K.J. Noons funderar på att stanna i weltervikt

Lättviktaren K.J. Noons tog sig under onsdagen an Sam Stout, ett möte som dagarna innan ”UFC: TUF Nations Finale” ändrades till en welterviktsmatch. Nyligen meddelade Noons att han kan tänka sig en permanent flytt till weltervikt, då K.J. bland annat inte tycker det är sunt att banta så pass mycket som han gör.

Här kan ni läsa vad Noons hade att säga, via ”MMAJunkie”:

I’d definitely consider it. Sometimes the weight cut is so tough, you just don’t feel the same. I felt great in there. I was still around 170 for the fight and usually after cutting to 155, I’m like 175 to 180 because your body holds onto the water the next day.

I saw him the day before weigh-ins. We met each other, and we saw that we were kind of the same weight, and we did not have that much weight to lose. He said, ‘Why kill ourselves? Why don’t we put on a great fight and fight at what we would be at after weigh-ins anyway?’ So I could tell I was different by not having to cut that weight. I felt great, I didn’t feel bloated, and my body felt awesome. I feel at 170 like I feel at 155. I just feel healthier.

You deplete your kidneys by cutting weight and dehydrate your heart. You never know. I personally think when you dehydrate so much – this isn’t medical – but I feel like you can get knocked out easier because you can’t recover as fast. We don’t want people to be slurring because of head trauma and cutting weight.

I’m down to bring Nick Diaz out of retirement for our rubber match. I feel like I’m back. I’m down for 170, I’m down for 155.

K.J. avslutade Sam via KO trettio sekunder in i första ronden, och har nu radat upp två raka segrar i UFC.
