In a very interesting and insightful article written by Scott Harris<\/a>, for Bleacher Report, UFC lightweight Jim Miller talked about his weight cut procedure and how miserable it really is. He also mentions that it might not seem so now, but the things fighters do to cut weight for every fight might end up taking years off of their lives in the long run.<\/p>\n

The scary part is that Miller admits compared to some other fighters, his cut isn’t even considered to be on the ‘extreme’ side.<\/p>\n

Here’s what he had to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it has definitely had an effect on my body. It\u2019s something I don\u2019t feel today, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it took a couple years off my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of miserable. You get kind of foggy. It\u2019s hard to make decisions. I get a headache, a little bit of weakness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMy cut, is not on the extreme end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you think the extreme weight cutting in MMA should be regulated more for the fighter’s safety?
