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.

Wonderboy made weight, 2 fighters left

edit: GSP made weight, we're now just waiting on Joanna

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.

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.

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

Joanna makes weight right at 115.

Everyone is good to go, barring some kind of medical issue.

If you don't match Woodley up against an awkward but dangerous counterstriker (twice) who never makes the first move, or the best BJJ specialist in the division, then he probably wouldn't fight so carefully.

IDGI, large boards do server upgrade and/or hosting donation drives all the time. It shouldn't be that hard, the community is probably large enough to pay for it. Right now Lowtax is just explaining how he's lost money, and people aren't paying enough anymore. He also put up new things in the shop and asked people to buy shirts and whatnot. Which is fine, that probably helps too, but he just needs to be really clear, specific, and put the donation cup out.

"SA costs $X/month, so I need $3X every 3 months. Here's a link to donate, we'll have a cute little fundraising thermometer to show progress, but I need it to reach $3X by the end of March, or we'll have to think about making some big changes." Maybe give perks to people who donate a decent amount, perks to people who set up a monthly subscription, etc. I've seen this happen a lot of places, and if the community is large enough and cares enough, then it works, you just simply have to ask.

If he made it $10 a year I'd pay $10/year.

Honestly, I get more entertainment out of SA than Netflix or Fightpass, but I don't think I could convince myself to pay $10/month for a shitpost forum.

yeah, a lot of people won't pay poo poo, which is fine. But there's got to be a few whale goons with more money than brains who will make it rain on Lowtax if their forum is about to go under.

It's not over, he also got up on the cage and smacked a commissioner for the event. https://twitter.com/mmamaddale/status/929078380967940096

Not that it makes it any better, but the media has now clarified that he slapped a Bellator employee, not a commissioner.

That would definitely sell a lot of PPV buys. Nate isn't Conor, but who is?

Someone at Fox Sports doesn't know how to read odds.

Jesus Christ, what the gently caress happened in the last few hours? Conor get hit by a city bus? Brock Lesnar booked for a fight?!?

Oh, lol. Goons are easily riled up by bad posting.

I began to make it, then realized I haven't a vaguest idea who over half these people are.

That would give you more time to work on the official snack rating for the event, then.

I dunno why DJ would want to duck Dillashaw. I think he would win.

DJ thinks he is underpaid and he also believes that Dana wants to make that fight very, very badly. So, he's holding out for money.

Although that would be a great fight that I'd love to watch, I think DJ is overestimating his value to the company among casual fans.
