Nate was considered but he's too big right now. If they have to push the fight to 210 then do it don't try and force a fight for tomorrow. Johnson is high risk low reward unless promised McGregor if won.
Motherfucker was 6 pounds from weight today. Unacceptable shut the fuck up and move to welterweight. Bet he would get clowned by some of those big niggas up there.
fuck man part of me feals like khabib didn't want to fight tony. His team went completly rogue when they brought him to the hospital. they didn't even call dana. Dana said that if they did the ufc might have been able to save the fight.
Yeah he got cold feet. Dude is goofy as all hell. I watched an interview with him and Ariel like two days ago and he seems delusional or maybe it's a real bad language barrier or both.
those interviews are from thursday. I noticed he looked bad at the faceoff. Luke Thomas said he was having a noticeable problem with his cut. He said Khabib was having trouble forming sentences. Still though. IDK why they didn't call dana though.
Cause it's his first fuck up with weight I don't think Dana is going to force him to move up. Don't know what the move is cause Tony could fight anytime but will they risk trying to pair him with Khabib again? Maybe they'll try to do Johnson/Tony II but Tony said he didn't take the fight cause it wasn't for the title and they were trying to hoe him on his pay
Your body isn't supposed to cut weight like that. Eventually your body will shut down. There needs to be a new worldwide rule on what limits you are allowed to cut. Sadly I don't think this trend will end until we get our first death in the UFC because that will make big headlines.
Or these fighters could be responsible adults and fight at a weight where their body is optimized. This issue with Weight cutting is as much on the fighter as it is the ufc.
Forgot about that. It is the fighters fault but if the organization allows it then it's their responsibility if someone got seriously hurt. I think we're very close to the first death in the UFC because of negligence.
Ithere probably arent enough weight classes but thats part of what makes the ufc exciting. All these guys going after so few belts.
the first thing i need to do is stop giving show/win money. Just give a base salary . Wont solve anyting but it would probably help talk someone with an advantage at a lower weight class move up.
I've seen two fighters within the last week go on their social media and say they need more money and that they're broke. It's unacceptable to be in the biggest MMA organization in the world and making chump change. Especially if you're pretty known. They have gotten better at paying their fighters as of recent but if you're not a superstar don't expect to make bank. Mighty Mouse has cleared his division and doesn't make shit. Granted he doesn't put butts in the seats but the UFC should promote their fighters better.

Khabib missed weight against trejuillo though.
