Brian ate hios way to teh 242 class because he originally thought it woiuld be him and coop in the 220, once he saw other competitors he did what hankins does, took the easy way out
Liar Wood Hankins showed up at 216 because he knew if Cooper missed weight at 220, Hankins would need to enter 220 to avoid Cooper.
If Cooper made 220, then Bullshitter Wood Hankins would need to fake his weight up into the 242 class.
Thought process of a coward and a cheat.
