Holy fuck I've never seen as many people fail to make weight!! U guys think it has something to do with high elevation bring in Colorado? 
Patrick Walsh 6 1/2 pounds over FFS
Sounds like he didn't want to fight? That's a lot of weight
camozzi - Sounds like he didn't want to fight? That's a lot of weightVU! Thats what I thought too. He looked very concerned at the weigh ins. Liked like he didn't want to be there at all

Tiresias -Man. That sounds so crazy that I thought it might not be true. But it IS on the Internet, So it must be. Thank you random unknown Internet person.The Winker - Holy fuck I've never seen as many people fail to make weight!! U guys think it has something to do with high elevation bring in Colorado?
Absolutely. The force of gravity, and thus one's weight, increases with elevation in correlation with the greater mass of earth beneath one's feet. On the highest mountains, weight increases so much that it becomes hard to even move, which is why so many people die on peaks like Mt. Everest.

in Nature, birds - especially high-flying ones - have a special organ in their lungs that absorbs helium (a gas that is lighter than air), which counteracts this phenomenon. that's why birds have high voices. in birds where this organ has been removed, the chirping of birds sounds like whale farts.
in the days of the dinosaurs, there were reptilian birds who had an organ that could do this with hydrogen (which is even much lighter than helium) but when the volcanic period happened, most of these reptilian birds died, from igniting and exploding.
but one of the species survived, by going into the sea, where the hydrogen wouldn't ignite.
of course it had to eat a lot of rocks to do so.
Maybe the UFC should have a weight screening well prior to the fight. Both to make sure a fighter can make weight, and do so reasonably.
GroverSexyArea - of course it had to eat a lot of rocks to do so.Not sure if all that is true but awesome post anyways. I'm gonna tell people that it is lol
How many missed weight?
Needlemover - Maybe the UFC should have a weight screening well prior to the fight. Both to make sure a fighter can make weight, and do so reasonably.Not sure if it would work because many fighters drop a lot of weight in the last couple days and do so successfully. But for guys known to miss weight that would be a good idea!
Shy Guy - How many missed weight?Just three i think its seemed like a lot at the time because they were so close together at the weigh ins. Patrick Walsh was the worst he was 6 1/2 over and didnt even looked dragged out at all
nsbroc - No one is running as many PEDs to help cut lol. everyones shakin in their boots to piss hotI was thinking that too but didnt say it
The Winker -3 is still a lot for one card.Shy Guy - How many missed weight?Just three i think its seemed like a lot at the time because they were so close together at the weigh ins. Patrick Walsh was the worst he was 6 1/2 over and didnt even looked dragged out at all
I wonder what Walsh's deal is. Joe Silva didn't look happy.
Shy Guy -Not sure. U would think missing that badly he would have some kind of explanation be it sickness, injury, yeh Joe Silva looked pissed you could see he started to shake his head and stopped lolThe Winker -3 is still a lot for one card.Shy Guy - How many missed weight?Just three i think its seemed like a lot at the time because they were so close together at the weigh ins.
