August 28, 201412 yr Author Interested in:- How Barao comes back and if the weight cut really had an effect on how the first fight went down- If Tony Ferguson can get Castillo out of there and actually be more than random TUF winner #35- I guess the same above for Ferreira (but replaced TUF with Legacy FC champ) since everyone semi decent has stopped Nijem brutally- If Birchak upsets Soto like a lot of people believe he can- Cejudo just because 125 needs him to be goodThe rest of the card has catastrophe potential (especially Larkin vs. Brunson, Potts vs. Hamilton, & CrankDatBethe vs. Four Horsewoman jobber). I'm indifferent on the Damon Jackson fight because it's on extremely late notice and a weight class up.
August 29, 201412 yr Just when you thought this PPV couldn't suck enough, Barao is out of the title fight tomorrow. Apparently cutting weight was just too much as he passed out before the weigh in
August 29, 201412 yr Interested in: - How Barao comes back and if the weight cut really had an effect on how the first fight went down Well, I think you got your answer...
August 29, 201412 yr Henry Cejudo is also out due to medical reasons. Fight with Jorgensen is scrapped.
August 29, 201412 yr Author Bloody Elbow @BloodyElbow 56s The documented problems of Nova Uniao & weight cutting continue: Jose Aldo Ronny Markes Claudia Gadelha Leandro Souza (who died) Renan Barao
August 29, 201412 yr Barao's a former champion and he's made this weight 9 times in ZUFFA without a problem before. Seems more like an issue with Nova Uniao and not using common sense with their fighters weight cuts.
August 29, 201412 yr Author Imagine if Eddie Mustafa Muhammad didn't screw up 31 years ago and made weight against Michael Spinks. MMA probably never would've adopted the weigh-in 24 hours before if boxing didn't do it.
August 29, 201412 yr Author Guilherme Cruz @guicruzzz 3m Barao felt dizzy, hit his head against the wall and passed out when leaving the tub in his hotel room, per Nova Uniao http://t.co/9SMheHGG1M
August 30, 201412 yr Author Ivan Raupp @IvanRaupp 6s Just to clarify: Renan Barao's camp told me here at the hotel in Sacramento that he actually didn't hit his head when he passed out.
August 30, 201412 yr Imagine if Eddie Mustafa Muhammad didn't screw up 31 years ago and made weight against Michael Spinks. MMA probably never would've adopted the weigh-in 24 hours before if boxing didn't do it. The weigh in 24 hours rule has probably done more bad than good in the long run though. The risk/ reward of weight cutting with 24 hours to recover makes fighting in a massively underweight division an attractive proposition. If it was six or twelve hours, it's a much greater risk for a much lesser reward. But you'd also have a lot of fights getting cancelled the day of the show when people couldn't make weight, so swings and roundabouts, really.
August 31, 201412 yr To add to the complete mess of a PPV, apparently a UFC production truck caught on fire last night. You know things are bad when Dana is calling out Meltzer in the prelims. Although Dana's logic that people should still spend $45 - $60 for a PPV because guys have been trained like animals for months and month is just laughable. Maybe you should pay them better if you are that worried about guys getting compensated better for their hard work.
August 31, 201412 yr this is the first ufc ppv event i haven't watched live since ufc 67. and i've got nothing else going on tonight. i'm just not interested. i hope that sends a message. although i'm sure it won't.
August 31, 201412 yr That was expected, except not in that length. Joe Soto was such a huge underdog that they were pushing any strikes he landed in highlights in between the rounds. Bethe is 2-0 against 4 Hoursewomen and there's slim to no chance she'll fight Marina Shafir and she has the best set of wins at WMMA 135 lbs. in the UFC so she should get the next shot at the title against Ronda.
