About weight cutting process in MMA:
“I don’t agree with the whole weight cutting process, it is very unhealthy and very strong for the body. The Americans are kind of use to it as they come from a wrestling back ground from high school and then after that in to college. So for them its natural and they are use to the cutting weight process, for me I am all for getting weighed in on the day of the fight.”
