Let's go Daniel Cormier

DC missed weight on the first attempt. Then came back two minutes later and made weight!

Originally weighed 206.2 then came back 2 minutes later and weighed 205.

Scale tampering?

"Pushing down on towel" conspiracy?? 

[stuntmovie]

Towel conspiracy seems possible.

Someone at home try it and let us know.

I'd do it but I don't have a towel

Maybe he dropped a 1.2 deuce of peace

Vegas has the contender as a slight favorite over the champ.

Should be a great fight.

[Don_Dada]

TowelGate looks to be a non issue with NYSAC

[ratherbebig]

i think its far more important that they get to fight than to bitch about being 1 pound over

I love that expression. 

[The Ugly]

Towel conspiracy seems possible.

How does this work, push down on towel to lighten scale load?

Because he didn't seem to push, or even grip hard on the towel. And the holders weren't bracing for a pushdown, either.

Or took a massive piss and threw up?

You're joking. but if you stop drinking water, you can lose a lot of weight really quickly as your body starts to, you know, die.

no, not joking, going to bed weighing 14st 11lb waking up 14st 4lb, electronic scales dont recognise me.

Im drinking around 8-10 litres of water a day

[ratherbebig]

why are you drinking so much water?

[Simple Simon]

why are you drinking so much water?

so I can get up at least 4 times in the night to pee....

it gets on my Mrs nerves...

"I dont know much about the NY commission, but its likely that they dont factor in decimals, Hence Cormier had to lose only 0.3 pounds.

Yes, they told him he was 206.2 with the decimal because they wanted to make it clear to him how much he was 'over' by. If you make weight the decimal isn't read. Well I'm basing this on the GSP incident in Canada, with correlation to Nevada.

Yea I read that Rumble came in at 203.8. Maybe if its under they read it anyways?

I'm pretty sure Cormier was given grace pounds (decimals) with accordance to the rules. Hard to believe that he cut down to exactly 205

Edit: Just checked out the entire weigh-ins list, and seems to make sense. There were fighters at 126, 156, 146, 116, and obviously Cormier at 205... these are basically the 'limit' for each of the fights, and hence featured no decimal. Meanwhile most of the other fighters weighed in with decimals.
Seems pretty clear from that, that they allow at least 0.5 in grace. Could be up to 0.9"

1.2 lbs.?

Some dumps weight that much.

7lbs is almost a gallon of water .. that's a lot 

[ratherbebig]

i drink 1-2 liters per day

This is a scandal.

-First time DC weighed in he didn't touch the towel and was 206.3 (had to be 205 or under because this is a championship fight).

-Minutes later he weighs in again but this time he leans on the towel with both hands and weighs 205 (used old wrestlers trick to beat the scale, lost 1.3 lbs in seconds).  

-Then the commission guy says that he leaned on the towel the first time he weighed in and not the second time (false, it was the opposite)

-He also says that using the towel would make him weigh more (once again false)


TLDR: DC used old wrestler trick to beat the scale and make weight

[The Wizard of Truth]

The fact that gave away the cheating was they forgot to readjust the scales after cormier was down 1.2lbs on it and rumble weighed in at 203.8lbs, again 1.2lbs from what he realistulically was (205lbs), amateur hour cheating at the ufc 

[The Keto Kid]

Cormier looked absolutely spent, must have been a brutal weight cut last 24 hours.
