Dr Chael Is undefeated undisputed in hydration knowledge.
He's never lost a drop 😅
Word.
Chael: If you aren't dead, you aren't dehydrated Me: Ok great
For Real!!)
Dr Chael
You are not far off. In high school I knew a teammate that cut 7 lbs in 3 hours for a wrestling match. In college I knew some one who cut 24 lbs in 24 hours. In hindsight... we were all insane, and I can't believe we're still alive. But that's the world Chael comes from.
"Eatin' salt and table butter" is my new life goal.
I've already had 8 sticks of butter and a 5 lb bag of salt since this video was dropped. I'm going to hit the ground running! 😂
I do...
We used to have weigh ins ever quarter. If you were over 300 you couldnt go to work because the safety gear we use wasnt rated for the weight.
Stripper?
Same. Our weight limit was 260. A shocking number of people were over
If there is a world record for saying a lot, w/o saying anything, Chael should be the soul owner of said record.
Undefeated, undisputed champ!
I just got interrogated at my job. I spoke for 30 mins and said literally nothing
It’s a talent lol. Chael is good
It's a very unique situation...
KJP from White House says more nothing's...
Funny she came into the UFC as soon as USADA is gone...
THATS ACTUALLY CRAZY !!!!!!!
Everyone has been saying this.
Okay, but didn't she compete at 155 in Bellator/PFL?
She is probably coming off the juice and that’s how she can make 35
@@Pappy85she won gold at Olympic judo as a 78kg which is like 170lbs 🫨🫨
Idk what chael calls it but I've many been working all day in the hot sun in Florida and cramped up and been faint. I don't take care of myself like Chael I smoke and drink bottles of soda in between bottles of water. Have gone to the hospital s couple times. I think that's dehydration? Heat stroke? It happens to old people in Florida all the time especially if there is a power outage
The one thing Chael forgot to mention was that at the one 145lb fight she took for Invicta she was also allowed to use elbows for the only time in her career. And oh boyyyy did she use them.
100% She painted the canvas with that poor girl
So she becames this juggernaut just by adding elbows. Okey we will see
It was honestly gruesome
So what will happen is Amanda N is currently training, Holly will be "injured" and she will step in against a bigger Kayla at a catch weight
Not exactly true. Casinos like Borgata in AC weigh their cocktail waitresses and they can only gain a certain amount of weight. It’s in their employment contract
She won gold medals at over 170. The cut is going to be tough
I was a marathoner and walked around at 156lbs. I tried to cut down to 149 and absolutely could not make it. 150.5 was as low as I could get after a 20 miler with no water. Imagine her at 165, lean and trying to get to 135! Not healthy to attempt.
I think people forget that she's got more muscle on her than a lot of men. Muscle equals water weight. She'll be squeezing every drop out of all that meat. It's gonna be brutal.
When I realised I could lose some weight I was 200lbs at 5'10. At my peak I was entering into the 130 range. That's when I decided to stop it. Managed to push through plateaus by upping calories a bit for one or 2 weeks then lowering them back down. She will have to lose a ton of muscle. She won't look like the same person. I did all that over 3 years. Whatever she's doing to hit 135lbs will not be good for her and I wouldn't be surprised if Holm beat her because of it.
It will be worse than cyborgs cut. I’m pretty sure she had a rough time at 145.
Weigh-ins in judo occur shortly before the matches and I'm pretty sure she didn't cut much if any weight back then. It doesn't mean making 135 won't be hard for her but I doubt she won't make it.
I thought it meant she was gunna cut her mgs of test down haha
Lmao 😂😂😂 I can't even be mad at that as a huge Kayla fan.
The fight no one saw coming.... nor asked for.
ONE FC: We’ve solved weight cutting! UFC: We’re going to brutalize Kayla Harrison.
One are biggest scam with that hydration test. Been shown how easy it is to beat.
And about 2/3 of ONE's fights seem to be catchweight, it's kind of weird
@@clayton97330So? I think that's smarter than making someone go down a weight class be all but drained from the weight cuts. When I did judo tournaments in my teens, my dad never let me cut more than 10 pounds off for that tournament and he'd even make me weigh in a week before the tournament to make sure I wasn't cutting too far. However, I do see it as a testament to these guys and what they can really do when they still have to cut down 20 pounds.
@zaynes5094 so you end up having somebody fight somebody bigger with even more of a disadvantage because the bigger person didn't even have the inconvenience of cutting weight.
ONE has absolutely *not* solved weight cutting. It's nothing but PR and you fell for it.
