Maybe cause it only has 2 big fights and Chad Mendes isn't very popular? That's my guess. I haven't really heard/read too much hype about the card.Scarlet_Buckeye;1044997 wrote:Why?

No big name for the casuals outside of Belfort.Scarlet_Buckeye;1044997 wrote:Why?

I think it was UFC 144 or like Raw said, UFC on Fox 2.Scarlet_Buckeye;1046651 wrote:I thought everyone was RAVING about 142 awhile ago. Perhaps I'm getting this one confused with another one (and NO I'm not thinking of 141: Lesnar vs Overeem).
UFC 144 is pretty stacked. Must have been that.The_Crosby_Show;1046881 wrote:I think it was UFC 144
damn...how?robj55;1051386 wrote:Rumble comes in at 197 lol
3rd time he's missed weight?robj55;1051408 wrote:He went up 15 pounds in weight class and still missed weight by 11 pounds, smh lol. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets cut win or lose. Good thing this fight is in Brazil because I don't think any Athletic Commission in the US would allow the fight to take place. We will see if he makes 205 by 2:00 tomorrow. Totally unprofessional though and Dana is pissed.
So he came in weighing 197 and he has to re-weigh in tomorrow under 205?robj55;1051408 wrote:He went up 15 pounds in weight class and still missed weight by 11 pounds, smh lol.

Makes a lot of sense actually, he couldn't cut the weight naturally and had to use this to shed all those lbs and now it's able to be tested and he didn't want to risk it.jmog;1051415 wrote:Rumor has it that stanozolol, a well known weight cutting drug (helps lose water weight without losing muscle) is why he couldn't make weight.
Basically without "fighter bashing" or calling him out, the rumor has it that he had always used this drug to make 170 even though it was illegal. The drug has just recently been able to be tested (they caught Cyborg, the woman recently) and so rumor has it that Rumble stopped using it and couldn't even cut to 185, let alone 170.
Again, huge rumor, just might explain it.
Yes these are the stipulations, I wonder if he will put weight back on today and attempt a second cut to 205 or just try and keep the weight low til tomorrow, interesting. Either way it will affect his performance undoubtedly.jmog;1051417 wrote:So he came in weighing 197 and he has to re-weigh in tomorrow under 205?
Not a bad idea by Belfort, make him stay semi-dehydrated.
