If it winds up being Bellator's last show, it is the most Bellator exit possible to have 4 advertised title fights with half of them blown up days before

Apparently Bader had a late replacement lined up but Viacom refused to pay for it to happen.

An update on this, she got another hour to make weight and used the curtain on her second attempt, weighing in the second time at 128.2. Those of you paying attention might notice that's actually bigger than the first number. I love this dumb loving sport.

ONE Fight Night 15 - Friday 8PM ET, Amazon Prime

ONE Championship is back at the hallowed grounds of the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for another night of action. Tawanchai P.K. Saenchai takes on Jo Nattawut in a kickboxing bout. Mikey Muscumeci is gonna do the Man-Grab in a grappling bout against Shinya Aoki. Timofey “Tim Nasty” Nastyukhin faces Lipeng Zhang, and in the main event, former champ Thanh Le faces Ilya Freymanov for the Interim Lightweight title.

This should be a really good card with a lot of fun fights. Watch it!

Yeah I'd love to hear what actually happened there, was there a "towel trick" on the first attempt or something along those lines? Did she just say gently caress it and start rehydrating between attempts knowing she's not gonna make it regardless? :shrug:

I want to say I've heard of it happening before, but only in miniscule amounts (.1-.3 lbs). Almost 2 full pounds is :psyduck:

I think skip the UFC prelims, the main card was alright. I didn't see much on the Bellator card that got my attention but maybe that was just me.

Hey, remember how nice it was that Derrick Lewis got a really cool win and we were happy about it and kind of sort of wanted him to retire before someone else made him look terrible again?

Conor's bizarre delay in reentering the testing pool despite supposedly wanting to fight in December definitely has nothing to do with him waiting until he tests clean using private testing, yup, couldn't be.

Would be funny though if he was too cheap to spend on the good stuff and USADA somehow catches him anyway.

Nah, there's orgs for that if you want it, KSW if you want to fight in Europe, RIZIN if you wanna fight in Asia and basically any regional org if you wanna fight in the US (CFFC or whatever). Also UFC fighters are underpaid as it is, it would be even more pronounced if they all had to afford a bunch of gear.

gently caress if that is true, really sucks for Charles. Really looking forward to their rematch

Also, Volk is a madman if he is taking this on 2 weeks notice. Especially with what he had surgery back in July on his shoulder

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
volk / islam 2 would be a fascinating fight. it would be a real insight into their ability to adapt after 25 minutes of data and i'd watch the gently caress out of it.

Dana just confirmed it in the DWCS postfight presser. Charles is out, Volk is in. Oh, and Costa vs Chimaev might not happen too, depending on Costa's surgery.
