UFC light heavyweight Gian Villante has a message for fighters struggling on the scale: Do your job. Villante (16-9 MMA, 6-6 UFC) walks around at 250 pounds, well into heavyweight territory. He cuts 15-20 pounds on the week of his fights and notes, “It doesn’t matter how low you get – it always sucks every time.” But he guts it out and makes weight – he’s never missed on the UFC scale – because there isn’t another option.
