Diego Sanchez Gained Over 26 Pounds In Less Than a Day

One fighter who doesn’t let anything stop him is Diego Sanchez. 

Throwing fists his way? That won’t stop him from walking forward. IV ban? That won’t stop him from cutting incredible amounts of weight. Diego cuts more than two full weight classes in between weigh-ins and fight night.

Cutting weight is normal and every fighter does it, but it’s kind of scary to know Diego is dehydrating himself so much at a lighter weight class becuase he’s known for being no stranger to taking head shots, and when you dehydrate yourself to cut weight the area around the skull that protects the brain takes the longest to rehydrate.

Using an IV to rehydrate works more effectively than just drinking, but it is also a way to mask steroid use to that’s why it has been banned.

Sanchez has been in the fight game since 2002, and he won the very first season of The Ultimate Fighter. He’s been a fan favorite and an exciting fighter since then. Lately, he likes to just stand and trade rather than relying on his wrestling, but that style leads to taking a lot of damage as well.
