How much weight does GSP drop???

[one-Punch]

I was looking at a thread in the non-stop boxing section, and someone said that GSP drops 30 pounds of weight to get to 170.

Is this true? I thought GSP didn't drop much weight before a fight. Which is why he has so much stamina during his fights.

i read that when he's not training he walks around 195

that doesn't mean he's cutting from 195

[-Swizzy-]

he has gone up as high as 195 but he usually hovers around 185.

ok, 15 pounds, that ain't to bad. Just the way the person made it sound. He would dehydrate from 200 to 170 to fight. I had a hard time believing this.

GSP right now is walking around at 195.

Before he walked around and came in on fight night weighing between 184-187. So he really doesn't cut anywhere near 30lbs.

But he's bulking now for a potential fight down the road against Silva.

I could find out what his weight is right now if you like. The tristar gym is less than 3 minutes from my house by car.

I was planning to get in shape for the summer anyway. Might do some boxing there because its the closest place for boxing training to my house. If I see him, I'll try and remember to ask him what his weight is.

GSP trains so hard i don't think cutting weight is a problem for him, he's probably burning 2-3 lbs of calories a day when he trains. i doubt he's dehydrating himself to make weight, i think he leans down gradually in the two weeks before each fight

GSP cuts down from about 187-188 lbs, he doesn't believe in cutting huge amounts of weight because he believes it can shorten your career

I was the one who posted that in NSB.


According to Ed Soares, he's bulked up a bit after the groin injury and is walking around at around 195.


Its a huge cut to make 170, but I think the craziest weight cut has got to be Rumble Johnson's. He is just massive, and I have met him in person, and I just can't imagine how he could be any lighter than 215 in between fights.

17-18 pounds is alot,and I wouldn't be surprised if he cuts down from a higher weight than that.

You just have to look at him against Thiago Alves.Alves is notorious for cutting down and putting on alot of weight coming into the fight,and he looked small compared to Georges St.Pierre.


St.Pierre is afraid to move up a weight class and challenge himself.He knows that he has a weak chin,as shown when a lown up lightweight midget knocked him out.
