When it comes to cutting weight, there really is no magic bullet for fighters. And there really isn’t one for those of us who don’t step inside the cage, either.

Instead, it seems to be all about finding what works best for your body and then staying consistent with that.

In the video above, hear what fighters like Tim Kennedy, Diego Sanchez, T.J. Dillashaw, Kyle Noke, Robert McDaniel, Leonard Garcia and Patrick Cummins have to say about what works best for them when it comes to dropping weight before their fights.
