is this some sort of record? 33 lbs weight gain over the weigh in weight?
Markes looked HUGE compared to Vemola when they fought at 205 and Vemola is definitely bigger than Simpson.
Will this play out in a bad way for Markes or will his size carry him to a win vs. the A-Train?
Size being equal, I'd take Simpson but now Markes giant size is making me worry =/
Am I missing the link or backup or something to say this or are u just privy to some awesome behind the scenes info? 
That is crazy news, you got robbed vs Simpson btw.
Didn't Weidman cut something silly against Maia?
Is the 218 a weight he weighed today or was this the weight he was prior to the weigh-in yesterday?
holy shit, 33lbs? where'd you hear that?
I'm not a know nothing rookie when it comes to dieting and cutting weight, but goodness that almost seems impossible to put that much weight back on right away. But to answer your question, I guess it could be one of those things where he'll have a huge advantage early and then Simpson having a huge advantage in the gas tank later if he can survive.
205 sounds right for everything.
Markes is a beast who has underrated wrestling ability thought he had a chance to beat A-Train but now I think he has a great shot A-Train needs to fire the right hand

BradGluckman - Markes is a beast who has underrated wrestling ability thought he had a chance to beat A-Train but now I think he has a great shot A-Train needs to fire the right hand??? You think that cutting 33 pounds helps his chances? I'm waiting for the guy to gas and get pounded out in the 3rd round now.
33 pounds in one day is insane if true.
The biggest gain I've ever witnessed was a wrestler friend of mine that rehydrated 28 pounds in 24 hours and I thought THAT was crazy.
I predict he gasses the fuck out

Yep ^ that could happen ^ or he could use the extra lbs to gnp Simpson or get a submission in the first or second should be a good fight Simpson's right hand could be the difference
probably on the low end for tibau lol!
ttt
I was surprised that he didn't seem to gas at all even though the fight had a lot of clinch work.
On the other hand what are they doing in Nova Uniao that is producing these top fighters with nearly impenetrable takedown defense? Well I know he was a lot bigger than Simpson in that fight but still. Aldo, Barao and now Markes. Any more?
Markes won via his weight cutting skills. Shit like that is bad for the sport.
Devereaux - Markes won via his weight cutting skills. Shit like that is bad for the sport.
Weight cutting is a part of the sport. What'sb ad for the sport are uneducated and hateful fans who never give fighters credit and only look to disparage their performances.
