UFC light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was the last fighter to hit the scales at today’s UFC 220 early morning weigh-in.
He made the weight, but he didn’t look great doing it.
With only twenty minutes until the final cut off, Cormier came out, completely undressed and with a towel at his waste, to make his UFC 220 co-main event title fight official.
In the aftermath of today’s weigh-in D.C. revealed just how tough his latest cut was, and also shared a photo of himself shedding the final grueling pounds.
Check it out:
