Media Vicente Luque missed weight as a backup fighter

[jeff7b9]

Fine that motherfucker 20% !!!!

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

hahaha Fuck

 

[Dionysian]

Khamzat vs Burns for next title shot confirmed

 

[Elvis.]

Basically they were paying him to make weight, not a good look

 

[richardjohnson]

This. It's not like he's had a history of missing weight. He's an amazing fighter that deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Agreed. If he fails to make weight for his next fight then obviously he deserves some criticism but I don’t think it’s warranted right now

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

good luck in Bellator, Vince

he wishes. the ufc would never let him leave to bellator in his prime like this. he’s locked into that slave contract until he fights it out.

 

[Kertol]

I wonder if he’ll get paid, anyone know?

 

[Jonathan Utah]

Khamzat vs Burns for next title shot confirmed

Cumshot will have him laid out like GM3

 

[Mulletenthusiast]

I wonder if he just quit cutting after Usman and Covington made weight.

Well, i think that was happened. He was like, "fuck, mate. Why i would make weight".

 

[Megatronlee]

He should have stayed home

I wonder if he just quit cutting after Usman and Covington made weight.

Logical answer here

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

I can understand the lack of motivation, I mean what are the chances he's even gonna have to fight..?

He probably got news everyone was on weight that morning too so it was it just for show him weigh in.

Hope he's still getting paid.

 

[ookii]

The harsh replies here must be trolling since the likelyhood of him getting an actual chance to fight for the title as a backup was extremely low to begin with and it was at a short notice. LOL at the Paulo comparison

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Sherdoggers still punch holes in their walls even when guys who aren’t fighting miss weight <45>

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

everyone turning on luque now? sherdog lmao.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Shitshow

MMA fighter weighing in as a WW and then refueling to LHW is the biggest fraud and disgrace in professional sports

it is fuckin stupid but it also makes sense in some ways
It's turned into tradition now
you make the weight so both fighters have to experience the 'exact and equal ' suffering necessary to make the weight even though both fighters usually inflate afterwards

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Luque is a warrior, yes he didn't make weight. But he obviously tried. He's still get a pass from me, just because he's like one of the most exciting fighters out there to watch.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

How does this work? I assume Kamaru and Cringe had a clause in their contracts saying they were fighting Luque if their opponent was out... do they have to agree to an eventual non title fight main now? Does it not even get discussed until someone is out?

I've always heard it was discussed after and being a whole new deal, but backups are getting more and more common maybe that's started it's certainly advantages the ufc to have that in the fight agreement.

Logical answer here

Logical doesn't exactly mean smart. If his contract was to make weight that's what he should have done. Now he has unnecessary attention on himself that isn't positive.

Luque can't win here no matter what he does. If he turned to serve as a backup fighter on short notice here, Sherdoggers would call him a coward. They were already doing that with Leon
