Max Holloway's Nutritionist Tyler Minton Breaks Down His Move Up To Welterweight For McGregor Fight
What was said
"Max is a very large 155 really. A large 55 is a 70 naturally. So yeah, we're still going to have a weight cut. But that being said, it's not one of those you have to fear, you have to worry about. So we've been able to focus purely on performance."
Despite moving up to welterweight to face Conor McGregor, Max Holloway will still need to cut weight for the 170-pound limit, according to his nutritionist Tyler Minton. Minton revealed Holloway is naturally a very large featherweight who could fight at welterweight without cutting, but still plans a moderate cut. The revelation underscores how even at higher weight classes, elite fighters manipulate their weight for competitive advantage.
