn’t maintain greater than a pair occasions per yr in “The Golden State,” however they’re at all times informative. The California State Athletic Fee (CSAC) is likely one of the few states that also reveals fighter purses, providing uncommon perception into the fashionable state of fighter pay. As well as, the CSAC has made it a prime precedence to sort out extreme weight slicing (after they’re not getting fooled by Merab Dvalishvili, at the least).
A giant a part of that strategy is weighing fighters on the night of the occasion. Ideally, CSAC would like fighters achieve lower than 10% of their weight again between weigh-ins and competitors. Greater than 15% typically means the fee is not going to let the athlete compete at that weight class once more sooner or later, although that’s tough to implement on a promotion just like the UFC that travels between numerous states and international locations. All of this data is public and has been helpfully compiled by MMA Preventing.
Take a look at the complete record of UFC 311 fighter’s and their respective weight achieve proportion under:
Islam Makhachev: 154.5 to 178 kilos (23.5 kilos), 17percentRenato Moicano: 155 to 181.8 kilos (26.8 kilos), 17percentMerab Dvalishvili: 134 to 156.8 kilos (22.8 kilos), 17percentUmar Nurmagomedov: 135 to 156.8 kilos (21.8 kilos), 16percentJiri Prochazka: 204.5 to 208.2 kilos (3.7 kilos), 2percentJamahal Hill: 205.5 to 221.8 kilos (16.3 kilos), 8percentReinier de Ridder: 184.5 to 212 kilos (27.5 kilos), 15percentKevin Holland: 183.5 to 190.4 kilos (6.9 kilos), 4percentRaoni Barcelos: 135.5 to 158.2 kilos (22.7 kilos), 17percentPayton Talbott: 135.5 to 158.2 kilos (22.7 kilos), 17percentJailton Almeida: 235 to 232.2 kilos (-2.8 kilos), -1percentSerghei Spivac: 233 to 234.2 kilos (1.2 kilos), 1percentBogdan Guskov: 205.5 to 214.4 kilos (8.9 kilos), 4percentBilly Elekana: 200 to 202.4 kilos (2.4 kilos), 1percentGrant Dawson: 156 to 179.4 kilos (23.4 kilos), 15percentDiego Ferreira: 156 to 173.2 kilos (17.2 kilos), 11percentAzamat Bekoev: 185.5 to 203.2 kilos (17.7 kilos), 10percentZachary Reese: 185.5 to 201 kilos (15.5 kilos), 8percentAilin Perez: 135 to 152.2 kilos (17.2 kilos), 13percentKarol Rosa: 135.5 to 154 kilos (18.5 kilos), 14percentMuin Gafurov: 136 to 151.8 kilos (15.8 kilos), 12percentRinya Nakamura: 135.5 to 148.6 kilos (13.1 kilos), 10percentBernardo Sopaj: 135 to 147.8 kilos (12.8 kilos), 9percentRicky Turcios: 136 to 156.6 kilos (20.6 kilos), 15percentTagir Ulanbekov: 125.5 to 147.4 kilos (21.9 kilos), 17percentClayton Carpenter: 125.5 to 141.2 kilos (15.7 kilos), 13%
There are fairly a couple of shocking and notable numbers on this record. For one, who would have guessed that former Featherweight Renato Moicano can be heavier than the champion with the massive again muscle mass and crushing squeeze? “Cash” have to be consuming nicely!
Jiri Prochazka was one other shock. The previous Mild Heavyweight kingpin by no means appears small within the Octagon, however he’s positively very mild for the division. If he does go to Middleweight in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later, he would nonetheless be weighing lower than anyone like Paulo Costa, who has rehydrated all the best way as much as 215-pounds by combat night time.
Lastly, Reinier de Ridder vs. Kevin Holland was the most important numerical mismatch of the night, as “The Dutch Knight” was 22 kilos heavier than his opponent. That’s a stunning determine, but it surely does make sense. Holland has competed at Welterweight pretty lately, whereas de Ridder was an achieved Mild Heavyweight previous to his UFC signing.
