Props to ABC for taking the fight. I like Dern, but must root for ABC now. & 7 pounds is a joke.

I remember they moved a fight to 135 even though one fighter made the 125 limit, the commission ruled that he was cutting too much weight to make FLW and that justified them doing the fight at 135. (after the other guy was ruled as likely to miss weight)
Alex Perez vs Carls John de Tomas.
Perez was told to accept it and fight or not get paid. Dern missing weight by 7lbs explains why the UFC rung her midweek voicing concerns
I'm sure a fight was cancelled withing the last couple of months because the comission would not even let someone attempt the cut when they showed up fight week. Certain of it. It's on the tip of my tippy tongue
I thought Cooper looked like the bigger woman at the face offs. Definitely more muscle mass, bigger arms, broader shoulders.
It's like Dern didn't even try to make weight.
That's one of those weird subjective rules where it varies state to state/commission to commission. NY definitely has the 5lb rule.
I doubt that CABMMA has anything like it though.
Find a photo of Dern eating anywhere anytime, post in the internet and put a caption saying it was a couple days ago. Everybody will go crazy. Because you can only post pictures on social media that were taken within a few days of the time of posting.Mackenzie do bronx Dern
that was so wrong from a legal standpoint but so fair from a real life standpoint.
it's a shame a system like that couldn't ever be applied.
Gilbert Burns and Olivier Aubin-Mercier ?
If the fighter is over the 8-percent mark of their target weight, then the UFC would, at minimum, follow that fighters weight cut throughout fight week, including monitoring the fighters vitals. The fighter can also be removed from the bout if it is considered to be too risky if the fighter is allowed to continue cutting weight, which is apparently what happened in Burns’ case.
Dern wasn't far off that 8% at the weigh-ins let alone fight week.
116 / 100 x 8 = 9.28
She has nice legs.

Vitor was a former HW and roider, but I agree justice was served, I just wasn't happy about who was serving it.
30% ... so 8.3k if Dern is on 25k show again
I'm glad the fight is still happening and props to ABC for taking it, but I kind of think there should be a rule that if someone misses weight by 5lbs or more, the fight is automatically called off, because that's just ridiculous.
In this instance, I don't think it's going to be that big a deal for ABC because Dern's extra weight looks to be more fat than anything else. But remember Rumble Johnson missed weight by 6lbs vs Yoshida and when they entered the cage it looked like a 2 weight division difference between the two, and it ended up being a dangerous massacre.

"If (Dern had weighed in at) the next division, we wouldn’t allow the fight. She was 123, so she barely made it (under flyweight).”
Not a bad policy imo and the guy didn't sound like he was bullshitting.
Plus it's not like it's the main event and they would lose a lot of money if the fight was canceled.

According to the CABMMA guy, they wouldn't have allowed the fight to happen if Dern had been 9 pounds over.
I agree 5 pounds should be the maximum but the logic behind allowing this fight isn't horrible.

She missed by like 19 pounds, and Sakakibara canceled the fight.
And Japanese MMA isn't even regulated lol

Mayhem missed weight by 24lbs. Can't remember if it still happened though.
Just found it.
Fight was scrapped.
'Mayhem' Miller misses weight by 24 pounds
so much consistency shown by these commissions lol
the fight should've been in doubt before fight week according to the 8% rule that other commission used for Burns vs Mercier, she was only 1.28lbs away from being over that at the weigh-ins (as I mentioned earlier) which is beyond ridiculous. If we're using that 8% just for weigh-ins then their statement would be correct I guess.
Jon Macafee style
Gonna stay out of this one. But yes, this case of her with that accent is highly suspect. Maybe that is how she prefers to talk. It's definitely a choice.
Arianny helwani style
I know a few people of Russian decent who were born in the states, and grew up here that have an accent because Russian was spoke exclusively in their house. It's definitely possible to develope an accent if you grow up like that.
