i'd much rather he cheat for 1.2pounds than have the entire fight cancelled.

though i'm not sure why this would be an issue since getting docked 20%(?) of the purse is usually what happens when fighters can't make weight.

What did he do? Throw up? >_>

He pushed down on the towel to appear lighter on the scale

So he leaned on the towel slightly? Why doesn't that disqualify him?

Uh, the UFC always lets fighters re-try their weight cut unless they aren't medically cleared to do so

The issue is that different states have different regulations around weight-cutting. I don't think the UFC internal weight cutting rules talk directly about how many times you can try to weigh in.

But NY does, and CA does. They just happen to be different rules:

but yeah that towel grabbing is pretty blatant.

He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.

it would change the title fight to a non-title fight, assuming anthony johnson still wanted to fight him

which he probably would

but it would not be a good look

I mean, I can confirm that it's very, very easy to add 1-2 pounds in a few minutes. Not unlikely that he can shed them in the same time.

Not for championship fights, they MUST make weight. Luckily it was in NY where by law they get a second chance. I'm fine with him using the old towel trick because 1.2 lbs is nothing at their weight, but surprised nobody live caught on.

It's not impossible at all, but considering the requirements they put around weight cutting in the UFC now its much less likely than it used to be. They've implemented pre-weigh in weight caps (no more than 8% off weight a week out from the fight) and banned post-weigh in IVs. Cormier is a guy who has always had problems with cutting weight (missed the olympics cuz he was too fat, and that was at a higher weight class). So Idk.

I watch the UFC pretty closely, or at least I used to, and I've never seen a rule that a fighter can only weigh in once and if they miss weight they're screwed. MMA was only legalized in NY like last year so I suspect this is more about NY than the UFC or MMA

Just saw the video. He does seem to be leaning on the towel in the second weigh in.

How much weight can leaning on a towel take off realistically?

a lot I would think, potentially

at least a pound

I mean, what he's basically doing is shifting his weight from being on the scales to being on the ground by channeling the force through the towel, into those guys who are holding it, and down to their feet. They're partially holding him up, if you assume he's actually leaning on the towel and not just grabbing it tightly

This? Why does this matter? Because he didn't make weight.
