Vitor Belfort will fight Anthony Johnson (even though Johnson was 12lbs over)

[OTHstrong]

I dont know that it is unprofessional per se, the dude is playing the weight game like everyone else, but hasn't mastered the art yet, I don't know that Dana will cut him though, the dude has some great fights left in him - he was only 1-2 pounds away one hour before weigh in - I cant imagine a doc suggesting rehydration unless close to meltdown, as bodybuilders, you should know, the most dangerous aspect to contest prep is water/electrolyte levels and the possibility of renal failure and even death - the fight game is even tougher than gay sport BB - you not only have to mess with your body composition weeks before the fight - you then have to lay your balls out there for all to see for only one man to win and one man to lose. There can be only one!

Every wrestler on the planet has mastered cutting weight, especially a  national champ with over 100 matches, not givin a fuck about the fans and his opponent and the promotors is extremely unprofessional, he half-assed it just for a pay check obviousy, this wieght should not be left to chance, should be ready ahead of time so complications don't arise

Man, you guys make it sound like it is a science - the fight game is brutal - try it if you don't believe me - thy don't call it a Mugs game for nothing.  He didn't half ass it, he was within a pound of making weight before complications set in - if you have prepared hard for a show - you will know what this can take out of the body, can def kill you. better to be safe than sorry - and why would any fighter risk losing 20% of the best purse they ever made.  And not every wrestler on the planet has mastered weight management - that is simply not true, this is an issue for fighters in all fight games, not just UFC - and fat fuck Dana couldn't shed a pound, so he should remove that condescending tone from his vocal chords or hit the treadmill, either way, Dana knows that their will always be guys that struggle to make weight - it is not a science, as much as you wankers want to pretend it is.

About wrestles shedding weight, fine I will give you that one, but he was national champ.
On Dana, it isn't his job to shed weight, lol,.....You believe his excuse, what about the other 2 times? the guy is world class, but not professional and mistakes like this will cost you from competing with the elite and he deserves it

If you are a great fighter you can do whatever you want - if you are middle tier and up&coming you are afforded more liberty than the rest of the pack - If you are a hall of famer, you can fuck up as much as you want - but typically hall of famers are good dudes who don't cause trouble.
