Either way this weight cutting shit needs to be banned.
Fight at ur fucking natural weight or you don't fight. Period
This shit is beyond ridiculous and entirely pointless to boot
It looks like they are going to wait for someone to die.
A stroke is fucking scary but it would completely explain all the symptoms that max exhibited.
It sure the hell would.
Looks like Brian shoulda took the interim fight offer. Who knows what happens
if this turns out to be true
dehydrating the body to dangerous levels intentionally is just a horrible thing
fighting the next day is just insane
coach told me I would dominate the district or whatever at 150 something and I decided to play basketball instead
I was a lean 170 at the time and the wrestlers in rubber suits didn't make any sense to me...bad mofos but I hate extreme heat.

I still think that Ortega was smart to not take the Stephens fight on short notice but i agree it could be a real long time before max is back if he had a stroke.
You think Dana will fuck him outta the Title shot for not taking
the Jeremy fight?
It’s definitely a possibility. At least Ortega doesn’t have a wife that Dana fancies otherwise he’d be fucked.
wait whos wife does Dana fancy?
I really, really hope Max is ok. This is just the last straw though. This nonsense needs to be BANNED. It is such a ridiculous practice. For God's sake Ortega and Max walk around at the same weight (as do 99% of fighters in the same weightclass) yet they dehydrate themselves to the point of organ failure or stroke(!) and then fight....
open weight had it right...fight with your brain fully protected and your body fully healthy
these guys are leaving half of their skill and stamina and strength on the scale and sauna floor
I wanna see the worlds best MMA guys at their absolute best...not gonna happen with guys depleting their mojo to deadly levels
TRUTH
If he suffered a stroke, then he definitely shouldn’t fight again, let alone cut any more weight
Being a bad mo fo isnt always a good thing
I wonder if this is coming from the random Twitter account that I saw several MMA journos talking about.
The guy said he thought it was Bell's Palsy and even referred to that as a "mini stroke" which is very wrong other than they can cause paralysis on one side of the body.

I was going to eat a large bowl of mashed potato, then decided to eat fewer than that.
I'm calling bullshit.

Nah bro it was confirmed by an unknown Twitter account
If Max never fights again, Brian's next fight will be for the championship...on a full camp, against a known opponent - instead of a 'surprise' opponent on 2 days notice.
Brian made the smart move. Frankie/Aldo/Stephens...who's going to jump Brian for a title fight if Max retires?
