MMA fighter Leandro "Feijao" Souza (5-5), a member of Nova Uniao and Delfim Cacadores, died on Thursday while cutting weight for Friday's Shooto Brazil 43 card in Rio de Janeiro. The 26-year-old fighter, who was slated to fight Gabriel Brasil (1-1) in flyweight action, was cutting the final two pounds for the official weigh-ins when he passed out, and his death was confirmed moments later. "We are sad to report the death of Leandro Caetano de Souza," Shooto president Andre Pederneiras wrote on his Facebook page. "The athlete has passed away in Botafogo’s UPA. We don’t know the reasons why yet. We would like to express our condolences to all friends and family." MMAFighting.com confirmed the news with Shooto officials, but there is still no information on the cause of the death. "We don’t have much information yet," Feijao’s teammate Andre Santos told MMAFighting.com, "but we do know that is related to his weight cut. He’s my student but he also trains at Nova Uniao for about a year. I wasn’t with him during this process because I have a fight scheduled in Russia, so he spent the night at Nova Uniao’s gym. His sister called me saying that he had passed out so I went to the hospital, but he was already dead when I got there."

Not sure how much it helps but I take a few aspirin before I cut weight. We cut 10 or more lbs, and since this is water your blood then gets thicker, which can be a problem. so my theory is aspirin will help counter this, again just my theory...

I was taking my bloodwork 2 weeks before worlds for my Navy Diving Course
Results came back a week ago,
Doc asked how I felt because my results showed I was in kidney failure.
I dropped 38lbs from Mar to Jul, gained 25lb and list that leading to Worlds to make 119.4lbs
This was an eye opener. No more dieting to that extreme. Definitely recognize your limits and stay within them
132lbs [image]http://imagecdn.bodybuilding.com/img/user_images/growable/2012/01/02/143383/progresspic/yxWlJYPXOJBiiGgkoLgwbIiVbwwfRBOcSBQY-610xh.jpg[/image]
