"I felt great. I mean, some of the biggest takeaways are the training camps and stuff and being able to feel better through the training camp. Then the weight cut - I probably still cut a similar amount of water and stuff like that. But I feel like 145lbs, sometimes, I would end up being a little bit malnourished going into the fight because you've only got like the 24 hours to rehydrate."
"I feel like that's stuff that's kind of showed its head in like the Billy Quarantillo fight and some of the fights where I was doing great for the first few minutes. Then lend of the first, beginning of the second, just seemed like my body kind of shut down on me. So at 155, I don't think we'll have that problem."
"I felt like moving up to a new weight class, I almost felt like I was starting at the bottom again. Then to get to like Matt Frevola, who I had seen and heard his name and watched him fight and stuff like that, I was like, oh, like I'm, you know, I'm not kind of starting at the bottom again."
Kyle Nelson transitioned back to lightweight after struggling at featherweight, particularly after a loss to Steve Garcia. He felt malnourished during weight cuts at 145lbs, impacting his performance. Nelson noted that he experienced issues in previous fights where he couldn't maintain his energy. Moving to 155lbs has alleviated these concerns, and he was relieved to find he wasn't treated as a newcomer in the division, feeling competitive against established fighters like Matt Frevola.
