Renan Barao misses weight... again (5.75 lbs)

[Rebel_LioN]

Former bantamweight champion Renan Barao (34-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC), who has struggled making the 135-pound limit in the past, was badly off the mark for his fight on the main card against UFC newcomer Andre Ewell (13-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Barao came in at 141.75 pounds. Ewell accepted the fight at the higher weight, and Barao will forfeit 30 percent of his purse, all of which will go to Ewell

Barao is so 2013.
Get with the program.

Barao has to be one of the biggest falls from grace in UFC history. Even worse than Silva.

At what point can you tell the fighters not even trying to make weight?

 

[Toco]

move up or just cut him

 

[Reach4theSky]

just cut him

 

[El Fernas]

Too many issues making weight, but dude doesnt look like he is exactly huge for the weight class, he and Aldo should move to different camps and continue their careers elsewhere, not necessarily fight each other but switch camps.

 

[Enigma87]

Disgusting. Hope he gets his ass beat

 

[CRobby22]

Real Logic - Cut him or never let him fight at 135 again.
UFC Logic - If he wins give him a title shot.

 

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

Good for the newbie. 30% of that veteran purse is huge

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

P4P # 1!!!

 

[JonesBones]

that is an absurd amount for a 135 fighter

 

[hot carl]

Cmon guys, before we jump to conclusions let’s wait for the inevitable investigation from the UFC’s friends at whichever regulatory body to conclude and we will all see that he didn’t intentionally miss weight, he will end up with half his opponent’s purse, an apology, and a gift certificate big rigg steakhouse.

Dillashaw took not only his soul, but his metabolism as well

Jesus Christ, fight at 145 and fix your shoddy skill set Barao

Fanboy logic- there should be a 140 pound weight class

 

[DS66]

To be fair, that godawful tattoo on his chest adds about 6 pounds.

Back to the wall?

Might as well miss weight by a retarded margin and forfeit a purse percentage.
