[rustledjimjams]

edit. just read the weight thing.. man ufc and athletic commisions are #1 bullshit. retarded as hell if you ask me.

 

[revoltub]

2018 whitebelt.....lol.


You need to make championship weight to fight for the belt. He has to be 155LBS ya goof.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

i hadn't seen that news yet. but instead of asking for a source, i will just suggest it's because he weighed in over the championship weight limit (155.2)

 

[NRG]

Because you touch yourself at night

 

[JsinLegacy]

Because of .2 lbs .

Welcome to the UFC, where nothing makes sense and only PPV points matter.

I thought there was a 1lb allowance over the fight weight? Isn't 156 still a title fight? In this case we're talking 1/8 of a pound over??

Not for title fights.

Not if they bring out a towel

You mentioned boxing, yet you don't seem to know this is common in boxing where one guy makes weight and the other doesn't and loses eligibility. You had one right on the May-Mac undercard as well.

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

Got to protect the legitimacy of the belt. Cant just do anything now.

Have you never watched a championship fight! There’s no 1 lb allowance

 

[MMAProfessional]

I don't get why they don't just let him reweigh. I guess I don't care since Khabib will win anyways.

Go read the rules, Iaquinta essentially "missed weight" when he came in at 155.2. This isn't something new, stop being a noob.

 

[Sean Long]

Because:

Tony is skeered......Max is skeered.......Pettis is skeered......Felder is skeered.......Conor is skeered

 

[Throwin'Knuckles]

NY commission is a joke.. Al should have had 2 more hours to make weight after his new offer no?.. He could have easily made it. NYAC did their best to ruin this card. Fuck NY!

Whilst you are absolutely right, Al didn’t know he was weighing in for a title fight, and he also weighed in with shorts on. That’s at least .2 lb right there. They should weigh his shorts and knock that off his official weight.

Man who is that on your avatar, I've been wondering that too long.