Harry needs to come clean about the roids 🤠☕
Conor McGregor said McGregor on 300 seals the deal and Michael Chandler retweeted somebody saying something along the lines of this is what UFC 300 is setting up to be so far, to which Chandler said TBD ( to be determined) that's the main event
Two has been fighters? Not very interesting
Think he meant 300 as in lbs. lol 😂
@@Prosecute-faucicasual
@doctormike would love your take on the dehydration breakdown here
Tito tapped
Damn right he did
Flight nurses and paramedics need to also weigh in for their jobs due to weight limits on their Medevac flights. Love your content uncle Chael!
I already know there's going to be some memes about this. I can just tell if it hasn't already happened, it will happen soon. Here's the thing about Kayla, she probably did weigh a 145 lbs in high school, I've been 180 lbs since I was a junior in HS because I just couldn't drop all that weight down to 138 lbs after my freshman year in wrestling. In judo, my sensei never let us cut weight further than 10 lbs and would weigh us a week prior to a tournament so that we were at where we were SUPPOSED to be. I still run 4 miles, 3 days a week, cross training with mountain biking and hiking the other days, and I still weigh in around 190. So, for her to go from weighing, during her competitive Olympic years, 170 lbs to 145 lbs is not hard to do, BUT when you are not used to being anything other than what she was when she competed in that sport for all those years.
Do you mind if I ask you how old you are? I'm 58 years young I lift 3 times a week. 4 too 5 times a week I,go to my buddy's MMA gym. Submission wrestling, sometimes regular wrestling but it's too tough on the body and light sparring. You are a beast, stay on your grind. Keep that body healthy. I was just impressed with what you do. I think we do it because we have, the wrestling background.
Thanks for calling this out. I can't believe she can get to 135
It's a he not a she
Even 145 is a tough weight cut for it. I'm not sure it will make 135.
If, as a carpenter, u walked into a random Burger King and just started removing screws from the building. Somebody would sue u, and they would win... It's a very unique situation...
I used to Powerlift. I did a “test cut” months out from my comp. Cut from 220 to 198 lb. I didn’t lift the next day to see what I could do. Probably should have. I went 8 of 9. Not bad. Only did this once, but yeah, I understand the concept of a test cut.
Undefeated undisputed give ur rating on ufc 300
PFL now has USADA testing and the UFC doesn't. Harrison jumped over, just saying. I come to Chael only to hear what the UFC has told him to promote as most of us do.
UFC has DFSI in accordance with WADA standards now, just saying.
I'm just saying how's that fence u sitting on...uncle chael is talking nonsense she's clean!
“Test” cut. Test can mean 2 things in this situation lol
Because she didn’t get tested 1000+ times while competing in the Olympics at 170 🤦♂️ and oh yeah they still have drug testing
Saying, I was tested a lot 12-8 YEARS AGO is exactly why I am suspect.@@Mojo_Jo_Jo_
That’s insane! She’s going to be so miserable trying to stay near that weight year round. He body wants to be much bigger. I’m sure 175 was already with her being on a diet year round and training hard as well as cutting weight. She probably walked around at 190 at least. If you’re already in good shape and focusing on staying light it would be so freaking hard to get to 135z you would have to malnourish yourself on purpose and do a ton cardio to burn your off most of your muscle. How are you going to perform with half your muscle mass gone. Even the muscle she has left is going to be weaker because it’s not fueled properly
Undefeated, Undisputed
Opening statement about weight cutting/ coming to work on weight. Pilots homie. Rotor and fixed wing (but more rotor) pilots show up for weight and balance every day for commercial flights. Not airlines but a ton of part 135 flights are W&B critical.
long distance running can reduce muscle mass if low fat
When your body is done burning fat it only takes a 600 calorie deficit to lose a pound of muscle. Losing muscle is one of the easiest things to do during a cut, it usually happens unintentionally. Cyborg absolutely refused to quit lowerlifting or lose any muscle to make 135. Harrison is willing to do it.
Kayla is massive for someone who has to cut to 135lbs...🤷♂
Steroids vs no steroids. She’s been on juice her whole career and has made a living from it.
It's a dude not a she
Bisping wakes up dehydrated everyday
I get dehydrated because I have severe chrons and a colostomy.
Brooo, I thought the thumbnail was Matt Riddle
The UFC should have just made this fight at 145 pounds
Against who? A 135er who has to add fat.
@robertsimpson2133 uhm don't think u understand how weight works? 135 is 135
I think Ariel said the UFC got rid of 145 woman division already. That's why she's cutting weight and took fight with. Holly in the first place
@@kev30631 already? Wow
Ufc has no challenges for her, she will beat all of them. Pfl/Bellator right now has more
I love Chanel. And he ain’t wrong.
