I agree with Slack, it is quite hilarious to read about all those “Fat” joke and comments.

I’ve seen the weight in, AJ is not fat at all. Actually the man is ripped.

The fact is more that he should be fighting at Light heavyweight.

The fact is most fighters want’s to bash their opponents, but none of them wish to get their rear end handed to them, brutally.

Do to others, what you don’t want being done to you.

Easy fix, drop weight and go fight a lighter category. Some succeed, some failed.

The game is simple, make the weight in the class you’re in.

If you let them fight this way, you might as well do it no weight class, or less >title< class. remove the "middle".

An eleven pound difference is NOT an honest mistake or just the kind of screw up that happens. Eleven pounds is either planned or he just did not give a s***.

Imagine what would have happened if that had been one of the Diaz brothers missing by that much. I think this is a mistake for Belfort. Johnson may have a huge energy and strength advantage as a result and why on Earth did Dana not even look surprised. No one was surprised. This was planned. WTF?!?

You guys sound like women, so he’s over weight, this stuff happens that’s why they have weigh ins! Rumble apparently isn’t taking this fight seriously, or he just wasn’t motivated, maybe he’s just about done with the fighting in his mind, whatever the case everyone is entitled to a screw up here and there, hell Vitor during his dominate UFC day was on steriods, nobody is perfect especially Rumble Johnson, Vitor will win and get another shot at getting knocked out! Aldo and Mendes is the fiht anyway, an over the hill fighter like Vitor against a young gun like Rumble this fight was only made as stepping stone for Rumble, however it may be Rumble that gets stepped on, big deal who cares about the out come of this fight! Rumble isn’t ready for the middleweight division and Vitor is past his prime!

This is the 3rd time now that dude has been overweight. Dana is in a tough spot because Rumble is talented and generally goes in to finish guys. But at the same time, Dana does not tolerate dudes coming in to the weigh-ins over, like they didn’t prepare to put on a show. Should still be a good fight. Maybe Rumble drove the porcelain bus after eating something in Brazil and then overhydrated to compensate?

I gotta say: i really hope belfort can pull this one out. i think johnson could pose some serious problems in this fight (the size only amplifies the issue of wrestling; belfort can be shut down by high quality wrestling [couture, ortiz...])
