Samantha Diaz wasn’t about to let her hair get in the way of making weight for her professional debut as an MMA fighter, so she chopped it off.
The 23-year-old fighter missed her weigh-in for Invicta FC 20 by just two ounces, hitting the scales at 116.2 pounds. Her quick solution? Cut off her hair. After chopping her locks, Diaz stepped back on the scales for an end result of 115.9 pounds.

The stunt worked, and goes to show just how dedicated this fighter is to the sport. Diaz loved her hair, but was willing to make the sacrifice so she could get in the ring.
Although, she did mention she’d probably end up crying about it later.
