[b00tysweat]

A lot of people in this thread crying because their guy, who they claim to like, didn't want to fight.

The guy who made weight didn't want to fight. LMAO this place

Hopefully Wonderbread gets rebooked soon. Just put him on the next card. It sucks that he went through camp for nothing.

 

[MMA Maine-iac]

I don't blame WB at all. People calling him a coward are a bunch of nobodies.

Nothing. He chose not to fight. Remember when Pereira missed weight and lost to a regional FW?

Thanks!
Now I'm an even bigger fan of Thompson.

Good decicion by WB. Its takes at least 1,5 hours to rehydrate 3 pounds, so yes there is significant advantage.

Wonderboy should have asked for 30%, plus make guy still hit 171. make him continue to cut even though he missed the official time. Then it's fair? I think dude might have said yes as he won't get paid otherwise. What's wrong with this approach

Dana should go full TUF 5 on Pereira:

60%. 20% for every extra pound

 

[IMPmmath]

Damn this was 2nd most fight I was looking forward to after Jan/Peirera

Hopefully they get them both back in there soon. With Michel at 185

 

[jsbx45]

He said it at this literal press conference.

He ain't gettin' it. Agree he shouldn't even bring it up if he's gonna duck wrasslers.

 

[don't ask]

WB was put in a shitty position and I'm glad he did what was best for him. No other party in this situation had his best interests at heart.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Womderman sticking up for himself.

Food for him.

How heavy can Pereira weigh in at in your opinion before Thompson is justified to turn the fight down? 175, 180 lbs? Pereira signed a contract for a welterweight fight and didn't deliver, it's his fault this isn't happening. Be a professional next time.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Those last 3-5 pounds of a cut can be torture and diminishes a fighter.

Wonderboy went through the torture like the professional he is.

The other guy didn't and therefore, Wonderboy pulled the rug out and made an example out of unprofessional weight cutters/weight bullies.

Dude just needs to go to 185.
