Why the main event move from 195 to 205?

He was lying. He looked fatter than usual.

He said he cut 7 kilos to make 205, so really he was around 220 the whole time. Super unprofessional to be that weight when he knows it was a 185 lb fight

220 sounds right. Shouldn't have been a problem to cut from 220 to 195.

Fighter Kevin Lee dehydrates the same or more and he's much smaller than Costa

Does anyone know why UFC moved it from 195 catchweight to a LHW fight?

Costa could have easily made 195, that's only 16 lbs from his claimed 211 at the media day....just under 8 percent bodyweight to cut for a guy who has lots of lean muscle (lbm holds more water % so lean muscular guys can lose a greater % bodyweight in water than average body fat guys)

Regardless you gotta give some respect to Costa...like he said in the Okamoto interview - he showed up to fight and put on a show without caring about his weight....was willing to fight at 185..195..205...even heavyweight if that's what UFC wanted. He knew there's a chance Marvin would back out but Costa still just focused on the fight instead of caring about weight.

He couldn't have fought at 185.... so no he wasn't willing to fight at 185. Despite that being the original weight agreed apon.. it's why he literally said he can't make 185.

How you've managed to spin a fighter missing weight and forcing his opponent to change weight class 2 days out from their fight into a positive is absolutely mind boggling to me.

It doesn't take balls to be the heavier man in the cage Rofl.

Costa will win, and everyone will forget about this in a few weeks...
 
Honestly though I tend to think less cutting is always good for both fighters safty and better fights.
 
He probably forgot to account for his nightly bottle of wine allowance.

That shit is important.

He said the UFC approached him about doing a 195 catchweight bout a few days before it became a 205 fight.

Costa probably would have fought at 186 or been a couple of pounds over like 187-188

Your troll game needs work
 
Costa fans ( Brazilians ) are so pathetic with the excuses …country pride gets in the way of common sense
 
Easy 16 pound weight cut lol try it before you judge it. If he's already cut some weight 4 pounds could be hard.
 
I'd be ok with this fight at 205 if both knew about it coming in. But Vettori was screwed, his whole camp was focused around it being a MW bout until the very last minute change.
So I'm rooting for Vettori to go in their and hopefully put a extended beating on Costa before finishing him.

Cause then they both can enter the LHW picture. Both have a 205lbs fight in their resume and you can slide them in for title shots in the future and use this as a PR angle.

Because this is for the LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD

Where you been?
 
If Costa loses, cut him. If Costa wins, cut him.
 
If Costa starches him in the first round, nobody will remember the details of this
 
Costa couldn’t even make 195 so they needed to make it 205

the fuck deliberately planned to come in 20 pounds heavy. Fucking cheater
