Fighter’s Only in the UK has an interesting story about the Chris Leben-Mark Munoz fight this weekend. Leben came into the fight needing to cut 21 lbs on the day of the fight to make the contracted 185 pound limit.
Per Fighter’s Only:
A source close to Leben told Fighters Only on Friday that Leben had been left “shattered” by the amount of weight he had to cut on weigh-in day.
He was in the hotel sauna from Friday morning hooded up and wearing layers of clothing as he sweated water out of his body.
His dehydration and general condition was such that one of the medical team backstage said Leben would be pulled from the fight if thing deteriorated any further.
