Missing weight, that’s not gangster move.

Always a medical issue 🤦🏻‍♂️! Punk move to miss weight by that much and come on scale smiling. He doesn’t deserve that fight. It’s cheating. Chimaev- holland .. Diaz- Ferguson .. they all get paid more other than chimaev https://t.co/jB8ZAKhW8Y

Fielder is a true fighter’s fighter. Always made weight, always came to throw down, and leave everything in the cage 🙌🏻 https://t.co/AauuvkBe6Q

Khamzat Chimaev fumbled the bag 💼. A -1200 favorite missing weight is unthinkable . With a big draw to build your name off … 🤯🤯🤯 #UFC279

Just trained with @DustinPoirier. He’s on weight and down to work with the @ufc. Even has wheels 🛩 on stand by. I say give the man a chance! #UFC279

Hey Mr. @BorrachinhaMMA,
Can you make with your Secret Juice 185 lbs by tomorrow?
I have a fight for you against a bon viveur fighter.
No memes needed.

Okay, so what happens next? 8lbs is a lot of weight. I’m pretty sure commission cuts the fight after 5lb over (not 100% on that). Did we just lose our headliner? #ufc279
