That was made a non-title fight.Are you fucking serious? You think the champion of the 155 pound weightclass would be allowed to keep his title if he didn't weigh 155 pounds? Jesus christ
Go google Paulo Filho Vs Chael Sonnen for the most famous example of this. Happened to the cage warriors MW champ last week too
yeah besides the fucking unified rules that state if the champion misses weight he gets stripped of his title ... good try though
It says no such thing.
It says "In non-championship fights there shall be a one pound allowance. In championship fights the participants must weigh no more that permitted for the relevant weight division".
However it gives no indication as to what the punishment is for being overweight. All we've seen till now was that WEC made it a non-title fight, which Filho lost and subsequently gave up the belt.
