So Lee And Dos Anjos are just gonna come in at 165

[Shishio]

this is so utterly pointless.....if its at welterweight theyre both just gonna come in small and who cares....if its at lightweight theyre both gonna get fined 20% of thier purse for missing weight and the UFC isnt gonna give a shit about paying both less......DW has repeatedly said he aint implementing any new divisions, fuck if anything flyweight is gonna get cut soon......this shit must also be really annoying to the heavyweights who cant make 205 but have to fight behemoths cutting to 265.....I fail to see what their goal is exactly.

 

[Slatersan]

What? Where is this information coming from?

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Facepalm.

Both guys will be over 180 by fight time. Hell Lee might be over 190.

 

[Drain Bamage]

Lee is a moron

 

[GiSP]

If they fight at a CW I don’t care. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again.

It’s not like an inaugural title fight in a made up bullshit division.

Who gives a fuck what weight they fight at?

 

[El Fernas]

20-30% goes to the other guy, it can be returned to each other, i guess.

Edit: No purse fine by weigh-in from 156 to 171 for a WW fight.

 

[Dave Poodle]

I've seen Lee going on about this but haven't seen RDA agreeing to it. Have there been any developments? Not that this will achieve anything.

Source?

Its just the stupidest thing ever. Not a single fan asked for it, and it doesnt make sense since all fighters are usually around 15-25 pounds above the limit come fight night. Its embarassing to see, basically two fighters who couldnt make it at 155 where there are similar sizes and are now scared of fighting guys bigfer than them at 170. Its just retarded, cant believe we are hearing more about this

165 is not going to happen while Dana is around.. He has been saying it for as long as people have been asking him.

First 165 lb division fight.

This is an undercover lobbying opereration

LOL

They come in at 165 (165.5 at most) and put on a performance of a life time. Kelvin/Israel what?

“That’s the kind of action you’ll see at 165. Make it happen Dana!” - Lee/RDA

“Yeah, fuck no.” - Dana

You don't lost any of you're purse for coming in underweight.

The weight class is 156lbs to 171lbs for non title I believe.

 

[Rondas Pillow]

I don't see how this makes the UFC do anything. They either make a 165 division or not. They won't give a crap about some gentlemen's agreement to do 165.

Basically how I feel.

Welterweight starts at 156lbs, you don't lose any money for weighing in 5lbs under the maximum limit....

 

[Luis Rivera]

This is just Lee getting desperate and trying to become a champion somewhere, there is no reason for RDA to even think about making 165 for this fight just because Lee wants to

 

[drbolony]

Sherdog getting real lazy, you guys are making Reddit seem like a viable option. Real dip in poster quality.

How about source TS?

My bad, i went by the TS comment about the 20% purse fine but true, fighting at WW they can weigh-in at 156 and its all good, just commenting on that part of TS post.

Same reason we don't have women fighting in the UFC. Thank god.