I also love Chanel.....it's such a wonderful fragrance.😅
Jarrod cannonier vs Usman at mw & Colby vs Wonder boy to replace the last two woman fights that were announced on UFC 300
Table butter and salt do not cause heart attacks. You mean to say refined oils causing heart attacks!
Instead of weight classes they should have height classes. Get rid of the whole weight cut nonsense and have fighters at peak performance all the time.
Kayla shouldve stayed at pfl, I would much rather see her fight cyborg than holm!! And Ive heard Kayla say herself,many,many times in interviews, that there is no way she could make such a low weight,and if she did, she wouldnt be able to compete. So I just dont get why she would do this,just as pfl has purchased bellator,and the cyborg fight,that the whole mma community has wanted to see,is not only possible,but the guy who runs pfl says publicly that they want to make that fight happen asap. I guess Dana offered the kind of money she cant refuse. So now,instead of an amazing legacy,its Ill go for the money and fight a woman,with all due respect,I love holm,but she is way past her prime,,ill go fight someone much older,who is a boxer/kickboxer,and Im the ground and pound queen. If the ufc really wanted to put on a great fight with Kayla,,give her Meisha tate!!! After Tates last performance, shit, thats a fight Id happily pay for.
Kayla doesn't want that Cyborg smoke
Kayla doesn't want to fight cyborg. Get real. There's a different in losing a fight and getting beaten up badly.
@@kev30631 Agreed. Now what happens when Nunes returns? Don't think Kayla ever dreamed that would happen but, apparently, it is. Should be very interesting.
@@socalogp7296 Kayla and Nunes used to be training partners. So that's more familiar than fighting a unknown factor in cyborg or rematch Pacheco who's got her number, an could possibly humiliate her again.
Kayla would maul miesha worse than what she did to Holmes. Ufc got nothing for Kayla.
She's bigger than I am with a 205 bench for reps at 190lbs as a dude lmfao
Yeah but in 6 months you will throw up more weight.
@batboy555 lol dude isn't sad about just sayin that's a jacked broad, she's huge 😂
You rep a 205 bench?
@2:18 I heard “taste your blood” on first listen Lord Chael Dracula: undefeated, undead
It’s funny she finally comes over now that Amanda is gone… this is a going to the bathroom fight. If, if I even get UFC300. The main event better be a banger for sure.
Chael, you say you read the comments. If that is true prove it. Give this comment a heart.
Sometimes they do weight us in football some teams even fine you if your over/under weight
Spent 38 years building swimming pools, yeah I've been dehydrated! Drink 2 gallons of water a day and never pee, buy a lemon-lime Gatorade and pour salt into it to make cramps go away. I'm no athlete, but I have worked all my life. And I do eat butter. I can't cut/gain weight, I've weighed 265 for the last 35 years. I love Kayla!!
Kayla ran to the ufc as soon as Cyborg became the only draw left for her. She ran as fast as GDR vacated the belt.
Yep, and the minute Nunes returns, she will run again.
@socalogp7296 Ufc has nothing for Kayla. She will run through all the women. Nunes is her only challenge and nunes ain't the same. Pfl/Bellator beats ufc again
@@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 Beating a 42 year old Holly is beating the UFC? Juliana subs Kayla rd 2.
Is this all happening while she's under USADA testing or whatever it's called now? I only share that question with you because it made me think of T.J. Dillashaw and what he had to do to drop down to 125lns...
FWIW offensive linemen absolutely do get weighed in and FINED if they're underweight in some cases.
Chael is insinuating she takes steroids by showing he picture ripped and calling it “Test cut” as it testosterone cut
The second Cris "Cyborg Brand" Justino said Kayla would never make 135 I knew Kayla would make 135
Uncle Chael. Can you confirm or deny this new rumor about 2 more divisions and McGregor Chandler for the 165 belt. Please? 🤘🏽🐼🤘🏽 on a video of course 😁😎
Chael I challenge you to quote 1 person that doesn't work for a broadcaster that was/ is looking fwd to a Kayla fight
Isn't there a weight requirement for fire fighters?
there is at top strip clubs
Disappointed, I saw the thumbnail and I thought Matt Riddle was coming back to UFC. WTF 😳
You figure out the main event for UFC 300 yet?!
