@Sholler_UFC: We will have an update on the Lineker and Gastelum fights shortly. #UFC183

And few minutes ago

quote:

@Sholler_UFC: Lineker fight will proceed. He's been fined 20 percent of his purse.


Hopefully they wont cancel Kelvins fight

No way Lineker gets a title shot if he wins, and in that case they'll probably be hoping that Cejudo can actually make the weight (he never has) and wins or else they've got, uh, Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Mighty Mouse.

Also quite that we'll see Mighty Mouse back at 135, as they're a bit short on healthy contenders there right now.

that would happen only for a superfight with dillashaw. it wouldn' t look good if mm just went up to face 'some guy' at 135 because his division was abysmal

That's exactly what I meant. They need a contender for the belt, no matter who wins in Montreal.

Wonder what costs more paying for Dolce or losing a big chunk of the fight purse. Uncle Dana isn't going to be happy with him.

He actually said straight up coming off the TUF contract that it was way cheaper to eat the 15% or whatever for missing weight by a few pounds or whatever.

Now I've seen 20% and 30% for Lineker, and that Gastelum/Woodley is on with a 30% fine and that it's off with Woodley stepping in to replace Wonderboy vs. Thatch. No idea what is actually correct.

E: okay it looks like 30% for both Linker and Gastelum, with both fights happening.

I think it's 30% fines for both guys, both fights are on for tomorrow, UFC is currently looking for a replacement for Thatch. Yeh.

Thompson vs Thatch was already a weak main event but you could sell it to hardcore fans cause both guys are unique and Thatch has a lot of hype. But Thatch has no business headlining a card against the nobody they will get on 2 weeks notice.

I'm gonna watch it but that's gonna be a poor card

It should be off if Ariel is correct and the reason he was 10lbs over was that he was sick all week, 175 last night but started vomiting at 5 am so he had to be hydrated in hospital. Kelvin is in no medical condition to fight, purse or no purse.

Maybe there will be another poopie-pants incident tomorrow.

It sucks that kelvin is actively trying to sabotage his career because he's a fun fighter. but he's really young so he still has time to straighten it out. Also this card has mccall vs lineker in it? jesus. I can see casual fans only looking forward to silva v diaz but for us gay fans this card is stacked as gently caress. natal v watson is going to suck for sure though

I'm fine with any result for Silva v Diaz but the prospect of Nick winning and probably fighting Lawler is a lot better than Anderson winning and us getting Weidman v Silva 3. I'm very conflicted.

if any of the reports are true Nick Diaz does not want to be there at all. Diaz can tune that poo poo out and 209 his way through a fight but Anderson should be winning before they even touch gloves.

if it helps any, with how often Weidman is injured, the fight would probably never happen and we'll instead finally get Anderson/Bisping or something.

Nobody is going to literally die because they have the flu. The guys who die in fights have serious conditions like aneurysms and problems with their hearts. Being sick doesn't make you die when you get punched in the face.

being seriously dehydrated going into a fight is a good way to induce TBI as the layer of fluid padding your brain is depleted.
