Only a few short weeks after Mousasi kneed Weidman into a baffling and controversial TKO win by apparently legal knees, after the bout was stopped because the referee thought the knees were illegal (what?), and after Miragliotta took all the heat for his apparent mistake, and all the discussion […]

And once again the issue of weight-cutting comes up. There is enough criticism as it is against weight-cutting being very unhealthy […]
