Losing weight or gaining weight - we all fight this supreme fight in our lives. But think about a boxer or mixed martial arts fighter in a particular weight category - they have no choice other than maintaining the pounds to fit the criteria.
If you are overweight before a fight, there is every chance of you getting disqualified. It was going to be the fate of MMA fighter Bobby Southworth as well, but he absolutely transformed himself just one day before the fight.
He lost 22 pounds in 24 hours, that is 9.97 kgs if you are wondering. That is insane to say the least. Southworth competed on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter back in 2004 and he was set to take on Lodune Sincaid in a preliminary fight. However, he had to cut an obscene amount of weight in order to make the fight and he originally made it very difficult to do so.
Southworth was regarded as a big talent during his time but he reportedly lacked the dedication to make it to the top.
He was forced to enter a sauna in an attempt to cut water weight and he was reluctant to do so. Furthermore, he had to be begged by his coach Chuck Liddell to stay in the sauna, which was set to 210 degrees. Liddell can be heard giving words of encouragement to Southworth.
He also attempted to escape from the sauna but Liddell had to forcibly hold the door shut to prevent his escape. It was an intense 24 hours for Southworth who was struggling to get himself in shape and lose the pounds to have a chance to make the fight.
Not only did he lost 22 pounds, but the next day he went on to knockout Sincaid in the first elimination match of the season. A crazy 24 hours rounded off by a performance fitting of the grind and determination.
