GobbleDog 815 Posted June 8, 2018 I'm not a UFC guy, but I saw Colby Covington's fight in Brazil last year.... never knew who he was until his post fight interview. Skip to 0:30.... A few days later he apologized saying "I would like to formally apologize to any filthy animal I offended by comparing them to my hosts in Sao Paulo." Covington is an underdog tomorrow night... versus a Brazilian. Might be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen2me 23 1,537 Posted June 8, 2018 He is actually the favorite. And apparently Romero barely missed weight and that fight becomes a non title fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 8, 2018 I’m most excited to see CM Punk in his 2nd fight. He was an extremely popular WWE wrestler who quit the business and wanted to fight. The thing is, he’s a and got his azz kicked in his first fight. Now everyone wants to see it happen again. He refuses to just come back to wrestling even though he would make a boatload of cash.

tubby_mcgee 686 Posted June 8, 2018 Woodley will beat his ass, then he will complain that he had to fight a wrestler. Wash, rinse repeat. Too many MMA'rs complain about wrestlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,547 Posted June 8, 2018 Guy weighs in 1 pound over weight, they give him 2 hours to lose it. so he can weigh in at 185 and then gain 15 by the fight and weigh 200 dumbest thing in all of sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. Seems like they should step on the scale as they enter the ring. Not a week before it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 8, 2018 Agreed. Seems like they should step on the scale as they enter the ring. Not a week before it. Or just get two guys who want to fight get in the octagon and fight and forget all the weight nonsense. 3 weight classes is all you need. Shrimps, normal dudes, big dudes, simple.

edjr 5,547 Posted June 8, 2018 Agreed. Seems like they should step on the scale as they enter the ring. Not a week before it. They typically weigh in what, Friday evening? and fight is late saturday. They started a few years ago during boxing telecasts to have the boxers actual weight, before he enters the ring. i've seen as much as 20 pound gain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the 170s in MMA will be as much as 200 on fight night. Sure you could have them weigh in before they get in the cage. Then what if they miss? You will still have guys trying to fight in a lower class than they should. There is no perfect way of doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted June 10, 2018 I guess Dana was pissed at Jacksons performance against Punk and said he would never let him fight in the UFC again (Jackson) Anyone see the why or what he was pissed about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd assume it was because he just toyed with Punk for 3 rounds instead of finishing him which he easily could have done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 10, 2018 He fights under his wresting stage name? I have a lot less sympathy for him now. You have to remember hes only being given a spot on the main card because he was a wrestling star. He is really sour on the wrestling business but Im betting they only let him fight on the condition he uses his wrestling gimmicks that make him recognizeable. Hes a sideshow to get eyes on the product that normally wouldnt watch. He is now 0-2 and even Dana White says he shouldnt fight anymore and is done in the UFC.

Yes he was toying with Punk and at one time had him in the ground punching him without even looking. Nothing crazy but enough for Dana to completely eviscerate him in the presser.

He has noone to be pissed at but himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
