News Stephen Thompson vs Michel Pereira *FIGHT OFF* after Pereira weight miss - Thompson issues statement

[JoeRowe]

40% would seem fair. Dude is going to gas regardless. He loses every 3rd round, elevation probably makes him gas in the 2nd

 

[b00tysweat]

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

a fighter pulls something unprofessional and the UFC should financially cover it?

Fuck that. Give WB all of Pereiras show money.

Michel needs to cut 44 pounds to make 170

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Saw "Pereira misses weight" and was confused because Poatan is not fighting this weekend and his next fight is at 205 and I don't see how he's missing weight there.

But Michel Pereira missing weight at 170 makes a lot more sense

 

[BjPenn2017]

Funny too considering perieira prob makes like 20/20 30% of his purse would be jack shit

Poatan is fighting this weekend

Sucks. For Wonderboy at this point in his career, it's not about the money or how big the cut from Pereira's purse is going to be. It's getting a fair fight and being in the best possible position to get the best fights and possibly make one last run at the belt. Really sucks, it's like Wonderboy has to fight anyway. If he doesn't fight, it could be a month or two before something else is finally lined up and you know Wonderboy really wants this fight.

[Conan the K-9]

This sucks. Probably the best fight on the card.
It is not fair to Wonderboy, but I still hope this fight will happen.

You're still confused, Tim.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Time to move up like your brother Alex did.

 

[Sir Punchalot]

Poatan is not fighting this weekend

 

[Doughie99]

I think they'll settle on 30%. That's my feeling.

 

[TheAlliance]

I need this fight pls wondwrbread acdept it

 

[CasualBot]

175lb division is still calling

 

[Siver!]

Acrobatics-ready Capoeira star Michel Pereira hanging backstage prior to weigh in

 

[Lost_Cause]

Perfect time for MVP to step in?





I know. Just wishful thinking.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Definitely need a fair rehydration Clause. Stephen has sucked down to 170 for michel to stroll In that much over.
Come on wonderboy. Tell them you want a title shot put in writing with a win.
Leon vs wonderboy would be an interesting fight

 

[egk]

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.

Exactly! 4 pounds isn't that much but it's the fact Thompson had to kill himself to suck out that water weight. If Periera had been honest about it, that wouldnt have been necessary.

 

[Platinum Perry Mason]

He should fight him but Michel can weigh no more than 176 before the walkout.
That will teachem.
