In a recent interview with the Three Amigos Podcast, Aljamain Sterling discussed weight-cutting and the need for the UFC to be fair across the board when hiring weight management specialists for fighters.
The UFC's choice to have USADA head up their anti-doping program has yielded several changes, but the one that's being felt the most by the roster currently, is the IV re-hydration ban. Now that it's become official, fighters are looking to weight management specialists to handle their cuts and reloads.
The drawback to having a professional manage a weight cut is cost. For athletes that are outside the top earners tier, that expense can take quite a toll on a modest fight purse, making it difficult or even impossible for some to afford.
