Darren Till’s failure to make weight for his welterweight main event clash with Stephen Thompson has led to a litany of questions about the current UFC weigh-in system, but promotional newcomer Craig White quietly went about his business and lost 46-pounds to secure his debut against Neil Magny at the Liverpool event.
Like a lot of his peers, White has experience when it comes to extreme weight cuts. One of the most infamous pictures of “The Thundercat” shows him drenched in blood following his fight with Ireland’s John Redmond — a bout that he lost nearly 40-pounds to compete in.
