stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

No, but standing over someone insulting them after you missed weight by five pounds is a big rear end in a top hat move. It would have been just as much of an rear end in a top hat move if he insulted him in some other way.

I think he was just in a fist fight with a guy who was favoured to beat the poo poo out of him by basically everyone and he made a really innocuous pro wrestling gesture to the man and all his detractors in post-fight adrenaline. I think you guys are being really hysterical.

Yeah, Brooks could have chosen not to take the fight and in that case I think he would have been paid his show money + the 20% penalty.

If he opted not to fight, he wouldn't get poo poo. No fight, no money. Due to the vast majority of fighters living fight to fight and being afraid to come off as not being a company guy, they always opt to fight the catchweight fight.

He said he did it because Brooks insulted him but left out the part where Brooks insulted him because he missed weight by a lot

Apparently it was specifically because Brooks insulted his mother, which I don't even know that actually happened, so, whatever.

If he cared so much he should have taken his money and hosed off. Instead he talked poo poo and got bashed.

What was the deal with the Ian McCall fight where the other guy cancelled due to weight cut issues a month or two ago? That seemed totally different + weird.

McCall was paid his show money for the last 2 fights he had where guys had to drop out for multiple reasons I believe.

Missing weight by five pounds is a complete rear end in a top hat move because it gives you a very significant advantage in the fight and puts the onus on the other guy to choose to fight anyway because there's signficant social and financial pressure on him to do so. And if he essentially does you a favor by letting you fight and make some money rather than coming away with nothing, if you then act like an rear end in a top hat to him after winning, you have acted like an enormous dickhead. This is not new, it has always been the general consensus around here that if you miss weight by a lot you should have the grace to not act like an even bigger dickhead afterwards, and you acting like this is a sudden inexplicable reaction is really loving dumb.

McCall had a bunch of people, including tonight's John Lineker, miss weight when he fought them at Flyweight and lost because of it, he took time off because of illness and had a guy miss weight again when he was meant to fight at 201 and refused to fight, but still recieved his show money, the guy called him a pussy and McCall was rescheduled for 203, but then that opponent dropped out because of illness and the fight was cancelled.

He's fighting Neil Seery in Belfast and it's going to be cool.

I thought this too, but he always looks so tentative when he's not knocking people out, so maybe Lineker takes over.

Will Brooks took the fight anyway, talked poo poo anyway, cowboy was fined as per the rules, everything is fair and square in my mind at this point.

Now with everything square, we have a crotch chop as the offensive gesture, I'm laughing at everyone getting hysterical. I realise I'm in the minority.

Yeah, and it's also funny because Ian Mccall had to pull out of a fight due to injury a long time ago and Seery got his shot in the UFC filling in for him. So it's all come full circle.

Justin Scoggins knew he wasn't going to make weight and told the UFC about it. When McCall found out he decided not to take a catchweight fight so the bout was cancelled. Scoggins then went onto Twitter and called McCall a bitch for not fighting him, even though he missed weight

What is Lineker's chin made of? I don't know how good it is overall, but he doesn't have like Alvarez, Edgar or Diaz style recovery, he just tanks hits like they didn't even land.
