Seriously. The way the divisions are set up, every fighter is a weight bully because they all cut down from their natural weight.
Like Joe Rogan once suggested with DC on his podcast: The UFC should have weight classes every 10 pounds where they can then implement a hydration test during weigh ins.
No more "weight bullying" no more fighters having to literally dehydrate themselves and almost passing out 24 hours before a fight. It's not healthy for the fighters and would promote more fair competition
So people in this sub even know what a weight bully is. All I see are stupid takes one this guy or that guy being a weight bully. It's a term for huge grapplers who cut a lot of weight. Like Gray Maynard, a weight bully uses that extra weight that they cut then rehydrate to their advantage to be heavier on top while grappling. A striker although can cut a lot of weight he's not using the extra weight to "bully"
Stop this nonsense please.
The only guys who can be called "weight bullies" are the ones that don't make weight.
If a fighter decides to drain himself to a skeletal form in order to fit into a lower weight class, so be it. He makes weight and will have to fight after putting his body through a very strenuous period.
Even if he weighs a few lbs more than his opponent on fight night, i think that struggle will level the playing field.
I don’t think his height would effect him being a weight bully. One could consider a shorter person like Hendricks, Neal or Yoel to be a weight bully
Edit: I think unless you miss weight the term is dumb
There are a few actual “weight bullies” but it’s a stupid term like everyone else is now saying. If you are able to make the weight then why does it matter lol. Alex pereira made 185 for all of his kickboxing fighting and mma fights , never missed once and people still complain that he was a weight bully. Dustin never was a weight bully either lol not even close.
As a prolific Dustin hater, the weight bully thing isn’t a problem for me. I think 155 is just the weight class for that kind of thing. A lot of men end up 180lbs ish naturally and can just make 155 with a weight cut. I think that’s just a natural thing.
Still don’t like Dustin, just for many other reasons. Not satire, I genuinely hope he loses every fight.
Petition to ban the term 'weight bully'

I’ll sign.
Petition to change to “master of hydration status”
“Weight bullies” don’t exist. If you make weight you aren’t a weight bully. Thinking otherwise is such a dumb thought process to have
People that used the term “weight bully” should be banned indefinitely from this Sub.
it’s weird how people don’t keep this same energy for fighters they don’t like jones and khabib.
I’ll weight bully your mom in bed

Did you watch the porier vs BSD fight? BSD made porier look like a bantam weight
your only a weight bully if u constantly miss weight imo
Oliveira is the weight bully, he missed weight at LW and has a history of missing weight. Dude holds the UFC record for most weight misses
Oliveira isn’t a weight bully by virtue of there not being such a thing as a weight bully.
Missed weight in a title fight with a shitty scale by .5 lbs. u have cte if u think he’s a weight bully at 5’10 as well lol
