    Dana screwed the pooch with his infinite belt marketing gimmicks. Holloway wanted the fight to be for no belt at 170 just for the sake of a good fight but the UFC in their never-ending stupidity wanted a belt on the line, now they have nothing really. Pettis vs Khabib at 155 isnt nearly as good as Holloway vs Khabib at 170.

    Well done Dana

    Not having a backup plan for a fight cancelled 3 times already was very weird I thought, especially as the last one was cancelled so late.

    So Petis will weigh in in next 10 mins and then have 2 hours if needed.

    They needed the LW belt on the line to get it off McGregor. Could they not have told Max to stop cutting, Khabib can win the belt Max can't? As long as he wasn't above 160 (think that's New York limit they'll allow at LW).

    Naked weigh in 155.2, he will have time to make it.

    Is McGregor still getting the belt stripped then?

    He showed up to weigh in, commission doctor checked him out, decided he wasn't fit to fight, commission scrapped the fight.

    Just get the belt off mcgregor so we can all move on.
    I Don’t care who gets it.
    He can go play gangsters in Dublin, while we get to watch some title fights.

    Any theories or explanation as to why Max wasn’t cleared? Hijinx going on with his weight?

    He hadnt made weight and was still cutting..he was checked by the doctors and they declared him medically unfit. The weight cut was probably too much on his body at this stage and in such a short time and they werent happy and shut it down.

    Rose - TKO/KO
    They should just pull Khabbib and reschedule him to fight Mcgregor in the summer and bump up Rose Joanna to main event.

    Pettis supposedly not weighing in a second time, Ariel saying no deal in place for him to fight yet. Guess Pettis can't win it but Khabib could if the fight does go ahead.

    Who do we predict will be LW Champ come Sunday?

    McGregor, Khabib, Pettis, Ferguson, Felder, Other, No one?

    Absolute **** show, I'll go Khabib now that it looks like he will fight for a title against Felder

    Edit: Pettis out, Felder in against Khabib per Karyn Bryant. Pettis wanted more money

    Probably because the cheap skates won't pay him the green he's asking for.

    And with all due respect, he should be getting well compensated for stepping up.

    Especially given that he'd likely be taking a horrendous beating (for a duration of Khabib's choosing)
