too much, I was filling out. I wasn’t monitoring anything, and I hadn’t touched the surface of a scale in nine months. When I weighed myself in September, I came in at a whopping 208 pounds, which is massive for a welterweight (170 pounds). I was working out, doing yoga and other exercises, but I was fat as shit. I wasn’t doing any striking, any jiu-jitsu—really, nothing in the way of actual fight training.
