Was this just a curiosity on your part or did they mention something like this? I'm not even 100% sure I know how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even 100% sure I know how it works If the urine sample shows lack of hydration, you fail, thus resulting the same as missing weight. It's a much safer way to cut weight but I doubt Dana will ever allow it. Everyone that cuts the final 10 lbs of water weight for their weight class would essentially move up. LW and WW in ONE are 170 and 185. After stepping on the scale officially, the fighter provides a urine sample that is weighed and given a test to see if they are hydrated. If they aren't, they didn't make weight. Edited January 23, 2021 by BullsandBroncos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big poppa pump Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Conor has some distinct advantages in this fight. He is so quick, and accurate. Poirier should definitely try to bully him up against the cage, and try to wear him out. I am still shocked as to how big an underdog Poirier is. Is he the underdog? Yes...but 3 to 1? As far as Khabib. That's my dude, and the best p for p of all time, but..... He told Uncle Dana he's retired. This should be a title fight between Conor and Dustin. If Khabib were to ever come back, it shouldn't be as the champ. (not that it would matter) He would just win, and retire again anyways. They should have done a lightweight tourney for the belt. There certainly are 8 killers that would be down for that!!!!!

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I absolutely agree they should've done something like a tournament but 1. There's no way they leave Nate Diaz off the list even if he is undeserving 2. I'd be surprised if Holloway made the move since he seems like he's on the way to another FW title fight soon enough and he'd want to put the weight on properly for a Grand Prix. 3. There's no way they even allow something that fun to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max wouldn't be in the same class at 155. Only people at 145 in his class are Volk and probably a healthy Zabit. I don't see him doing it and Dana doesn't anymore. He said the only way he goes to 155 anytime soon is for a rematch with Conor because he can't see Conor sucking down to 145 ever again.
