david carmichael posted:You could just start your water/sodium cycling 9 hours earlier, or arrive in Vegas 9 hours earlier, or start your camp 9 hours earlier. It's not that big of a deal, and lots of people missed weight before early weigh ins. Is there evidence to suggest a higher proportion of fighters are missing weight now, and can we decouple that from usada's increased controls? As compiled by MMAJunkie‘s Mike Bohn, 21 UFC fighters have missed weight since the early weigh-ins were instituted. By comparison, in the first half of the year just one fighter missed weight under the system previously in place. It has caused an issue, but I'm not sure if that's the new norm. A lot of those guys will probably adjust for 2017. The first time messed with quite a few guy's weight cuts though Agreed with the first part about starting your cut 9 hours earlier, but things like arriving at Vegas 9 hours earlier might be out of the fighter's hands. I'm not sure how much involvement UFC fighters have when it comes to arranging when their flights depart.

Donna, from the travel department, books every flight to arrive at the same time always and on the same day. Which is convenient, because los Vegas,where all fights happen, only has one arrival time.

I.N.R.I posted:Good news ... lando is fighting in ufc 209 I think that's why people are suggesting it, Lando is already on the card and has already made weight. The UFC might be more interested in Michael Johnson though because he's the last one to beat Tony Ferguson. I think the title fight will be totally cancelled though, a lot of guys say they want to step in on Twitter

I'm not sure that it's that much worse now, we just happened into a very lucky 2016 where all the good fights actually happened and injuries didn't really play as big of a role as they did in 2014 or something.

Novum posted:In an interview that someone posted Hunt said that his family is who suffers if he doesn't fight and get paid. I think that's a good enough reason to both take a fight and complain about steroid cheaters. I'm still amazed that anyone thought Lesnar wasn't juiced to the gills. It was obvious in his WWE stuff, doing 10 minute worked matches and he was gassing halfway through while basically just throwing germans.

willie_dee posted:The dude has a legit point about fighting people who constantly test positive, including the downright corrupt treatment Brock got in being allowed to compete with a no testing window before hand clause because he signed last minute special circumstances rule. I would be mad as hell as well if I went through some of the wars that he has done only to find out they would of been walk in the parks had the other guy not been cheating and the UFC had not done enough to protect me from that unfair brain damage. Overeem was blatantly roiding, so Mark Hunt has a legit beef. Everyone Hunt fought before Lesnar was pre-USADA. So why does he keep bringing them up? I understand the frustration over the Lesnar situation; but they NEEDED a big name on that card because Jon Jones is a complete gently caress up so they found a loophole. I get why he has a beef, but CONSTANTLY bringing up the point and being a straight up whiny bitch every interview got old a long time ago to the point of annoyance.

Honestly aren't the benefits of early weigh ins outweighing any like 9 hour bullshit difference

So according to that article someone posted, the hospitalisation wasn't related to the weight cut? I guess they saw him in there and went "regardless of these raging hemorrhoids he needs treated, this man is dangerously dehydrated, better IV him up!"

Khabib had to recuse himself from the fight due to possible connections to Russia.
