To be fair, he's saying that if Olivera doesn't even try or come close, he won't fight. If he misses by 1/2 a pound or a pound, I think he'll take the extra money from Olivera's check. He's talking about missing by three or four pounds, and using the "short notice" as an excuse.

So I’m Calling It Now. Case Law: Short Notice Fight, Oliveira Will Not Cut Weight All Week And Show Up 3-4 Pounds Over Weight And Use The Excuse Of A Short Notice Fight. If He Shows Up That Much Overweight We Are Not Competing

How much you wanna bet, one of these guys, will test positive for Covid this weekend?
 
Anyone saying Tony is scared of Charles is retarded. We arent talking about Rumble here ffs.

He'd take his show money and refuse to fight?

Bet the UFC executives would love that...


Good luck getting a title shot ever again with that attitude

Tony marches to his own drummer i respect that
 
Wasn't Tony talking about fighting anyone anywhere and possibly moving up a weight class just a few weeks ago?
So much for that then.
 
UFC doesn't like Tony and I predict a shocking cut if he loses or refuses to fight Oliviera
 
Won't Tony get a sizeable chunk of Oliveiras purse if he doesn't make weight?

And its worth mentioning that fighters that miss weight have a winning record in the UFC. Its a strategy.

Take the loss in the paycheck for an advantage in the cage, and if you win the vast majority won't remember or care you missed weight.

Tony knows his relevancy is on the line with this fight. Its a smart move to say publicly he won't accept the fight if Oliveria does not make weight, to take that strategy off the table.

Citation needed? I could be wrong but it seems to me like, at least in the past year or so, fighters that miss weight lose more often than not

If you missed weight you either had some kind of health issue that caused a bad weight cut or you didn't work hard enough. Neither bodes well for your performance imo

How the fuck is tony in the wrong for expecting the other fighter to make weight?

He isn't but it is a strange thing to bring up when Charles has only ever had problems making weight at 145.
 
You'd think Brazilians being from a poorer country would be more worried about the money lost from not making weight but it seems just the opposite.
 
Ever since Oliveira returned to LW in April 2017, the man has not missed weight. He missed weight trying to make 145. Tony should not worry about Oliveira missing weight for Saturday's fight.

They've fucked him over plenty after doing everything right, so how would this matter any different?

This fight was already iffy with covid. It doesn’t need Ferguson contributing to it not happening.

Ferguson should try not to trip over any camera cables
