News Bryan Battle misses Middleweight limit by FOUR Pounds at UFC 319 weigh-ins / UPDATE: Fight is OFF

[StewDogg11]

LOL Wasn't there just a thread asking why he's on the early prelims?

This is why.

Totally unprofessional.

The only other time that I can think of someone moving up and still missing weight was Rumble, and he got cut for it.

He got destroyed by Vitor Belfort though. Will be interested to see what they do if Battle wins.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut if he doesn't get a finish tomorrow night. He's unreliable to make weight in not only 1 weight class but 2. What do you do with a guy like this outside of keeping him on Apex cards or cutting him?

 

[StewDogg11]

What a waste though. He’s clearly top 15 material.

 

[whocares]

Battle is at the buffet table all week, has missed weight three times, former and aspiring 2 time fat, slapped his child for eating too loudly, doesn't believe in tipping, farts in the elevator, doesn't shower before bathing in public hot springs, I mean this guy is a real jerk

 

[Ares Black]

Fight is cancelled

 

[Koala]

The guy got his win bonus last time, while winning by cage wrestling after weighing 5 lbs above the limit
They should do: miss weight by 3+ pounds => no win bonus

 

[Tweak896]

Damn I think Battle is the only guy to miss weight in 2 weight classes back to back. Rumble actually made WW before his MW miss. Battle isn't even a huge guy, no way he can fight LHW.

 

[vinnie245]

Battle might of had a chance is the fight went ahead and he got a flashy finish but now the fights off hes as good as gone, ill legitimately be surprised if he doesnt get the axe.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Are we gonna see a 12-2 fighter on a 5 fight unbeaten streak get cut?

(He had an eye poke NC )

 

[The_Renaissance]

Think that's it for Battle.

 

[UWPguy]

Reminds of Anthony Johnson. Finally moves to Middleweight and misses weight.

To Rumble's credit, he was jacked AF even at 170 and even moreso at 185/205.

Battle looks soft at 185.

 

[Siver!]

He didn't even try... He still has hair and eye lashes. And could have lanced that huge pimple on the side of his head.

Still got them heavy load tattoos on, too, could've scrubbed them off!

 

[Trabaho]

Fight is canceled

 

[Uber_Noober]

His next fight will be at Rumble weight

 

[GrantB13]

Wait, he's now missing weight at MW?

Johnny Hendricks special

 

[Khaosan]

Super disappointing, I actually like Battle.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

FUCK he's on my parlay as I thought the lessened weight cut would make it easy for him to make 185.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Fight is off guys, just read about it, its not happening. What a disaster, I feel bad for his opponent, all that camp and effort for nothing.

If it was 1 time then ok, but this is become a habit with this guy now

 

[Luthien]

What a disaster

Trumpy is meeting Pouty right now

 

[Howard Moon]

He is 2-0 when he missed weight by 4-5 pounds so far. Going for that third win, I see.

This is such a pathetic response. The fine is a punishment for being an unprofessional clown, it isn't a get-out-of-jail free card.
Also, nobody took your money, YOU gave it up.

You are still a goof that couldn't live up to the terms of the contract you signed, and damn right you are gonna hear about it some more.
