UFC 142 Rio: Anthony Johnson Misses Weight By 11 Pounds, Will Fight With Stipulation

During the Fuel TV telecast of the UFC 142 weigh-ins Friday, UFC President Dana White announced that Anthony Johnson would not make weight.
However, opponent Vitor Belfort agreed to continue with the bout if Johnson is not over 205 pounds before he enters the cage Saturday. Johnson weighed in at 197, 11 pounds over the 186-pound limit and will forfeit 20% of his fight purse. As of a conference call just over a week ago, Johnson said he was 218 pounds.
This was to be Johnson's UFC debut at middleweight after a long run at welterweight which Johnson struggled to make the cut at. At UFC 76, Johnson faced Rich Clementi and missed weight by 6.5 pounds. At UFC 104, he missed weight by six pounds in a bout against Yoshiyuki Yoshida.
The 27-year-old was actually tabbed for the sixth season of The Ultimate Fighter but then-manager Ken Pavia was concerned about his ability to make 170 pounds potentially three times in six weeks.
On the Fuel broadcast, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones called Johnson "extremely unprofessional." White's full comment from Fuel TV is below:
"Rumble" Johnson is not on weight today and when I say he's not on weight, he's way off weight. This is not the first time this has happened with Johnson. He moved up to 185 pounds, so this wouldn't happen to him at 170 pounds and here we are in the same position. Belfort came in like a professional on weight and Anthony Johnson comes in as a total unprofessional...way overweight.
The stipulation is Vitor does not want him to weigh more than 205 pounds by tomorrow, so we will see how this plays out. He'll weigh in today and have to weigh in tomorrow. As a fighter, you are a professional. You are contracted to come in at a certain weight."

This guy must either have a piss poor diet, an method of cutting weight that doesn’t suit him, or his body is just not meant to fight under 205. This guy needs Mike Dolce in his life.

You can hear the whole crowd chanting the same thing during Paulo Thiago's last fight.
"Someone is WRONG on the internet. What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!"
-Randall Munroe
Actually not the same chant.
For the non-brazillians, the chant is “Vai morrer!”, basicly meaning “You´re gonna die” (can be taken as “you´re gonna go down”).
For Paulo Thiago, the chant was “Faca na Caveira”, translating to “Knife in the skull” or simply “Caveira” (Skull), referring to the symbol of BOPE.
"I´ve seen the future of the whole fucking thing and it´s Big Man Clarence Clemons!"

No fucking wonder people’s eyes were popping out at how big he was in the video with Hashad. I hope Vitor decapitates him, honestly.

If Rumble loses, he could be cut
Rumble is an exciting up-and-comer, but I know that Dana and Zuffa brass are not fans of fighters who miss weight, and Rumble missed weight by a lot here. Vitor looks good here because he is a big Middleweight himself, but made weight and is still willing to fight Rumble. Even if Vitor loses (but I have Vitor winning this one), there is always that asterik that he was fighting someone that was pretty much a weight class above him.

He should never have been fighting at 170. It was always ridiculous. Apparently he should be at 205.
I dunno, anyone who can make weight should be allowed to fight at that weight class. More weight =/= better performance. Ideally, I’d love same-day weigh-ins, though.

Got it. I can also agree with you that same day weigh-ins would be ideal, but it would be tough to police guys who tried to cut anyway. I see it translating into a lot of unhealthy attempts at cheating the system, and a lot of cancelled bouts at the last minute as a result.
I wouldn’t mind if guys tried to cut huge amounts of weight for a same-day weigh-in, as long as they made weight. You might be right in that it would lead to more cancelled bouts but then again, don’t you think it would sort itself out gradually? Let the fine for missing weight be 10% (with a 20% minimum) for every pound you’re overweight to discourage guys like Rumble from coming in 10+ lbs over.

If you wear your glasses, they become a problem when the ladies rub their titties in your face, as they like to do from time to time. But if you forgo the glasses, then you are unable to see the tittles clearly from a distance. so after laying out the problem, my friend says to me, “How do you feel about a monocle?”

They should not let him fight
This is extremely unprofessional, and unfair as hell to Vitor. What’s the point of having weigh-ins if you can come in 11 pounds over and still get to fight? At some point they have to stop this not making weight nonsense, it’s just too much. They should cancel the fight, fire his ass, and sue him for loss of revenue or something like that. Go full out.

