I'm not being defensive. I've called fighters unprofessional for not making weight plenty of times. It is idiotic, though, to call someone unprofessional when he actually makes weight.
He has two more hours. No one is bending any rules. He will make weight.
I've wrestled and coached wrestlers for the past 25 years. I know a thing or two about making weight. Until I started coming around Sherdog I've never, in my life, heard of someone being badmouthed because he uses his full time allowance to make the cut. I've seen guys who use the extra time every single weigh-in of their lives (some guys use it as a planned tactic to ensure that they don't overshoot and cut too much or make weight too early and stay dehydrated for too long while waiting around for weigh-ins).
A professional makes weight. Period. But he doesn't have to do it on your time schedule. He just has to do it within the time allowance provided.

You should never start a sentence with the word "and." Move along, junior.

Of course he is, even the example he used has already been stated in this thread before his post. Acts like he knows it all but then blames Nate for being .6 over like that's not his trainer's responsibility to know that.
Nate probably should have known it as well but he hires trainers, managers and attorneys to handle things he may not understand for a reason.

In Gracie's defense, he doesn't have a lot of experience with UFC title fights :icon_lol:
