we already knew MMA fighters were the least professional of all professional athletes, but how can you miss weight on almost every fight and by 12#, good god man.

how dumb is he and his entire training camp, did he not get on a scale recently. i don't understand how this kind of stuff is still happening.

I'm just pissed off MAH FIGHT MONEY depends on Rumble.

 

[Host Samurai]

LMFAO @ Rumbles face before the weigh in.

 

[Maklershed]

^ Samuel L Jackson and Einstein!

 

[Heel]

Did Aldo's face look different to anyone else? He looked really sucked in to me. Maybe I'm over-analyzing.

 

[BigJonsson]

^ Samuel L Jackson and Einstein!

This guy?

 

[alr1ght]

Well Aldo usually has a tough cut, but he looked peppy.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Your job is to work out all day, how the fuck do you come in at 197? I just don't get it...

UFC had a monopoly on scales, they broke down my door and beat me bloody before taking my scales

[Chamber]

Yeah, I thought he looked better here than at previous weigh-ins. I know he was a zombie at 129.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

lol Chad Mendes is going to die.

 

[Heel]

Maybe he's just slimmer and had an easier cut? Hard to say. Curious to see a comparison. Probably just imagining things.

So what goes on if Rumble goes over 205?

So what goes on if Rumble goes over 205?

EDIT: Misread, I'd guess the last prelim gets bumped up to the main card

 

[Chamber]

So what goes on if Rumble goes over 205?

Fight canceled. Rumble becomes Bellator LHW champion.

Funny thing is the Bellator LHW champion weight like 195/200.

This "UFC CHampion's Roundtable" on Fuel is a lot of fun so far. Just Jay Glazer, Mir, JBJ, Chuck, and Forrest hanging in a room talking about the sport.

Johnson's weight problem makes this article so great in hindsight.

UFC 142's Anthony Johnson: No Longer Starving, 'Rumble' Is Hungrier Than Ever

[iddqd]

I wonder how hard he tried to get down.
He looked shredded..
Whatever it took out of him.. he is now barely able to put water back in because he cant get over 205..
Switches my pick from the hamburglar to the praying vitor

 

[Sinatar]

Yea I was going to pick Rumble but now I'm not so sure.

 

[parrotbeak]

Vitor by vicious KO, if the fight even happens. Rumble is going to look and feel like shit.

 

[Centurion]

Rumble will have to knock him out in the first round, or he's fucked. It's gonna be a crazy first round... If he can stay under 205 that is.

Breaking: UFC builds secret octagon elevator and escape tunnel for future champion Mendes

I was just thinking yesterday - could you imagine what happens if a gigantic national soccer stadium full of angry, drunk Brazilians witness Sonnen beating Silva?

 

[alr1ght]

there's more free tix available on XBL. For those that have used it before, were you able to select the HD stream after having ordered the SD? For some reason it didn't like my connection so I just ordered the SD.

I'd be more afraid for the judges tbh since the only way Sonnen beats Silva is via LNP decision.

Hoho that would be even better if Silva was clearly dominating all 5 rounds but Adelai Bird and Cecil Peoples unexpectedly give the win to Sonnen.

 

[AstroLad]

Or even something like Mousasi-Lawal where Silva clearly does more damage but is unquestionably outpointed.

 

[Instro]

lol I just read about Johnson's weigh in, what a moron. Vitor will fuck him up either way, but it will be hilarious if he gets cut after this fight.

 

[Centurion]

"you gon get fired"

 

[Chamber]

Lorenzo ice grilled him.

 

[ldcommando]

Fight is on. Rumble weighted at 204.2 lbs.
Vitor vs a heavyweight confirmed for tonight.
War Belfort.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the crazy thing is Rumble still looks ripped, which explains why it would be so hard for him to make weight. He's probably got no more weight to lose. He should just fight at 205 and go to StrikeForce.

 

[MjFrancis]

I didn't get rid of the Troll Bruce Lee avatar, Rumble took him away from me!

I hope Vitor wins dramatically.

 

[Chamber]

They let Rumble off the hook letting him weigh-in ~14 hours before the fight. I hope he wins just for the troll potential.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Honestly, I still want Rumble to win because 185/205 need new blood. Vitor's time is over.

She is more latina.

 

[BrettWeir]

Even if they let Rumble fight and cut his purse I dont see how he's gonna pull this off. He's gonna be exhausted and more importantly, dehydrated as fuck.

Good. Best case scenario, with it ending in him being cut. (sorry, I'm a Rumble hater)

 

[yacobod]

think she's a mexican/filipino mix.

Can anyone get what AJ is saying to Dana about "you know what happened?", sounds like he's explaining something to Dana but I don't know.

"My fucking lin-" ? Probably liver?

He is saying something about his leg.

Pretty interesting article here about the impact the botched weight cut will have on Rumble come fight time.
