All 3 had trouble making weight and all 3 had disasters in the ring, could this be a concidence ? or is there more to this than meets the eye ?
I think staying hydrated is an essential element to keeping function going (should be common sense). I think moreso than anything else it's dehydration that has the effect of making fighters more prone to brain injury. Same day weigh-ins would certainly help this issue.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
