Wow...must make 205 by TOMORROW?

What the fuck was he thinking?

WHAT THE FUCK?

excuse me... What an unprofessional asshole. seriously. He knew what weight he had to make months ago.

jesus.

So... Was he suppose to fight at 170??

Ok hol up .. before everyone goes crazy do any of you give them the benifit of doubt being in another country and not being able to take teh weight off properly?


sauna issue? time change issue ? diet issue?


yay or nay?

 15 extra pounds, and he still misses?



You gotta question what's going through his head around weigh-ins, how can this so consistently be a problem at MULTIPLE weight classes?

wow 15 pounds? i thought it was like one or 2

Johnson should seriously considering moving to HW. I'd say LHW but by the sounds of it he may have trouble making 205.

wow 15 pounds? i thought it was like one or 2


I think he meant since Johnson moved up he has to drop 15 less pounds, not that he's missing weight by 15.

Holy shit how ridiculous Phone Post

Brazil basically is a sauna. There is no time change between Brazil and the US, more of a seasonal one, it's summer down there, and if he didn't research for food, it's his own fucking fault. So total NAY!

It would be one thing if he was 3-4 pounds over....but they are saying he has to make 205..205! by TOMORROW...so how far overweight IS he?

There's just no excuse for this....I thought he was looking bigger in videos but I just assumed it was filmed a while ago....it seems like instead of keeping himself where he was at for 170 and making the cut easier...he took this weight move up as an excuse to bulk up even more essentially forcing himself into making the same kind of cut....so..say..instead of cutting water from 205 to 170...he's now cutting from 220 to 185.

That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this outside of blatant stupidity.

 no, the 15 lbs, is because he used to fight at 170, but he moved up to 185 because he was missing weight. (this is his first fight at 185) and now he still misses weight. by how much.... who knows.



word. crazy .. i need to see this fight tho. most interesting one on the card imo

I said the same thing. How freaking big is this guy!?!?

Is this real life?

The fact that Vitor is restricting him to a weight of 205 tomorrow is going to be insanely hard on Rumble, he probably won't be able to rehydrate properly. Very smart move on Vitors part.

Rumble has to be at least 300 lbs in that pic. He makes Arlovski look like a skinny kid.
