    Khabib's weigh in looks dodgy for sure.

    It's amazing that Khabib is still able to do that cut considering that he was hospitalised making that same weight 3 and a half years ago. That's probably one of the main reasons why he talks about retiring so much - he knows there's only so many times left that he can do it.

    What weight does Khabib cut from? 180-185 lbs?

    I think he was bigger then than he was for recent fights. Unless he’s added mass for this fight.



    No idea what he’s cutting from. But 175 would be a big LW.

    The one and only time I ever put money on a fight was when Johnny hendricks barely made weight against robbie Lawlor, he looked like death warmed up on the scales. He subsequently went 5 rounds and I lost my e20. That was pre usada and during the times they could use an iv bag to rehydrate, I wonder if khabib can recover quickly enough, he looks like ****e on those scales.

    Yoel romero vs Whittaker 2. He was carried to the scales, and missed weight. In the girst fight he was outclassed. Part 2 changed Whittaker i reckon.
    Pay no mind to the scales.

    Khabib will rag doll Gaethje unless Gaethje has made serious adjustments.

    Khabib looked the same at this weigh in as he always does.

    And the lad doing the weigh ins did the exact same thing with the scale with other fighters

    First time a decent UFC card is in at a decent time and
    there no way to legally watch it unless you have Sky.

    Only way I can see is to have a VPN and order the PPV on a phone or pc and hook it to a Tv. Don’t wanna rely on streams that will freeze. Will just turn my phone off and download the PPV whenever it’s uploaded which will
    Probably be 11.30pm.

    Needs to be more clarity on the rules around weigh ins.
    If Khabib wins on decision, Justin can feel hard done by based on that sham of a weigh in.

    After DCs embarrassing weigh at UFC210, that's when communication from the UFC should of been ironed out so a similar occurance wouldn't happen again.

    That's the problem when one man has all the power, dictator Dana decided what's on the menu and what's not.

    Alvarez with another good submission!

    Cormier is already annoying me with his babble as usual
