Wittman's hypothesis is one of the most striking in the episode. He's been researching boxing deaths for years and found a pattern almost nobody talks about: nearly every death in the last 10–15 years happens after the 9th round, often in fighters who are winning and not taking much damage. They just seem to take a knee and not get up. [1] — Trevor Wittman "Almost every boxing death in the last 10–15 years happens after round 9, often to fighters who are winning and not taking much damage. Witt…" 1:19:05 Wittman consulted a doctor he calls Dr. D, who confirmed that dehydrating the brain creates structural vulnerability — like cracked lips — that could explain why these fighters, who've spent weeks systematically draining their bodies to make weight and then rehydrating, suddenly fail late in long fights when their dehydrated brains face cumulative trauma. He also references not giving Tony Ferguson water for a 5-round fight as a personal failing he learned from. Gaethje casually mentions he never drinks water during training — not even during strength and conditioning. He arrives hydrated, works, and drinks after.
