Yoel better not have a pass out in his bathtub moment in the next hour.

This card can't survive losing the main event.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

He will now

Thanks for jinxing it meathead

 

[Kingz]

Just fight overweight. It’s a paper belt anyway

 

[PokerMage]

Dana is probably pacing around breaking shit in vegas

Never buy a PPV till just before the event begins

Honestly if its a struggle to make weight, missing for the competitive advantage is the smart move. Either way you will fight Whittaker in your next fight for the real belt if you win.

His pay would be drastically reduced in both the Rockhold, and the Whittaker fight if he decided to do that. Although some definitely make that decision.

Yoel probably ate some of those Aussie meat pies and got all blocked up.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Bahahaha

Thoses fckng weak card I swear...

Don't change UFC

 

[tdluxon]

3+ lbs in 2 hours is a longshot, especially if he's already dehydrated

True, has Yoel had trouble in the past doing so?

Just depends how much it helps him win. Losing 20% and getting another main event is better than getting 100% of show money and retiring.

 

[THEGOATOFMMA]

No for fat jesus

 

[Otto!]

That shit is so unprofessional.

He should start the fight with 1 point deduction in addition to the purse cut if he doesn’t make weight.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

If he does this card will be cancelled

 

[Quietus]

I have a hot take on the situation: Watch for him to potentially come back with a strange mark on his pec like Kevin Lee had, and magically make weight and seem okay. My theory is maybe UFC has a secret IV system they use to help people who are struggling with weight in important fights so they stop losing money by having to cancel main events of PPVs.

Notice nobody ever got that bonus hour or two until recently, since the Performance Institute was made and WME took over? All i'm saying is look into it.

Losing 20% in the Rockhold fight, and also getting regular contract pay in the Whittaker fight due to the fact that he isn't a champ, and won't get champ benefits like PPV Points.

Needed the towel to make weight for his last title fight. Thenfight before that he used some of the extra pound given for non-title shots.

As you get older losing weight would seemingly be harder, but then again he should also be losing some muscle to make it easier ha
