Hopefully the person is ok

Very disappointed as a long time fan and if it's as it appears to be I hope he faces appropriate consequences

Thicker than a snickers weekly report

Darren Till misses weight by 3 pounds
Molly McCann misses by a pound

They really need to get this under control.
People need to face harsh consequences for missing weight.

They should not be allowed a fight at the missed weight class until they move up a class for one fight and then can try to make it again.

We have a real problem with ruined fights and ruined cards over this and it's created an environment of cheating by only taking 20% and allowing catch weight fights.

Make the weight or lose the fight and be moved up a weight class. Some of these fights are very very unfair in regards to size and as a professional sanctioned event the highest standards of safety and size fairness have to be strongly enforced

The smaller fighter that makes the weight is not guaranteed any money and is put under tremendous pressure to still fight. Power punchers and Jujutsu masters have used it as a way of cheating a long time. They take the financial consequence to get the win which is more valuable in the long run

Most fighters in recent history that missed weight have gone on to win their fights

If one participant over or under the line by a pound, the match should be cancelled automatically, and his payment should be cancelled. :Y Or if they are not too far away in mass, I mean A is under it by 1 and B is over it by 1, the judges should ask the other participant if its okay, and he could say it's not without consecvences. IMO

Charles Oliveira had the biggest weigh-in miss, coming in nine pounds over the scheduled featherweight limit at UFC Fight Night 98.


Opinion

let them weigh in whenever up to a certain time

allows varying schedules and preferences and some fair wiggle room

What is not fair is sending these thicker than a snickers dehydrators in there with naturally smaller people that professionally made the weight

Make the weight or you don't fight and have a mandatory fight at the higher weight class before able to try again at the lower . Fight at the class you should be fighting in

Conor update

0 title defenses
0 mma fights in 2 years
1 unimpressive bulge

Yoel just ran out of time and missed weight by .2 in a title fight

not sure if fight will continue as a non title fight or scrapped

second straight miss for yoel

BOO!!

The (non) title fight was incredible

Robert Whittaker is amazing and Yoel is the scariest man in the UFC even more so than Francis

He has about 5 power attacks per fight that are terrifying and most of them only missed Robert by a hair and puckered cornholes all over the world

He is so fast and so strong and my boy Whittaker beats him twice

Whittaker breaks his main hand in round 3 and fights that monster one handed all the way to a decision, incredible

amazing fight

Oh colby you annoying little man it irks me how talented and skilled you showed yourself to be last night guaranteeing I have to listen to your cringey nonsense for years to come, congrats!!

Miss Holly gets it done against that giant legged Australian. Megan was tested at the highest level and she isn't there yet, lots of holes and weaknesses, she should thank her luck stars she didn't get tested against cyborg that would have been nasty

Miss Holly vs Nunes is the fight I am down to watch ASAP, after that another fight against cyborg. The division is empty af but I think if anyone will ever beat Cyborg before she retires it's gonna have to be nunes or Holly. Holly is one kick away from beating anyone she just needs to boost her confidence and up the aggression a bit without sacrificing her skill and smarts

That rand that fought cm punk was the actual punk in the fight. Not sure what his point was fighting how he fought but lame af
