So they put Al in there over Paul do .2 pounds? I guess it makes sense if they want to make sure nobody gets the title but Khabib

A lot of the crap falls on the UFC but most of the shit show today is because the NYSAC is completely ridiculous and doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

Someone from the commission ruled Holloway "medically unfit" because he looked rough while cutting weight and felt he cut too much too fast... That person wasn't a doctor.
The commission wouldn't approve Paul Felder for the shot because he isn't "ranked" and they didn't want a mismatch.
The commission won't grant the allowance for the .2lbs that Al was over even though he weighed in in his underwear because he missed the cut off to make championship weight.


There's no way I would fight in NY if I were a fighter. They're idiots in control.

Yeah, he should have made 155lbs. The title is on the fucking line!!

To be honest though, Al probably thought that he needs every advantage he can get tommorow because he knows hes fighting a damn Monster.

He wont have the belt but Raging Al will be looked at as the champ and in line to fight McGregor. Can you imagine the press conference?!

He weighed in early just to get it over with. At that point Max hadn't been ruled out yet.

I have a feeling if he knew he would have had a chance at fighting for a title he would have dropped his underwear and hit 155.



All that said... Am i the only person that thinks the 1lb allowance is dumb? You either make the weight for the division or you've missed it. Get that shit out of here.

I get the situation but considering we knew khabibs history and all the news about the huge cut max was attempting, I think I may have made 155 in case.

That’s what I’m saying, it seems like they picked him over felder because they knew he was over the weight limit to be able to win the title. That’s a bunch of BS

Nothing against Al but I want Khabib to have his best performance ever on Saturday so he can deliver a strong post fight speech.

Either way I think we could be in for a great post fight speech .

Ragin Al is constantly in disputes with the UFC brass, can't even win a bonus, VP of Project Spearhead,... And a legit crazy bastard would surely say some fun shit.

Do you even follow mma?
You know he thought he was fighting somebody else when he weighed in right?

You only have 2 hours and they had not made a deal yet
By the time they reached a deal the time limit had passed
It doesn't matter though, the shorts easily weigh .2lbs and he should get the title if he wins

Dana has said if he wins, he gets the title, Fuck nsac

What I like is both guys fighting for the title won't take UFC bullshit
Al has already held out and khabib has shown he fights when he wants to fight

This could be fun as fuck to watch it you hate WME

All of this can be solved quite easily. If Al pulls off the huge upset, on Sunday the UFC hands him the belt. There is no rule that says they can’t do it, just like Ronda and Aldo.

They will give him the title that night
He just won't be recognized as champ by nsac and won't fight there next fight

Yeah they can do that to. He could fight there next week and it wouldn’t matter. He can be made champion at any time , for any reason and NY can’t stop that.