If he has to weigh in at 205 right before the fight, they should be pretty even, plus Rumble will likely be a bit dehydrated just to get down to 205.
I asked Luke about this on Twitter. His understanding is that he has to weigh 205lbs in the morning tomorrow, not right before the fight.
Dana said
The stipulation is, Vitor does not want him to weigh more than 205 pounds by tomorrow at like 2 o’clock in the afternoon

I wonder how badly he dehydrated himself making 197. If he can only put 8 pounds of fluid back in his body before fight time, won’t he be at increased risk for numerous horrible things? Ie. gassing out in the first minute, passing out during the walkout, getting KTFO’d real quick?

Transferring it over to an MMA chant is even less creative though and closer to lame, due to the nature of MMA.

Stupidity doesn't make people racist,
Chanting USA against American fighters because their ascribed racial differences from preconceived notions of what “Americans are supposed to look like” does. It definitely problematizes notions of abstract citizenship in the United States.
Obviously, there are plenty of fights where crowds chant USA at white non-US fighters as well. I’m just saying that the difference between US and Brazilian jingoism is that with Brazil you know it’s based on nationality, with USA chants, the racist foundation of the nation carry racial undertones that make things a bit more disconcerting.

Yes, focus on a small quote and dismiss things.
Don’t provide any counter-evidence of the validity of abstract citizenship and ignore the history of the United States being founded on colonizing “nature’s children,” the Atlantic Slave Trade, exploited immigrant labor, and imperialism. Forget about the current issues of exploited migrant workers, islamaphobia, and how a history of inequality has shaped current class/race relations. I was responding to Chris Groves on why I believed the USA chants differed from Brazilian nationalist chants . I’m okay with people arguing against me, but to dismiss it without any critical analysis or thought? Go back to Mania.

Obviously much of Western Europe profited from the Atlantic Slave Trade,
exploited labor and imperialism and Brazil has had its own problems with colonialism/racism/exploitation. But other nations are irrelevant in this argument. And, although I’m no expert, it’s reasonable to make the conclusion that Brazil’ situation would follow a similar trajectory 18th century New Mexico. Ultimately this is about why I find the USA chants more disconcerting than the still problematic Brazilian nationalist chants.

There has to be some sort of explanation. He misses weight by more than anyone in UFC history just as he’s moving up in weight and can weigh 15 extra pounds than he usually does for fights. It’s also only been 10 weeks since he made 170. That last one is the one that really sticks out to me.

He is so fucked!
He had to have at least TRIED to make weight, so he’s probably already dehydrated at his current 197
If he has to only put on 8lbs between now and fight time he is incredibly fucked. This sucks this fight will either not happen or he’ll die in the ring.
He’ll have to weigh in something like 12 hours before the fight, according to what DFW said.

Oh very good
DFW knows he’d have the first death in MMA if it were any closer than that to the event
wasn't he on UFC countdown to rio???
on UFC countdown: rio Anthony was being weighed by Rashad Evans on the scale and mike van arsdale was playing a joke on him by putting his foot on the scale, and Rashad tells him " what the hell man you are way over weight, how are you gonna make weight?"
Anthony calls him a Rashad a lair only to find out when he steps off the scale that mikes foot is on the scale.
But in reality mikes foot wasn’t on the scale, it was a tactic by blackzilians to make him look like he was gonna make wieght, but he wasn’t.
I guess this proves once and for all that you can't suppress a big, black Johnson.

from Kevin Iole's twitter:

Further @glennauthentic said @rumblejohnson was 191.5 when he awakened this morning and would have made 186 with no problems if not ill.
there had to be a reason for him missing weight by 12 pounds, even at WW he never missed by that much. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but it helps explain them

Sure
They’re rehydrating from 185 at the weigh-ins to 200+ at fight-night after all.
If he was 1.5 pds away from making weight three hrs. before the weigh-ins, I wonder though…they say he got “sick”. But now, after re-hydrating he’s fine and can fight? That “sickness” was probably the weight-cut. Meaning he basically did botch it, if only by over-excerting his body to the point he had to be given an IV.

I can guarantee you that Anthony Johnson will not be fighting in the UFC in his next fight or in the near term after tomorrow. This is the UFC, if you don’t have it in you to be at the professional level that we require, there’s other organizations to compete in.

Hmmm...
I’m not a Dr. nor a fighter, but I assume that cutting weight up until fight day (the morning of) will NOT be good for his energy.
I assume he’ll be pretty sapped when he enters the cage (IF he makes the 205lbs, of course!).
by Atomic Salmon on Jan 13, 2012 10:29 PM EST up reply actions
WTF
I am amazed. Now he needs to move up to 205.
Obviously he added extra bulk to move up when he already couldn’t cut to the previous weight.
If he loses he gets cut – pretty sure of that.
If he has to be 205 this morning he will be 215-220 by fight time? Jesus.