I agree, I really doubt she has tested herself down to that. It’s something you want to do the least times possible. I think she’ll do it though. Someone who has won 2 Olympic golds doesn’t fail the weight cut for her first fight in the UFC
*some football players do have to weigh in on some sort of a schedule and will be fined. But, you’re right…idt they ever have to do a weight check before a game😂
You have to pass a physical in nfl and players do have to weigh a certain wight at some positions its worked into there contract
Interesting that he mentions being stranded in the desert and Evan Tanner in the same video
At least we get to see how she stacks up. Definitely don’t think she was running from cyborg though even though I would…. lol
Then she was running from having to rematch the woman who took her belt then .
Ufc has no challenge for her. Look what she did last night. Right now PFL/Bellator has better challenges
@@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 hahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh my God, thank you for that that just made my night. They put her up against the 42 Holly home who has slowed down considerably. The 135 division may not be what it once was, but it’s definitely better than the B league
@@feedthewolf6930 Who do they have that can give Kayla a challenge? Amanda is gone. PFL/Bellator has several names
@@feedthewolf6930 Kayla will run through Pennington easily. She will beat all the ufc women. But there are names in Bellator/PFL that will give her problems
Lord Chael
Fyi asking height weight and age is definitely illegal but common place in the construction industry
I can tell you one more industry that will weigh people before they can do their job… high fashion models As a former international male model for 10+ years - I have seen many girls get weighed in weekly by their agencies… and contracts get canceled if their weight and/or shape changes too much
Jockeys have to make weight too
Same with Vegas performers/dancers
*test cut* chael is the best lol. It’ll be cool to see Layla fight without her test
I'm curious how she is going to look. She will be faster but not as strong, if she can't take Holly down then she will get picked apart on the feet. I'm ready to see how it goes!!
This didn't age well. She too big too strong and will run through ufc. Pfl/Bellator right has more challenges for her.
It could be done if she conditioned herself in a manner that would cause her to lose muscle mass but I’ve seen Kayla she would have to get extremely lean and muscle down a bit to probably hit 135 and that’s with dehydration included .
Ufc 300 looking to be a let down. We've been told i was going to be amazing. Dricus Sean. Or Tom v Alex need to be on the card
It was awesome
@@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 yup it was. I spoke too soon!
Glad you explained what a test cut meant. I don’t think any of us would of been able to figure it out, since at can’t Google it. Still undefeated.
Kayla is going to be so drained that Holly going to give her the Rousey treatment. Holly by ko round 3
You said it right there.. she’s cutting the test lol
Saw plenty of dehydration on Paris Island 😂
thats not why football players are having heart attacks
Hey unc has Holly and Kayla been in the testing pool 6 months?
“First ballot hall of famer” implies there is a voting process for the ufc, which has never been the case
Nah i almost died as a kid from being dehydrated like for real i was sick
Did Kayla Harrison in her adult life ever weigh 135lbs? There is not a chance that that happened, Chael out
Sean strickland said it best "we get paid to make weight"
I think Kayla's gonna look 145 at 135
test cutting to 135 CSO CHAMP SHIT ONLY LETS GO #champion #mindset #varsity
Chillax Sonnennnnnn...
Kayla is a tank! No way she’s making 135! 🤦♂️
Dehydration causes electrolyte imbalance which is usually what is life threatening, lol doesn’t matter about you being thirsty or not 😂 but ok Chael
That thumbnail, looks like some surfer dude hitting a double bicep
Are we Just gonna ignore the facts that She Kayla Harrison Ran From Cris Cyborg???? Are we gonna ignore the elephant in the room which is Cris Cyborg who also wants to fight Amanda Nunes at ufc 300??? Am I the only one that noticed that if so I'll just go back to a corner
Uneasy refused a rematch with cyborg and I don’t blame her. People say Nunes is the woman’s GOAT but her resume shows otherwise.
Nunes face planted Cris cyborg.
@@kev30631Cyborg will beat nunez. Nunes got subbed by pena. 😆. The first win by nunes was a flukr
This man is out here casually gaslighting doctors and science like it’s talking about why he’ll never eat at a restaurant again. Undefeated. Undisputed
Hopefully he'll never stay at a hotel again either.
Test Cut, I legit assumed this meant she was getting off testosterone injections prior to drug testing
Thought that was Matt riddle
Psst.. @ kayla harrison Uncle Chael threw you the lay up! (You're supposed to come back now)
It happened to be on my birthday, which was late june, and I happened to be moving. And yes I do live in a desert, las vegas, and while moving i was so busy and distracted i consumed no fluids while packing and moving. After i had moved my uhaul broke down on the freeway in nearly 120° heat... which extended my time for which i had nothing to drink. I went to the e.r. with leg cramps that night that had me screaming in pain. I could not walk to use the bathroom, the pain was too much.. 2, 3 iv's and a few bottles of body armor l was back in business.. I say all that that to say this.. i actually did have dehydration. to be fair The answer to both your questions was yes.. I was in a desert and had nothing to drink.. That will do it...
It's a smart move from Kayla. Lose: she can blame the weight cut.
Holmes is never going to be as good on the ground as Kayla is. Someone also said Kayla has also experienced the mental hurdle of a fight lose and came back and won . The only thing that stops her is if shes medically uncleared and stopped because he life is a issue. Other than that she goes in there and wins, like this set up fight was suppose to go.
@@kev30631Holly has deadly kicks though and Kayla hasn't had to deal with someone with this much experience really. Kayla also has horrible striking skills currently. Sure, she will work on it, but I've seen those who come up from kickboxing and Muay Thai and karate, who have much higher latent skills because they're more dangerous on their feet. Sure, a takedown and wrestling specialist with a black belt in jiu jitsu or judo will help in that, but like this one girl Stamp Fairtex, she's been raking in the dough with her last few fights and is like "why bother going to the UFC where I could possibly lose the fights, and still get paid the same as I'm getting paid right now as the champ."
@@zaynes5094Maybe Holly brings back those oblique kicks she used to throw. I expect her to revert back to her old style keeping distance, using footwork. Dunno who stamp is but Kayla has been doing the same. Collecting easy money in the PFL.
@@zaynes5094 Holly holm beat Rhonda in 2015. That is close to a (decade) ago. Holly is 42 years old, way past her prime. Kayla is 33 an still in the middle of that prime range. On the tail end though . Glover texieria is (was) miles better than holm and he was done at 38. I just don't see it for Holly in my opinion.
@@SuppermegamonkeyDidn't age well
Just don’t eat it’s literally that easy
You are actually wrong abo ur nfl guys, there are some that have it in their contract.
Same thing with the Millitary. No matter what problem you they will say you are dehydrated.
Chael has obviously never been around Horse Race Tracks and Jockeys
In the thumbnail if this video, Kayla looks like Matt Riddle 😂
holly still underdog
Yeah, kayla been whooping up on pacheco in the pfl except the last fight. And that brazilian is a KILLER. Also stylistically i think its a bad match up. Holly always has a chance though
@@justinsundby2483Uhhhh, no. Senior citizen Holly has a snowball's chance in Hell.
@@Cucumberdrxshe has a puncher’s chance (especially with her experience) but I wouldn’t bet on it 😂 She’ll be gassed if she makes it to R2
If Kayla stops the PEDs and loses the roid muscle she has put on over the years, I’m sure she can make 135. Has to drop the PED muscles.
this. She is already a lot smaller and more feminine looking in her most recent photos. There is one of her next to Dustin Porier and she def looks "female" sized. Her shoulders aren't popping off her body either.
@@paulcox2447You know, I don't know if the women in ONE get busted a lot for PEDs, since they're obviously using some form of testosterone to make them heal faster and be stronger. HOWEVER, the way I see it with Stamp Fairtex is that she may well be on some kind of testosterone, but she also has gotten better in jiu jitsu and judo and wrestling, because coming into MMA and ONE she was only ever a standing striker with great Muay Thai and kickboxing accolades. Now she's pretty young in terms of MMA, she's only been doing grappling training since she was 21, she's only 26 now and is the champ AND has 2 submission wins as well as 2 submission losses, but she also is still pretty much a baby with only 20 MMA fights and only 4 losses. She would be very easy to market for Dana White because she has the fanbase and has a solid ground game now. So it's not so clear if she's on the stuff or if she's actually just done a lot more ground work which has made her more muscular. If Dana were smart, he'd market toward a ONE/UFC deal in signing Stamp for a 1-fight deal at let's say 300 grand, then if she won that fight against whoever he matched her against, whether by KO or decision, or even if she lost it, she would then have a chance from him if he liked her enough to market her in fights. She'd have some absolute monsters to go through, but I think if she actually went and worked with Amanda Nunes or someone in the UFC as a partner, she'd get a lot better.
Guys that's paddy pimblet. This is a finkle and Ienhorn situation of the highest order. Aside from cyborg/Wanderlei of course... but its crazy dude's gettin away with it.
Bet you a dollar Cyborg ,Nunes. Will be the main event
She's just gonna switch her stack like Jose Aldo did when he went down to Men's 135lbs. Don't worry people. 😂
