Just a placeholder to remind folks who want to watch the weigh-ins of when and where they can see them, and let people who can’t know that we’ll be posting the results live.

But once you’ve updated it won’t show up in my feeds again! I’ll never get back to see the weights! The world will end! All those pics of the weigh-ins that end up in the comments – it’s like they’ll never have happened!

but he was fighting a lot of other guys who should have been LHW (Andy being one)

WHY THE HELL IS KONGO LIKE 10 POUNDS LIGHTER?

I was wondering like that too, doesn't he usually come in around 250?

240-245, Which is about ideal for him IMO.

If 230 is a new trend I give him no chance against the top wrestlers.

It could be...
that he wants to be a bit lighter on his feet against a guy who is not going to shoot on him at any point.

He must have overcut, because the second he went off stage he started chugging Gatorade

Anderson
nearly backed Leites off the stage. Good thing Thales looked back.

Silva lost to Okami in ROTR in the 175lbs torney, he might could make WW.

I seriously wonder...
if they had a bad scale during the cut. Like while checking if they had a scale that was weighing heavy it could lead to an over cut. I’ve seen it before in wrestling.

It also hqppens in boxing, you’re dehydrated and weak. Oscar did it against Pacman
by missmanners on Apr 17, 2009 6:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah...
when you’re older it’s harder to bounce back. I think Silva should be able to rehydrate in over 24 hours.

Anderson looks small
Anderson Silva (182 lbs.)
Anybody got a line on why a fighter of Anderson’s stature would come in so far below weight? The photo of him scares me..
