The switch to early weigh-ins has seen a stupidly high number of fighters miss weight in the last 18 months, more than 50.

This year every fighter over their billed weight has gone on to win the fight, the measures the UFC are taking to combat this are clearly insufficient. Earlier this month Mackenzie Dern was so far over the weight she was just off the next weight category, yet the fight went ahead and she won easily.

I think weigh-ins and cutting need a major overhaul, it's bullshit you have someone fighting at 77kg when they really weigh 84/85.

He doesn't have to do it, he just wanted to be able to fight at a weight two divisions below his real weight.

The majority of fighters do it though and aren't going to stop and give an advantage to their opponent so it's up to the organisations to do something about it.

What's the point in weight divisions, when absolutely no one seems to fight at the weight they weigh in for

Aye read that after posting, what a weirdo White is. He's sent an extremely poor and unprepared (despite 4 years training Zlat ) fighter in Punk out there for the PR/money of it and then sacks another guy for not wanting to permanently damage him Fat Cunt

Warnock

He hasn't been training for four years has he Crowe That's hilarious, the guy is miles and miles out of his depth. Think Jackson is pretty shit as well tbf, but understandable that he held back a bit Laugh

He's got a lot of heart for making a change into a serious business at such a late age, but he is an absolute tool Laugh

He'll have made a pretty penny despite never looking comfortable in the octagon, so fair play.

That Ngannou Lewis fight was a total farce Warnock

That's the end of Ngannou as a contender, Dana White will be raging.

DC VanGaals Bitch There's an argument for him being the best considering Jones was probably juiced up when they fought.
