Calling it now, Khabib wont make weight

[NikkiNeversleep]

He's already on weight though...

 

[Frankie Baby!]

No, it was because Khabib missed weight. The commentators brought it up and made a point about it.

Proof?

Will bump when he does.

Proof?

Uh, the fight itself? It's on Fight Pass, go watch it.

Look, even if he did, it doesn't matter anymore. He made weight easily last time, and I'm sure he'll do it easily this time as well.

In April of 2016... Funnily enough, the second time he was booked to fight Ferguson when Tony pulled out the first time (his replacement opponent was a guy making his UFC debut.) He missed weight by five or more pounds, so they changed the fight to a catchweight of 160 pounds instead.

You are wrong.

The Khabib vs Horcher fight was booked at a catchweight of 160 lbs from the start because Horcher accepted on 10 days notice and could not make 156 in that time frame.

Go back and watch the fight. The commentators specifically mentioned that Khabib missed weight and so the bout was changed to a catchweight of 160.

They bring fly out Ortega just in case. Probably only a 10 lb cut for him. He should've already started.

Lol Max vs Ortega for the 155 title on 6 & 1 day(s) notice would be hilarious

this. might be the wake up needed for weak as piss cards

Then they were wrong or you misunderstood them. My money is on the latter.

Darrell Horcher was okay with stepping in on nine day's notice to fight one of the very best lightweights in the world, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

There was one potential problem, though: He weight 181 pounds when he get the call late last week to meet Nurmagomedov on Saturday night at UFC on FOX 19 in Tampa.

So all parties involved were willing to grant the Pennsylvania-based fighter a concession: The bout will be contested at a catchweight of 160 pounds, Horcher revealed on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.

"That last five pounds is a big difference," Horcher said. "Losing those last five pounds is a stress. When they came to me, it was presented to me at 160."
