The weight was 100g higher than necessary when Diana Avsaragova stepped on the scale during an official inspection prior to the Bellator 262 tournament.
You don’t lose extra grams in an hour, so the Russian fighter was ready for a radical solution: cut his hair.
“But the man who did the weigh-in told me it wasn’t necessary. Also, this is not done, “said D. Avsaragova.
She chose another method to lose weight. He entered the weighing room without clothes, covering his body only with a towel.
When covered with curtains from the spectators, the fighter also threw a towel: she stood on the scale completely naked.
D. Avsaragova breathed easier, because it turned out that she no longer exceeded the allowed weight.
Tensions over this essential element of the fight had risen so much that the fighter even forgot about the video cameras around him.
“It just came to our attention then. Even if they hadn’t covered me, I wouldn’t have noticed anything. I felt so bad. All that was important to me was gaining the right weight,” Avsaragova told Eurosport.
The woman tried so hard that she even fell to the ground when she finished the weigh-in procedure during which she used the towel.
Lithuanian fighter Julia Stoliarenko, who passed out during the weigh-in procedure, was also in a bad position due to exhaustion from losing weight. After such an incident, he was not allowed to fight in the ring.
The suffering of D. Avsaragova paid off. She joined the fight and defeated Gabriella Gulfin according to the judges’ scores.
The 23-year-old athlete from Chechnya, who originated in the battle ring, has already won all four duels.
