One headline that’s shaking the gym floor right now is UFC veteran Paul Craig’s confession about his weight‑cutting nightmare. Craig tried to drop from 220 lb to 185 lb to fight at middleweight, but the extreme cut sparked an eating disorder, hormone swings, and constant infections.

His story is a stark reminder that cutting weight isn’t just about numbers on a scale—it can hit your health hard.
