Either:

There's a thought. Maybe you can get your opponent to wrap his knuckles in bacon as a payoff for losing all that weight.

Even if you can lose 50lbs in six weeks, do you really believe that you'll be in any condition to fight?

Who are you doing a favor by taking the fight? Definitely not yourself, definitely not your team, and sure as hell not the fans paying to watch you.

Option A: You don't make weight. The fight doesn't happen dissappointing yourself for making the commitment and the people who paid to see the number of fights that should have happened. Your team/manager also looks bad for not whipping you into shape. Nobody cares about the background story if you don't make the weight. Bottom line is you should make the weight if you accept the fight.

Option B: You make weight but you are pathetically weak and dehydrated. You'll disgrace yourself, team/manager, and the fans will be bummed out on watching someone who "shouldn't be in there". Again, they don't care about the background story as to why you are so out of shape. This scenario just screams for excuses after the fight.

Keep us updated if you decide to take the fight. I've lost 45 pounds in six months, but I also lost a lot of my strength and muscle in the process. I would reccomend laying off any kind of heavy weightlifting. Stick to circuits if you do work out and do very light leg workouts, if any. If you run or do cardio, let that be your leg workouts. If you got tree trunk legs, weight will drop quickly the leaner you get them. I would advise you to eat very light dinners no later than 630 all depending on what time you go to bed. Of course no processed sugar, which may have been a key factor in your "weight gain". Drink tons and tons of water, helps curb your appetite and flushes out the gunk. Also, if you handle it, sprints. Either at a track or on the treadmill. Run a lap as fast as you can then walk a lap. Do this for a mile then build up to three miles. Try sprints for 30mins then stair climber for another 30 minutes. Weight lifting will help especially if you don't lift weights at all. Just keep the weight reasonably light and the reps up. Good Luck

Am I smart enough to take the intelligent advice that you're all giving me? God no.

Then don't bother posting retarded threads like this one. Are you a professional fighter? Are you fighting for a living? The answers to these are obviously no. After a back injury, jigga what? Hey fatass, even if you can drop the weight you will get KTFO.

Yeah, your back injury may have been due to the fact that you are overweight. Even at 240 that's way overweight. Extra weight on the frame like that leads to injuries that might otherwise be prevented. Lose the weight for a better and healthy lifestyle, including a better sex life, not for a fight that comes and goes.

At his height, it really depends on how much muscle mass he's carrying on his frame. I'm 5'10-11" and right now I'm fat, but there's a picture of me in the "what do you look like" thread in the gear & equipment section when I was about 255 or so. I wasn't hugely fat at that weight.

As a wrestler with plenty of weight cutting experience, i'd recommend for you to not do this. Unless you don't care about the result of the fight. There'll be other opportunities where you will be able to perform better.

+1

unless you want to lob a few limbs off to make weight it aint gonna happen

[Skidmarx]

You will lose a lot of muscle cutting that fast


Is there a reason you have to take this fight?
