Medical experts discuss How MMA Athletes Can Better Manage Their Weight, backed up by evidence-based medical research. The talk at 2021 IMMAF Technical Seminar Week was hosted by Dr Carl Langan-Evans PhD ASCC SENr, Ben Crighton MSc and Christopher Kirk MSc CSCS. They examine the current evidence of the influence of weight cutting on success in amateur and professional MMA; the negative physiological consequences of extreme weight cutting in MMA; and how this process can be better managed by athletes, coaches and teams to support long term fighter health and performance.
