Always Second Best?- UFC 274: Oliveria v Gaethje/ Thug Rose v Esparaza/ Chandler v Ferguson

[EarlyEarly]

I’m going to cry

 

[Legal]

When's the last time a fighter lost the title on the scale in the UFC? I know there've been a couple cases where a fighter was ineligible to win a vacant title recently, but I really can't think of a time a fighter just straight up blew a defense due to weight.

 

[Vilify]

One pound over allowance if it’s not a title fight, but if it’s a title fight you have to be on weight.

Well damn

if that was Vegas Bob Bennett would have called it 155

Tony pulls off a decision against Chandler.

Chandler went full neanderthal mode his last 2 fights. He ain't going for a takedown, all he does is swing for the fences now. Tony got wet blanketed by Dairush, and Olivera. Gaethje stopped him because he fought smart. Tony should not be a +300 underdog to sorry ass Chandler.

Do Bronx will walk down Gatheje and end it however he wants to.

Rose will have her hands filled here. Her takedown defense is still suspect. Zeili and Andrade were able to get takedowns. Esparza might be the best grappler she's fought since the 1st fight they had. I know Rose has evolved since that 1st fight but, don't change the fact her grappling ain't been tested in a while. Esparza a live dog or in deep trouble if she can't get a takedown.

Tony looks in great shape as well, I think he can handle chandlers initial onslaught and drown him

Let's hope

Wow. I've always wondered, how come they don't use digital scales now

 

[Roid Jones]

WTF this is wild

It's still pretty much the same shyt regardless of the outcome of the fight. Gaethje wins he's champ. If Oliveira wins he's basically fighting the number 1 contender for the vacant title next fight. I hope Charles isn't super drained.

Also, is Charles pay and ppv points(if he even got it) get affected with him being stripped?

 

[Curtis Nightfish]

How does this clown miss weight by 1/2 pound? Amateur shyt

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Coming in overweight as champion is as unprofessional as it gets

 

[Ahadi]

Rose fights every week lol

 

[El Guapo]

Also, is Charles pay and ppv points(if he even got it) get affected with him being stripped?

Anytime a fighter misses weight in UFC, a percentage of their purse goes to their opponent (if the opponent makes weight). I can't remember, but I think it's like 15% to 20%. I don't know if PPV points get affected.

digital scales have a big margin of error, they aint exacy
