UFC 142

[Ludo]

I have to believe he tried. I mean, Rumble may not be the smartest guy in the world, but if the options are a) make weight, or b) start a shitstorm that might cause me to lose my job and that will haunt me for the rest of my career, I believe even he would understand the seriousness of at least attempting option A.

I honestly find it hard to believe he tried when he made 170 twice earlier this year alone. All of a sudden he can barely get within 30lbs of that?

[SPX]

My guess is that he miscalculated how difficult it would be PRECISELY because he's made 170 and he started his cut too late.

Seems Dave Meltzer is reporting that AJ won't be weighed a few hours before the fight, he's being weighed immediately prior to his fight and if he's over 205lbs the fight is being waived from the card.

Junkie has the best picture though.



Arianny has that "dude, your totally fucked" look on her face.

LOL@allthatshit.

I still want to see the fight.

Who thinks Rumble is going to maintain his cut and who thinks he's going to intentionally miss weight?

Who thinks Rumble is going to maintain his cut and who thinks he's going to intentionally miss weight?

Honestly his best shot to win now is to just say fuck it and rehydrate like normal. He's fucked either way, but if he's going to be cut he might as well go out with a possible win over Vitor Belfort.

Mark Hardy was right.



Nigga you need to update your goddamn sig!

i think he miscalculated in that he used to be able to cut a huge amount of weight b4 bc those were water weight. but this training camp, it seem like he gained alot of muscle mass and those are much harder to lose. if its true that they require him to weight in right b4 the fight, then i think Belfort will not be at that much of a disadvantage, maybe even better for him.

I have to believe he tried.

You can't honestly believe that do you?

LOL@ this story

Is Anthony Johnson too small for middleweight?

I stand corrected ,the negro almost died it sounds like.

According to Johnson’s manager Glenn Robinson of Authentic Sports Management, who spoke to MMAWeekly.com on Friday, ‘Rumble’ woke up on Friday morning weighing 191.5lbs, only 5.5lbs away from the 186lb weight limit for middleweight.

With three hours to go until weigh-ins, Johnson was only a pound and a half away from making weight when his body started feeling off.
Robinson says that Johnson started feeling sick and unstable, and so a local doctor came in to check him out to see what exactly was going on.
The doctor gave Johnson fluids to see if it would improve his condition, and within a couple of hours, the Blackzilian fighter started to come back to life. Unfortunately, at this point it was too late to cut the weight back down to 186lbs.
“It was medical reasons, it wasn’t for lack of effort,” Robinson said. “The UFC was extremely supportive and said health comes first.”

Steve Cofield is a ruhtard.

Nigga you need to update your goddamn sig!

Fine, there. . .

[Ludo]

So basically he dehydrated himself to the point that he needed almost 1.5 gallons to correct what was going on. It's time to fight at 205, Anthony.

[Ludo]

Fine, there. . .

Did I ever tell you that's My favorite movie?

[SPX]

I do remember you saying that, yes. I'm quite fond of it as well, though it would only be half the movie that it is without Kilmer as Doc Holliday.
