Was explaining to my kids/friends that I'd guess Izzy was 195-200 but that Pereira was every bit of 205, IMO. Maybe 208, even. 23 pounds in 24 hours.
He was big in there.
Also, they learned here because they thought they were 185. I said yesterday, yes. Tonight, fuck no!!!

220 you think? 35 overnight? I'm familiar with what many did in years past and I'd guess 198 Izzy/210 Pereira, maybe. Something like that. 210 is still 25 pounds from 185.
220 seems a stretch but I admit I don't know.

Suppose the supposed plan to have Khamzat fight Colby goes nowhere.
Maybe Khamzat will admit he does not want to even try to make 170.0 lbs again and pursue the MW title?

Bellator has an interesting prospect:

Wow. He's clearly a big guy. Like I say, I know Franklin and Silva were in the 206/208 range in the cage after 185 weigh-in the day before. EZ. 210ish.
A lot of folks don't realize how big these guys are. 185=230 walking, 205 = sometimes 250 walking guys. Rampage and Griffin as two examples were closer to 250 when not near a fight than they were to 205.

You'd have been counting your winnings there early in the 5th thinking he was up 3-1, too. All he had to do was see the end of the round. Ugh.Imagine betting on Izzy!
