News BREAKING: Khamzat Chimaev misses weight 178.5 lbs; Replacement possible; Nate made weight

[SovereignPhantom]

Believed his own hype. Pulled out against Leon twice while claiming Leon doesn't want to see him. Gets paired with the easiest matchup at 170 and acts hard all week while not dieting properly. Dude is a joker.

 

[tbulls123]

khamzat too busy trying to be tuff guy and fight everybody.

Costa vs Khamzat at Franklinweight while Nate smokes a blunt in the audience.

Nate looked pudgy in his photoshoot too...

I hope they push him to the last second before agreeing to a catch weight, drained as fuck walking into that cage.

UFC will do whatever they have to to get this in the cage - catchweight with Diaz walking away with most of Chimaev's purse and an extra bung from the the UFC.

 

[neomage2021]

How glorious would it be for this to be true...and for Nate to demand Khamzat's entire purse, plus a hefty raise on his own earnings, or else he is not agreeing to a catchweight?

oh, you want to fuck ME on the way out?

UFC will say now, and then he would just be stuck in his contract longer.

Nate vs Tony is the only fight that actually makes sense.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Wow

 

[Question]

Nate vs Tony please.

This, Diaz/Tony should've been the fight here in the first place.
If Khamzat misses and still wants to fight put him up against Holland who already weighed in at 180 for a catchweight bout.

 

[SharpasaRazor]

Per Ariel - Chimaev is 9-10 pounds off!!!

Fuckkkkkk

 

[chimpoehurricane]

Gee a 185er fighting a 155er at 170 and the 185er is in danger of missing weight, who would have thought?

Pretty much.

Let's go Nate. Watch Nate still strangle his ass.

 

[Deleted member 585708]

LULZ!

What's the back up plan? Nate vs Tony?

 

[chimpoehurricane]

He'll likely make it. But even if he doesn't... it's not like this is a title fight. Its a somewhat meaningless fight for entertainment purposes. The weight really doesn't matter too much, I'm sure they'd still fight at a catch-weight.

It's a bad look and such a high profile fight.

 

[93confirmed]

Jesus fucking Christ. This week has been a massive shitshow. Just make it a catchweight and get this fight over and done with. Diaz doesn't care either way.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Nate can win this fucking fight, I just wish he was taking it seriously.

My thoughts right here. It seems Nate is coming to get his papers and his cheque and go on to box Youtubers. I hope I'm wrong but when you look at the threads about his physique compared to the Leon fight, his comments, etc. it seems he's not in it to win it.

But Nate can be a weird dude sometimes. If he really sets his mind to get a W and stick it to the UFC, his chances may have increased with this weight issue now. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

No fucking way it gets canceled. Fucking tool trying to fight everyone and doesn’t check his weight. Some fans traveled, paid $400+ tickets to watch Diaz vs Chimaev…I can guarantee you the rest was meaningless to them.

 

[surgeyou1]

10lbs off lmao. He should be cut for that bullshit.

 

[Morning Star]

Tony vs Nate please if this happens. What a bum if he misses weight.

 

[FreedomCricket]

UFC will say now, and then he would just be stuck in his contract longer.

Might have some leverage if he indeed weighs in on time and at weight. He filled he contract to show up and fight at 170.

My bet is that even if Khamzat misses weight by a few lbs, they fight anyway. It means nothing in this fight. It's Nates going away party, not a title fight.

The Costa match up at 185 might be happening though if Khamzat misses weight.

 

[chimpoehurricane]

He's gonna have to borrow a towel from DC

Leave him alone. His massive innie is turned into a smaller massive innie.
