So Ferguson trips on a wire and does his knee, Khabib gives Lobov a slap in the corridor, McGregor smashes up a bus and spends the night in jail, Holloway can't make weight and there isn't a main event fight arranged for tomorrow yet. The actual fights will have to be ridiculous to beat that

Box office.

The whole scene with CM was like something Eric Bischoff would have set up in the mid-90s. UFC becoming more like WWE/WCW every week.

For the most embarrassing night in UFC history, Dana White isn't half doing a shit load of promotion on it

[Zizou]

Khabib getting a fair amount of stick for his performance last night but he totally dominated. He is ridiculous on the ground. McGregor would have a chance though as he's a far better striker.

Just watching last nights card, Machidas KO

How much would being a pound or two above mean for the fight?

[Zizou]

In reality they will both come in about 20lb heavier. Which is why he'll probably fail a weigh in today.

It's more just that failing to make weight looks unprofessional and disrespectful than anything.

I won't claim to know much about it other than what I've read on here but do must of them go to extreme lengths to hit the weights then have time before the fight to recover, if he had to do the weigh in today then fight tonight is that a risk for him?

[Shuto Makino]

The weight he missed was 170lbs and he had to weigh in at 188 today, so it's not quite as though he's had to weigh in today as dehydrated as he would've needed to yesterday. He'll have been able to rehydrate less than he would've liked, though, and it will impact upon performance. I imagine it is also a bit of a risk in terms of things like brain damage etc (obviously getting hit in the head already puts you at risk of brain damage anyway, but being dehydrated increases the risk).

The amount these guys cut is crazy. I feel like shit doing about 5lbs (which is obviously completely healthy and safe and no brain damage risk haha let's talk about Darren Till again)

So he's missed it by a mile then!

[Shuto Makino]

Think he weighed in at 174 yesterday - they let him rehydrate, just not as much as he usually would've.
