Mike ChiariAug 14, 2026

UFC fighters Edson Barboza, Neil Magny and Mackenzie Dern shared stories Thursday regarding the lengths they have gone to in order to cut weight before fights.

In a TikTok video for Bleacher Report, the trio of fighters gave some insight into the struggles that go into making weight for a UFC bout:

Barboza noted that he has passed out before waking up and continuing to cut, Magny said he drove to weigh-ins while wearing a sauna suit and with the heat on full blast in the car, and Dern divulged that she drank a beer in order to dehydrate herself.
