How TJ Dillashaw cut weight for his Henry Cejudo fight

Dillashaw, the former bantamweight champ, agreed to butt heads with Henry Cejudo at 125 for all the marbles. If cutting around 10lbs to make the championship weight of a flyweight by a bantamweight isn't impressive, the fact that Dillashaw was well over the bantamweight limit itself boggles the mind.

Putting himself through one of the most rigorous training camps that included a massive weight cut, TJ Dillashaw did what fans thought impossible.

"I am a little f---ing insane. But it's nothing I couldn't do," said TJ Dillashaw, when asked about the entire process and what it took out of him.

However, in a bid to make weight safely, Dillashaw was forced to indulge in a series of malpractices. Aware of its illegality, TJ Dillashaw used a synthetic form of EPO called ProCrit. Dillashaw claimed that he was forced to turn to synthetic solutions as a response to the constant fatigue and mental stress that came with making such a drastic weight cut.

The cut had severe physiological effects on his body. A severe drop in his hematocrit levels is what prompted the use of EPO as a solution. However, he still suffered a rather humiliating loss at the hands of Henry Cejudo.
