When it comes to visually estimating the weight of muscular manlets Joe's mirrors and scales have given him decades of hard data. I will bow to Rogan's expertise here.

It has happened in other orgs, might be the first for the UFC tho, he might pull BEFORE the fight, so he gets to keep his belt, but if he officially misses weight, its going to be stripped at the scale.

There are no rules for this. If the UFC wanted to put the strap on TJ if he wins, they can do it, which would make sense.
Also makes sense for Cejudo to miss weight to get an advantage on TJ. Even if he wins, he isn't the champ anymore.

Do you have an example? I don't follow every org so i'm not saying it hasn't happened outside the UFC but I can't think of any time this situation has happened.

That's true, i'm just saying this isn't the same situation as Romero vs Rockhold since neither was the title holder.

It happened in WEC for Sonnen vs Filho. Sonnen didn't get the strap but Filho unofficially gave it to him.

And i think there might be other examples, pretty common in boxing.

True.
Happened in WEC though for Sonnen vs Filho 2, where Sonnen didn't get the strap since the fight was at catchweight, so you have a point. Filho did give the belt to Sonnen after IIRC.

UFC hoping Cejudo doesn't make weight so they can strip him of the title and wave bye bye to 25.

They stripped Filho but Sonnen didn't get the chance to officially win the belt.

Yeah, they could do it like the WEC did for Sonnen vs Filho 2 or it could be like Halsey vs Grove, hopefully they both make weight and we won't have to find out.

Dana would literally cream himself. That is a wet dream for him.

I was 165 at 15 years old and I was fairly skinny. I can't even think going down to 135 from there.

TJ wins a belt for a division thats being cut anyways and Henry gets the weight/health advantage plus a win over the snake for his move to 135. Brilliant.

Goof will have a meltdown if either of them miss weight.

If that happened Cejudo would vacate and TJ would still be eligible to win the vacant belt.Then the fight wouldn't be for the belt and TJ couldn't become a double-champ. A very underhanded yet effective tactic!
At least that is the way it has been done in boxing, also that is how Pettis vs Max for interim FW title went down.
Though by that logic Somnen should have become WEC champ by beating Paulo Fihlo...
