Why are people complaining about Sonnen/Belfort being at 205?

Wasteland this.

Per Dana, the fight's @ 185.

This. Destroy this thread. Read the news.

Sonnen just said in a really great interview (enjoyed it so much) that he signed a bout agreement for 205 bounds and that he ways 50lbs over 185 and won't be able to make it...

Easy solution for this clusterfuck.

Dana just needs to make the Belfort/Sonnen fight for the Intercontinental Belt. Then the Intercontinental champion obviously gets to fight the champion of their choice. C'mon Dana, you know you want to...

Because the winner will fight for the MW title at 185. Thats like Lawyler and Brown fighting at 185 and winner get title shot at 170

 

[SmilingBuddha]

He already got the shot after he beat Rockhold, I think he took the Dan fight because of the Anderson rematch.

For a title shot at 185? People were complaining that Belfort was being 'cheated' out his shot to Lyoto Machida, but Belfort earned his title shot that Machida is now taking by beating Dan Henderson at 205.

So. Basically, this already happened, but people weren't bitching about it then. They also conveniently forget this when trying to take away from Machida's shot

LOL at "Belfort was being cheated".

Wasteland this.

Per Dana, the fight's @ 185.

Per Dana, it also makes no sense to have a #1 contender fight in a different weight class.

might as well stop watching combat sports dude. at least they don't have catch weight title bouts.

wait for it

wait for it

YET

Silva-Diaz
Here we go

They want purity like the "good old pure days" when Vitor got title shots on catchweights and Randy got title shots on losing streaks.

Absolutely THIS ^

Very funny indeed. Thank you.
