Avoid cardio first thing in the morning and before a workout

it depends on how much you cut, and there are benefits to cutting weight to a fight, cause the fighters that do don't way the same at fight time as they do at weigh in. So yes I would rather cut and be 10 lbs heavier then an opponent that is naturally that weight.
I'm sure you also heard Joe Rogan comment about someone being small for a weight class and they should drop down to a lighter class.

Yeah that's also very strange to me, why would they have to cut to make weight and then be able to pack on all the weight they can before the fight, seems like they've defeated the point. This weight classification stuff is very odd, and it's very unhealthy to cut weight so drastically. I think guys should just fight at whatever their lean weight is. I mean they're so concerned with weight but you can fight a guy who's much taller and has longer-reach, so this logic considers one advantage but dismisses another. I like the old style of UFC where they took all classes and weights and threw them in there, it's more realistic and more exciting. It was crazy to see a super technical guy with agility take apart a big heavy weight with massive power, like Gracie vs Severn. Or see a heavy weight pummel a smaller guy with speed. Plus head butts should be legal, there's too much wrestling on the ground and trying to get into just the right position to ground and pound. I want to see an open and savage fight where they don't hold back or have to live inside the box of UFC regulations. You can kill a guy with a punch to the temple just the same as the back of the head. It's weird stipulations.

You know, there is a reason why you're on a message forum bitching about how professional fighters shouldn't cut for a fight and not in the UFC kicking ass and taking names.

Taddle tale.

I do agree with the dude in the video's stance on cardio before some weight training. Not because of the bro science shit he was spewing off though. I just can't give it 100% if I'm already tired from running.
