Mike Dolce is in the wrong business. Do you know how much money this guy could make coaching corporate branches that are in weight loss competitions? Hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars. Instead of a few fighters a year he could be peeling the fat off of entire floors of cubicle bound fatsos. I guess it's apples and oranges though, the corporate weight loss competitors would want to keep the weight they just lost off, while Mr. Dolce is perfectly fine with his fighter clients regaining an almost superhuman amount of weight within just a few hours.

Weight cut challenged Thiago Alves came in at 170.5 on the scale for his fight tonight against Martin Kampmann at UFC on FX2. The incredible and possibly Guinness World Records worthy part of this whole tale about how much a man weighs is this: According to Mike Dolce, Thiago regained nearly thirty pounds in three hours. There is even a picture of feet on a scale and everything to prove it. Is this really possible? Apparently it is possible. Now is it wrong that I don't care so much about the whole argument of fighters cutting insane amounts of weight thus giving themselves possible advantages and I'm more concerned with why the Guinness Book of World Records wasn't there to document this? Are there records for weight gains? A brief search yielded only this depressing result.

Thanks to IFI for the gif.

Nothing Dolce does is different from intelligent weight cutting. He has no secret principles that aren't readily available online from other, more established sources. 30lbs is on the high-end for a post-cut, but not ridiculous at all.

Still, it's good to see he's not looking like he's about die when he steps on the scale, it looks like he's lost quite a bit of muscle mass
well, compared to this

That's about a gallon of liquid every hour with no pissing.

bc the middleweight guys weigh 220...ufc is actually the Ultimate Diet Competition where evryone is afraid of someone their own size. so they starve in order to fight smaller people BUT since they al do it the fights are pointless anyway. they should just both show up at their walkaround weights like Fedor....

I lost 9 lbs overnight. Still to this day I don't understand how it's even possible. I didn't sweat, weighed myself on the same scale, didn't piss... on the flip side... I gained 13lbs in three days once, but that was with the help of something called "Dutch Flowers" :)

Props to Alves for getting this down and respecting his opponent/the game

I once lost 13lbs in one night too, but I had a terrible stomach bug. Coming out both ends at the same time.

Pretty cool. I don't see it so much in real life, but on the games they always give Alves the most T-Rex reach I've ever seen. All I can think about until Alves does something awesome are those little T-Rex arms he has in the games.

Could be pulling a Lauzon where that weight isn't 100% accurate.
Although, food, drinks, clothing, and IV doesn't make 27lbs that crazy.

I'm glad Dolce is in Vitor's corner as well. However many pounds a person puts on is their choice, but I remember the Vitor/Johnson weigh in's on the second day and Vitor weighed 204 before there fight....so he put on 19 pounds in one day. We'll find out later tonight if he gasses or not, my guess is he wont.

They actually removed his entire digestive system though his anus, leaving only vital organs to pump/filter blood. The removed organs were later replaced, intro-anally, and all seems to have gone as planned. We are going to see this much more in the UFC.
