    Supposedly Johnson had to stop cutting weight because he couldn't feel his legs. How on earth can he have so much trouble making 185lbs but yet has fought so many times at 170lbs :confused:

    Not if he wins.

    If that was the case then, whats his name Alves would be long gone from the UFC.

    If Johnson has a good reason for not making weight, and apparently he does, then he won't be cut.

    It's gonna happen every now and again.

    Dana loves sh1t like this. Belfort and Rumble are now getting more interest than the main event.

    Dana has said, can't find the link, that he didn't believe Johnsons excuse, and this isn't the first time he's missed weight, happened on at least 2 other occasions IIRC, also he didn't just miss it, he was almost in another fcukin weight class!!

    This could have scuppered one of the main fights on the card involving the home favourite Vitor.

    I think Dana will bin him as a warning to others

    I hadn't seen that.

    If it isn't fight of the night then I guess Johnson has a problem.

    I think it'll take a miracle to save his job. Dana likes to make a point and make an example of fighters to warn everybody else that nobody is safe. If you fúck up on a scale as big as this then you deserve to be cut imo.
    At this level of competition then you could excuse it happening once or maybe twice, but when a guy has missed weight twice before and then moves UP in weight and misses it by a country mile, then his career has to be in question.

    I think there's ice in it and he chewing on it to keep a small bit of water in his system during the cut. It's an awful experience so sucking on small amounts of ice really helps.

    Yeah it's goin ahead. I'd say he won't be in great shape though as he weighed in at 204.5 or something at noon today. I'm no expert but to me that looks like he was keeping an eye on it and probably didn't get to re-hydrate as much as he'd have liked.

    That being said, I think Vitor is a far better fighter and would have beaten Johnson either way.

    johnson is in a tricky position now, i think his plan would be to take vitor down, now if he takes vitor down and its a boring fight hes not doin himself favours with dana and the potential chop. he seemed to be pointing at his leg/hip at the weigh ins when he was talking to dana, must have been injured to **** up so bad

    yeah I agree Phenom is a different pedigree of fighter .... in fact at his best prob on the top 20 all time MMA fighters list...
    but AJ is a wrecking ball when he's in the mood ....and it takes a quality performance to stop wrecking balls no matter what so Vitor better be ready to let them hands go...sharpish

    Can't believe Rio is only 2 hours behind us. Going to be a very late night for everyone over there.

    They must be showing this on FX? Coz the graphic said "UFC on FX", unless they're using this Facebook pre-lim to test it out?

    Great first round. Very close round actually but i'll say:

    10-9 Carvalho
