UFC vet Cody Stamann talks move to 145-pounds, says he was “half dead” competing at bantamweight

Interview with Cody Stamann 

Cody Stamann discusses his Muay Thai fight against Jake Peacock at MMT11 on Nov 7. Cody also spoke about how this opportunity came together, moving back home to Michigan from Las Vegas and competing at 145-pounds going forward in his career.

“The weight cut for me it killed the sport. I no longer enjoyed fighting. Every single time I had a fight coming up I had to lose 30-35 pounds. I walked around 170-pounds. I had to lose an insane amount of weight. By the time I step on the scale, I was half dead. If there was one thing I could change about what I did in MMA, that would be the number one thing.”
