Could Machida cut to 185lbs?

He can definitely make 185 with his current body fat level.

13 lbs of water can easily be cut.

I don't think so, not and still be competitive.

It would barely effect his performance - 13 lbs is not a big cut for a 200lb man. Wrestlers of that size routinely make far bigger cuts.

But you don't know how much he has already cut to get to where he is at.

Why on earth would he cut to 199 when 206 is ok?

He wouldn't. He is 199 without cutting.

From here he could skip breakfast (1 lb), drink nothing (2lbs) have an enema (2lbs), a salt bath to lose subcutaneous water (another few lbs). After that he may need to sweat a little, but like I said it is a relatively small cut with no serious repercussions for performance.

Don't forget about taking a Dump before weigh ins...

I don't know, I would like someone to ask him why he came in at 199, if he is there with out cutting, of couse he can make 185, but if his scales were off and he just cut too much, that is a differant situation all together.

Ok now I'm hearing that Ryoto is a friend and training partner of Anderson Silva, so even if he could drop to 185 I doubt he would as long as he is in the UFC.
