[PurpleStorm]

Damn. Chandler missed by 5 pounds, Mariscol by 3.5? That's not cool. Rooting for Santos & Jackson.

 

[Danespina]

Chelsea Chandler again. And this time by even more weight.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Chandler arrives with fatweight advantage. Disgraceful. Santos has been out for a year. Hope she whups Chandler and gets a chunk of moolah.

See ya'll in the PbP with MC Funkmaster @Jackonfire. Enjoy the fights!

 

[Hank Grill]

If Santos starts to loose against the titan Chandler she can just claim Chandler is clearly a man trying to reach the men's 145lb belt.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Chandler is a joke. 5 pounds? Did she even try? Very hard to pick Yana knowing that. And the fact Yana is on a 3 fight skid. She’s in a bad spot. It would suck to lose to Chandler, and get cut when she missed by such an egregious amount of weight.

Boo Chandler.

Anybody know if Chelsea's mom will be attending the event tomorrow?

 

[Danespina]

Tough break for Danny Barlow though. Over by 0.25 pounds? I feel like many regions would round down at that point.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Wonder what the lovely Damson Jackson will weigh in at with all that extra hair, gotta be a couple of Ibs in that

Ooph...

That only really adds to the idea this isn't a "UFC level card" or whatever...

This is pretty unprofessional from these athletes.

Quebec does that, or used to do that. GSP was 170.something. They rounded down to 170 when GSP fought Diaz in Montreal.

I believe GSP weighing over 170 was just speculation. People were suspicious, rightfully, after the Quebec commision informed Diaz that they don't take decimals into account. But apparently that had been a practice for several years over there. Who knows.

Even so, I understand 0.9 being considered over, and I even understand being half a pound over. But how far are we going to take that? 0.25? 0.10? 0.00001? Eventually it's like, alright dude, this scale probably isn't even that spot on accurate anyway.

 

[DragRacer]

He’s got the same amount of hair, they just rearranged it on his head

Wonder what the lovely Damson Jackson will weigh in at with all that extra hair, gotta be a couple of Ibs in that

 

[Doughie99]

5 frigging pounds for Chandler?????

She should be thankful if that fight even goes ahead for a 5lb miss.

 

[TITS]

Chelsea Chandler can sit on my lap and watch the fights with me after her fight gets cancelled. I'm not worried about 141 lbs of blubber. I'll just pretend she's Cat Zingano.

Nah. GSP admitted he came in over the limit. And its seems that was a one time only commission rule change that didn't count the extra weight. Kind of like when Australia shortened the hydration time for fighters when Islam fought Volk.

Weight Gate: St. Pierre Thinks He Was 170.4 Pounds

Georges St. Pierre reveals that he believes he tipped the scales at 170.4 pounds for his 170-pound world title fight against Nick Diaz in the UFC 158 main event that took place March 16, 2013, at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

www.mmamania.com

Georges St. Pierre, technically by his own admission, did not make weight for his UFC 158 title fight against Nick Diaz at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which took place on March 16, 2013. However, "Rush" was well within the seemingly last-minute, undocumented rules of the Quebec Athletic Commission.

It's not that bad, she totally made Caranoweight (Gina weighed in at 141 several times).
