Craig White says taking cheesecake out of his diet was ‘only difference’ for safer weight cut

Craig White stepped up to the plate on two weeks’ notice to take on one of the world’s best welterweights, Neil Magny, at UFC Liverpool and revealed after the fact that he had cut over 46 pounds to secure his promotional debut.

After describing his cut to the welterweight limit in an exclusive interview with MMA Fighting, a lot of people suggested that “The Thundercat” should consider a move to middleweight.

Yet, ahead of his sophomore Octagon outing at UFC 228 against Diego Sanchez, White insists that an all-new strength-and-conditioning program has him lighter than ever.
