I honestly believe the UFC heard the fans and were aware that people were disappointed with this “PPV” so they created this entire propaganda to change the main even up in fear of how bad the PPVs were going to be, that’s my theory to all of this madness. I’ve never seen this much controversy. Plus like I said chimaev seemed to have known something when weighing in, shrugs like “well would you look at that I missed weight guys” like the body language of someone trying to prank you

That's a good point Leech cut the weight Droid scored a 180 catch so again not fair, however LI is supposedly a big welt.
Also love the idea of Bobby lobotomizing Kazm we will never hear of him again fake as gangster indeed!

Holland saying he'd cut Khamzat's beard backstage yesterday wasn't actually a threat, he knew Khamzat wasn't going to make weight. Good guy Kevin Holland.

@Fremen

Come on man

The guy is a terrible athlete and says nothing but "I SMASH" like a caveman and he simply doesn't care about anyone but himself and has quite an ego. He simply has no care for the event, for anyone but himself.

Let me explain this to your JR

Missing weight is a huge disrespect to your opponent who trained and made weight, but a disrespect to the sport and the other fighters.

If you do not realize how bad it is to miss weight by 8 pounds you are a ******** rock. This isn't a game, this isn't smile and laugh, you didn't do your job and missed weight by a massive 8 pounds and smiled and said "not that bad" about it.

This puts a lot of people in a bad place, he has created a ****storm we'll call it. No remorse for his actions at all, none. If i had to ******* explain that to you I severely and sad. You do not act like he did after missing weight, how anyone could be a fan after that baffles me.

Take into account that this is the main event, you say you're the best, you're gonna smash anyone at 170 or 185, but you can't make weight? You laugh about it and smile? I don't think you understand how much of a **** up this is and what Khamzat has done.

Should they really change matchups just because Khamzat is unprofiinal  ????. Those guys train for they’re Current opponent, not they’re new opponent, is it really fair

I’m not complaining because the fights are betters, but is it fair to everyone else who did they’re job
