It’s no secret that Gabi Garcia cuts a lot of weight.
The undefeated, multiple-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Garcia (6-0), who has competed all the way up at 226 pounds, posted a body-transformation image on her Instagram with the caption “2020 goals.”
And while the first image is a pretty old one, Garcia appears to be aiming to slim down to look more like the second picture, in which she looks gaunt and drained.
And that makes one think: Just how much weight did she cut to end up looking like that?
In an infamous incident in 2017, Garcia missed weight by a whopping 28 pounds for her bout against 53-year-old Shinobu Kandori, which was scheduled for 209 pounds. Garcia claimed she almost died making the cut down, which is why she opted to stop shedding the pounds.
She last competed in December 2018, when she picked up a first-round key-lock submission over Barbara Nepomuceno at Rizin 18.
