Kevin Lee Misses Weight; Main Event vs. Barboza Still On

[Anomonis]

That's two entries in Kevin Lee's big book of excuses so far, not bad for only having been relevant for a year.
1. "I had staph"
2. "I ran out of time for the cut"

 

[Poirierfan]

That's good for his ass, I can't stand his gimic anyway.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Now all we need is for Darren Till to miss weight. "I'm a Lightweight fighting at Welterweight! I'm too big for these guys!" Weighs in at 182

No please.

I know hes a big LW but he sure is slammed over one pound. Non-title LW fights have a 156lb limit....

That one pound cost him a shit ton of the purse that he has remaining after paying off his manager/coach/taxes

It’s 1lb and Barbosa accepts. Glad fight still on. This is not a huge miss or advantage. Barbosa gets 20% and likely some goodwill from fans and UFC.

Lee will need to prove he can make weight before getting title shots.

 

[Bloodworth]

And if he gets koed its going to be even worse for his career.

People take this missing weight seriously.
