Mike Dolce blames coaches for fighters missing weight since start of early weigh-ins

Exponentially more fighters have missed weight in the UFC since early weigh-ins began last June. Mike Dolce believes he knows why.

The high-profile MMA nutrition coach, who has worked with the likes of Ronda Rousey and Chael Sonnen, blames his coaching peers for not adapting to the new time to weigh-in, he told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.

“It’s lack of credible coaching, lack of credible oversight,” Dolce said. “They’re not working with teams that are not truly skilled in proper nutrition, medical nutrition, therapy and weight management. We know exactly what time we have to weigh in.
