Almost everyone makes weight for UFC 85. Bedlam might not have some of the biggest names but sometimes these types of fight cards produce the best shows.

if (is_feed()) { die(); }
Alves not making weight is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional.
the card isn’t that good but the last 2 fights make up for it.
couples pounds dont make any difference . thank you sir.
Dxman it does in MMA it is serious if it wasn’t nothing like this would ever happen. Also he is a proffesional fighter he should know that making the weight is extremely important.
its very unprofessional but not unacceptable
ya missing weight is bullshit, alves more than likely had to surrender a percentage of his purse to hughes.
Did Brandon Vera have to wear speedo’s? That was unneccesary especially as a heavyweight
I am so freakin’ excited anout 85 man… Being a Brit I’m looking forward to seeing Bisping’s fight… Good luck mate!!
David
It’s too bad that Chris Leben has to be stupid. I wanted to see him knock Bisping out. Instead we get Bisping vs. Day (I could care less). I want to see how Bisping fares against the best guys in the Middleweight division. They need to give him some quality opponents and quit trying to pad his record. Who knows, maybe Day can win.
P.S. I thought Andrei Arlovski was the “Pit Bull”, not Alves.
GSPfan and MAS have it exactly correct… these guys are professionals trying to validate the sport further etc. should NOT miss weight at all.. no excuses.. regardless how hard it is… its the path chosen deal with it or look like an idiot and be called one
lol ho cares if he gets on weighing naked atleast he make it right unlike alves lol
I think its a good card any real mma fan would know that Hughes, Alves, werdum, Vera, Bisping, Day, Davis, Swik, Marquardt, and Leites are all either a big name already or a known up and comer and if Hughes doesnt have a problem with Alves not making weight then nobody else should
This UFC card has no interesting fights. Dana White should have aired this on Spike because I believe the pay-per-view proceeds will be the lowest in history. I’m not a big Matt Hughes fan, but I wish him the best as he is a true professional; unlike Alves who can’t make weight for the biggest fight of his career.
Hey, What happen to Chris Leben anyway? Wasn’t he on this card?
michael bisping has become a real dick. i can’t wait til he gets his ass handed to him one day.
What’s the americans’ problem with speedos? As if that was so terrible…
yeah i agree with the person who said this card is full of big names in the UFC. anyway whats up with people talking about speedos? yeah it sucks alvez didnt make weight because if he wins no matter what people are going to say it wasnt a fair victory….
oh sorry and by the way…. since bisping is now a MW he is probably going to get a title match soon specially if he wins this fight… so i cant wait to see him getting destroyed by anderson silva. its gonna be a good fight..
Why is it that Dan Miragliotta will let James Thompson drop over 50 unanswered elbows on Kimbo and not stop the fight but he don’t let Vara weather the storm for 15sec. I think that cat is making side bets the fight comission needs to check in to that shit that dudes a joke.
