3 fighters missed weight because Brazilian hotel had no hot water

[Rebel_LioN]

2 fighters are in [hot water] because the hotel in Belem, Brazil ran out of said [hot water] and caused Pedro Munoz (5 lbs) and Michel Prazeres (4 lbs) to both miss weight.

Pedro Muhnoz set to face John Dodson has been scratched off the card while Prazeres is allowed to continue at the cost of 20% of his purse to his opponent (20% more if he wins).

The 3rd fighter Eryk Anders, was given an extra hour to shed the lbs and made weight on the 2nd attempt.

Weight cutting is so dumb.

Straight outta

 

[Ol'Ironhead]

Lol no hot water in the hotels that apparent professional athletes are staying in


Brazil gonna Brazil

Hopefully they never have a fight in Cameroon for Francis. They don’t have water period! LOL

If you need to rely on shit like that to make weight, you are cutting too much fucking weight. Be professional and own your own unprofessionalism.

Fucking hell.

I also heard some were late arriving to the venue because the transportation department ran out of carrots.

Fucking hell.

This is a reason pride will always be seen as the golden age of mma. Fighters like sakuraba who did not give a fuck about a weight difference, wanderlei fighting mark hunt. It’s become quite sad

I have such a love hate for mma. Events like UFC 217 make me feel like it’s the greatest sport in the world, while shit like this makes me think this sport is a joke

 

[Jackonfire]

So 21 fighters did make weight but these 3 are blaming the hotel? They should be embarrassed.

 

[magicmarker]

Colby's gonna have fun with this one.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Why does UFC keep insisting on having events in these shitholes?! Fighters always get sick in Brazil or get robbed or what have you.

Yea they should go to more super cities like Oklahoma

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Bullshit.

Belem is just hot as hell it´s near the equator line, you could turn on the cold water and the water will still come out hot as fuck specially now during summer.

 

[kabanos]

Or maybe they had a free of charge mini-bar?

 

[mime]

damn that sucks for those fighters, good thing all the other fighters who made weight were in a different hotel i assume

Wanderlei Silva is my favourite mixed martial artist of all time.

PRIDE >>>>> UFC.
