Hendricks prefaces his weigh-in with an excuse about why he's going to miss weight; and then he makes weight. Fucken rofl

Masvidal makes weight. No-one has missed so far.

Fighters have until 11am ET to weigh in, and everyone who has weighed in so far did so successfully. There are only 3 fighters left who have not yet weighed in: GSP, Joanna Champion, and Wonderboy.

It's hilarious how everyone forgets they need to hold a pose for a few moments after they make weight.

JJ always struggles to make weight. I wonder how long she'll resist the urge to jump to flyweight.

She should be in the cage after the TUF finale

I'd love to see her fight Shevchenko for the flyweight title. Whoever wins TUF isn't going to successfully defend the belt.

Yeah she's always been very upfront about 115 not being her ideal weight. Assuming she retains the 115 belt it's going to be interesting to see if she tries to hold and defend two belts or relinquishes the belt and goes all out for 125.

if he's harnessing irony as a tool against journalists: cool. if he accidentally made weight: also cool

OK, Ariel, enough.

Re-enacting Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday Mr. President" the first time may have arguably been funny (it was not). The 2nd time was a bit weird, at this point you are now just being super-creepy.

GSP actually seems to be the one p4p great who's immune to "always bad" status, which I think has something to do with his ridiculously good resume AND that he never went on a horrible end-of-career losing streak (yet)

I think the split decision win over Hendricks would have been the beginning of the decline, but he made the smart move and retired. However, I think he has enough left in the tank to beat Bisping one final time.

15 minutes left, at this point its probably safe to assume that Joanna is having a difficult cut. Fighters don't voluntarily delay rehydration just for the hell of it.

Rigel

If Joanna can at least get to 116, then it sounds like NY will give her 2 more hours.

Conor hasn't fought MMA in a year. Impressive for a guy who hasn't defended 2 different belts

To recap how ludicrous this is:

After winning the 145 belt, conor fought nate diaz twice at 170 lbs, losing the first time, and then fought for the belt at 155 instead of defending 145. Then he took a year off MMA to make a bunch of money from a gimmick boxing match.

They put him and his two belts on the cover of this video game like he is the reigning champ of either of those divisions. He was stripped of his 145 belt and Tony Ferguson is the interim champ at 155.

*nodding* yeah good point. I wish they had put a real champ on there like someone who weighs less than 130 lbs and is maybe 5'5" max.

Yeah that's really crazy they put the UFC's most popular fighter showing his greatest achievement on the marketing material. Should have been Werdum calling someone gay.
