Max is Probably Gonna Miss Weight

Max is talking a lot of his legacy. I just realized his legacy might be being the first UFC fighter dying from weight cutting.
 
I think he gets close, but not quite.

They wme and team Dana, foresaw this contingency anyway.

Khabib becomes new champ and tween him and Conor, new stars, plots are added.

Plus I think max started at low 180s, very tough cut in less than a week.

Not even a cut as he has to lose fat weight.

I can't even blame Max. It's stupid they're making him cut 30 lbs in 6 days for 155.

I'd rather a healthy Max weigh in at 165 and give us a better fight. Why make it short notice AND deplete him?​

I mean he’s got an extra 10 lbs to play with this time

But he's coming off an injury and he hasn't been training or sticking to his diet. He's not in prime shape.

Full camp Max vs Khabib would be fun. I just hope Max is in better shape than we think.
 
Khabib has a hard time making weight. Max wouldn't be so hard if he had a full camp, but he doesn't.

They should make a catchweight for this bout.
Fuck the stupid interim belt, the winner fights Conor and we'll have this mess sorted out.

No interim belt. The fight is for the LW belt outright. Conor getting stripped...

Go watch Dana's interview.

If someone misses weight I doubt they actually strip Conor and risk having no champion

If they both make it they'll strip Conor
 
I hope they both miss weight. So Dana just makes the fight for the Welterweight Belt instead.

Heard he was already under 170. If he can get to 158-160 by Friday morning he'll be good
 
When a fighter signs a contract to fight. He has 1 obligation that has to be met. Even above giving us a fun and exciting fight, with a show of heart unrivaled, and have the fans clapping for long periods out of respect for fighters giving they're all. The 1 thing they have to do is, make weight. How they do it is one of the biggest contributing factors in a fighters performance. Certain fighters can do it through mental fortitude as though its just a natural lead up to each fight. I only hope that Max has enough in the tank, to at least put on a good account of himself. Good luck Max!
 
If Max doesn't make weight then i see no reason why khabib would fight. A non title fight at this stage is meaningless for him.

Doubt that. Hard to judge from a screen but he always looks slim. Hes supposedly 171 lbs when he got the call, though. The reason I doubt it so much is because hes a featherweight active champion. I wouldnt doubt it if he was fighting at lightweight. But I guess his weight cut regime is longer than average.

I don’t like his chances with a full camp either. Khabib is manhandling bigger and stronger fighters than Max. I’m rooting for him though

Yeah I'd still favor Khabib over a full camp Max, but I hope he pulls it off regardless. That'd be among the most epic moments ever.

It'd also guarantee Conor comes back for a "champ-champ vs champ-champ" fight
 
No idea who George Lockhart is but is he a Nutritionist or a Dietician?
