[Dorkman]

Yep some unprofessional shit coming in that far above weight. Thompson already had Father Time working against him, now his opponent coming in heavy to top it off. Would suck to lose this fight

 

[LiQuiD42]

Damn. That sucks.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Dang I saw Pereira and about collapsed thinking it was the bigger one.

 

[Phisher]

This dude should just move up.

MW is a division full of limited fighters.

Without his gas tank being compromised, he could win a bunch of fights based on his speed alone.

 

[Tapatio]

Pereira has an always will be a weight bully. He should be a 185er.

 

[GGpX]

Yeah, that sucks man.

Pereira should be at Middleweight anyway. It's insane that he kept making 170 over and over.

 

[Poatan Power]

If you're 4 lbs over you gave up and are going all in on negotiations. He also knew long before today that he wouldn't be close to making weight. Should have told Thompson sooner so he could meet him at 175 and not kill himself cutting to 170.

What a tool bag.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Gotta feel for wonderman

 

[nonoob]

Dirty as hell move, major advantage taken. Scumbag action.

 

[gentel]

Hopefully Wonderboy gets extra $$$ for fighting at a weight disadvantage (from the UFC, in addition to the usual fraction of the opponent's purse)

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Hope Thompson koes him badly

 

[Bubba32]

you got no choice at this point. You just wanna negotiate as much of his purse as a penalty as you can.

 

[rjmbrd]

If you're 4 lbs over you gave up and are going all in on negotiations.

Just a note that he's 3lbs over, since he's not making championship weight.

Not that it isn't egregious, its unprofessional and a form of cheating.

The UFC needs to institute much heavier penalties to curb this BS.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Pereira gunna gas if he doesn’t get him out of there …. Too many red flags on this fight to be confident

 

[Ladder Master]

 

[Substance Abuse]

Pereira is clearly planning to grapple fuck Wonderman with that extra weight.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Wonderboy has had some shit luck, Till missed weight bad too and also Wonderboy got robbed in that fight.

 

[Sir Punchalot]

Weight bullies can go fuck themselves.

 

[usernamee]

C'mon Pereira, you finally get your big name fight and you mess it up..

Hope Wonderboy accepts though.. PPV really doesn't need to take any hits
