No, it's no family emergency bullshit. The pressure is getting to him and he froze. Basically delayed his weight cutting process and missed weight. He's been showing signs through out the process. He said WB didn't think he was worthy and wanted to show him off. Then proceeded to stage videos of him beating up smaller guys while bragging about being big. These are signs of someone who lacks confidence. Even at the face-off before the weigh-in, he looked like a nervous wreck.
Under normal circumstances, I'm sure he could have handled the weight cut. But now headlining in his own hometown against a legit opponent. Too much expectation, esp after bragging about how good he is. Just couldn't cash that check. This is similar to Nick Diaz jumping out the back gate running away from the big $$ GSP fight after complaining about not being paid enough. It's like getting a date with a chick so hot that you don't think you deserve and not wanting to go through with it.
I bet we will this again from Till.
