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)They wouldn't attempt a fighter to make the cut as he was too far out fight week iirc
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.

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
That's one of those weird subjective rules where it varies state to state/commission to commission. NY definitely has the 5lb rule.I'm actually curious if the commission will even let the fight go ahead, don't the fighters have to be within 5 lbs of each other? (excluding HW's)
I know it's been an issue in the past but I just can't remember which fight it affected. Basically the other fighter had restrictions on the weight he could rehydrate too. I'm thinking Jim Miller vs Thiago Alves......
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.Bwaha then the ref kept standing it up until Vitor won. Good times
Gilbert Burns and Olivier Aubin-Mercier ?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
She has nice legs.
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.
Vitor was a former HW and roider, but I agree justice was served, I just wasn't happy about who was serving it.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.
This sounds like the oneGilbert 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
30% ... so 8.3k if Dern is on 25k show again
Didn't Gabi garcia miss weight by a load vs that old lady not long back? I forget how much it was."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 or 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'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.
She missed by like 19 pounds, and Sakakibara canceled the fight.Didn't Gabi garcia miss weight by a load vs that old lady not long back? I forget how much it was.

What's the biggest weight miss that a fight went ahead?
@MMAHAWK
so much consistency shown by these commissions lol"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).”

Jon Macafee styleI lived in Arizona and California, if someone accused me of talking Brazilian I'd shit in thier mouf
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.
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.She was born and grew up in Arizona and now lives full-time in California.
I've met tons of people from Arizona and California.
None of them talk like that.
