DC looked like death for the weight cut. He missed and came back 1.6lbs lighter (a new rule they seemingly made up on the spot). DC is a unit but he needs to stop eating garbage. He carries around too much bodyfat for a guy that size. Could you imagine if he was a lean 205lbs?

When Cormier comes back in he presses down on the towels being held for him, old pro trick to lift some weight off the scale ?

 

only way he could make weight in a couple of mjns having missed by a pound is throw up or take a dump.

 

he did look pretty terrible though

I thought you had a 1lb buffer but is that out the window now with the digital scales rather than the analogue ones? Either way dropping the last bit of weight so quickly is a little suss to me, also as @Gotterssays he was fairly gripping the towel rail to but better than another botched fight. Rumble made it no bother and looked great, DC looked horrendous and that'll maybe affect him during the fight even if hes put his some of his gut back on in the interveening 36 hours til tomorrow night.

 

Really looking forward to the Cote/Alves fight enjoy both those guys. I dont know much about the women fighting on the main card though.

Myles Jury is back tomorrow too, almost forgot about him. He was the next big thing for a while, loved seeing him get a literal arse kicking from Cerrone. Just googled him to see when his last fight was, one of the top results was 'whatever happened to Myles Jury?' :lol:

I might be wrong but is he the guy said on countdown who didnt bang his girlfriend for over 2 years?

Johnson is currently the 11/8 on favourite.

 

Crikey, see what you all mean, Cormier looked an absolute mess at the weigh-ins. Don't think he's shaking off a Rumble missile this time.

nice moment in the last embedded backstage after the weigh in where Cormier and Rumble shake hands and Cormier says he nearly missed and this is his last fight at LH, these embedded vids always build my interest in the big cards.

 

Cormier looked much better a few hours later at the official weigh in announcements and photo call - his face had filled back out and he didn't look so gaunt - that energy drain though of hitting weight won't be so quick to return, especially without IV.

DC is just cutting water I assume then. He is like 20% body fat it looks like. That's just a straight forward diet issue to me.

When says its his last fight at 205lb, i think thats a good move (assuming he's going to HW) but i think he'll find it harder than the expects against Werdum or Ngannou for example who are way bigger. As an aside id love to see Ngannou fight Rumble.

DC is a joke. How has he got away with cheating the weigh in like that?

I didn't know you had to make exactly the weight. Always thought there was a buffer of 1 or so.

 

never heard them say "championship weight?"

You cant look/feel/be that awful and recover in a day, let alone fight a monster puncher and take it well. 

McGregor at 145 did. He looked like he was about to die at that weight.

Thats true, he fought won and its a greater percentage of bodyweight lost sonid assume it has a greater effect and is harder but that was when he could use IVs to rehydrate/recover wasnt it?

 

When fighters used IVs was it just H2O? Or was it food bags or electrolytes, id imagine it was electrolyte stuff but i dont know

I still cant believe the NYSAC didnt tell DC immediately that he had 2 more hours, never mind falling for the old towel trick. Still...I hope he gets smashed.  I havent watched the official weigh in (the showy one) yet but I'd guess DC saying he's going up to heavy would just be a joke with AJ, there's no way DC fights Velasquez. But Ill watch it later and see how wrong I probably am.

I'm genuinely unsure of the main. Rumble looks like a man at the top of his game but I thought that last time. Gonna say Rumble by T/KO, R3. 

 

Also Mousasi by T/KO in 2. Then swanning off to Bellator to rub salt in the wounds.

No chance, Cormiers a good wrestler but overrated in MMA...2 years since the last fight, and he had to cheat to make weight.  I've still got Rumble.

 

Amused by the Olivera translator girl...she didnt translate any of it properly according to a load of portugesue people in the stream chat.

 

Also the California Eye Poker gets inducted to the hall of fame :mellow:
