I'm still buying this PPV, but this is why you never, ever preorder a UFC PPV until the afternoon on fight day. Wait as long as possible, you never know what will come up. Hell, Woodley could wake up violently ill tomorrow morning, and you'd be kicking yourself if you already bought it.

i personally think its time for a crusade against letting fighters cut too much weight

now would be the perfect time to change the weight classes to make them 10 lbs apart , since there isnt a champ worth a poo poo except hw

There is more than enough talent for there to be an additional division from 155-185. Not so much for adding a 195 though.

I think 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 205 would be ideal. Flyweight would get more depth and new challengers for MMDJ, and both the 160 and 180 divisions would be sweet spots for a bunch of fighters.

No.

only sorta though. he's fought 8 guys in 5 years which really isn't that bad. however khabib is from the camp that has so many frequent fight cancellations that it looks bad for everybody.

In my opinion Cain is the only guy who really never actually fights. Rockhold/Khabib/Cormier/Thomson/etc. aren't that bad for pulling out of fights, but together, it looks very bad.

UFC on Fox 19 - Ferguson has too much blood in his lungs
UFC 209 - khabib hospitalized from weight cut


Does anyone have the khabib tweet making fun of Pettis (?) for being injured so much

what poo poo metric are you using to say thats not that bad? Average of less than 2 fights a year. 2012-13 were fine, 1 fight in 2014, 0 fights in 2015, 2 fighters in 2016.

Against Cerrone and Ferguson in 2015, but those where weeks in advance because of injuries. He's never had weight cutting problems before, maybe he just got the flu or something.

yes, tons of top ranked fighters barely average 2 fights a year. khabib and the rest of AKA (other than Cain) are only a little behind the average. it isn't a big deal.

tony ferguson himself has fought a grand total of 2 more fights than khabib has in that span of time. it barely matters.

195 did work out so Rich Franklin, Wanderlei Silva, and Vitor Belfort didn't have to cut to 185 a few times.

if you switch to 10s you only get to keep 170. if you go from 135 to 145 etc you get to keep more.

If he fought two times a year, whatever, but he averages far less than two fights a year and pulls out left and right. Its not good, its bad.

Also Mark Hunt is a moron and I hope Overeem punches his stupid face in so he'll at least temporarily shut the gently caress up about steroids.
