So Rockhold is saying that he may be moving up a weight class in the immediate future, and Romero has to lose three and a half pounds within a couple hours or else I assume even if he wins the fight he can't win the interim interim title (I know it's not really the interim x2 title).

 

Perhaps middleweight just is destined to not have a champion.

He came in at 187.7 pounds on his second pounds and officially missed weight.  

How does an Olympic silver medalist miss weight for the biggest fight of his career? Fucking unprofessional tool-bag.

Maybe Australia has no hot water or the wrong bathtubs like last week.
