The last 10 fighters to miss weight and their results

Is missing weight an advantage or disadvantage? Its the age old question. Except not really. Do fighters that miss weight have an added edge because they are clearly going to be bigger and probably stronger than their opponent? Or are they going to be tired from trying to make the cut and therefore gas early? Well I've done some research (I wish I spend as much time researching my uni work as I do UFC) and here are my findings:
| Fighter | Event | Missed weight by | Fought | Result | Method | TIME/ROUND |
| Dennis Hallman | 141 | 3.8 | Makdessi | W | S | 2.58/1 |
| Shamar Bailey | 139 | 3 | Castillo | L | KO | 4.52/1 |
| Nick Pace | 139 | 6 | Torres | L | D | 5.00/3 |
| Tyson Griffin | 137 | 3 | Palaszewski | L | KO | 2.45/1 |
| Byron Bloodworth | Live 5 | 3 | Easton | L | KO | 4.52/2 |
| Ivan Menjivar | 133 | 2 | Pace | W | D | 5.00/3 |
| Nick Pace | TUF 12 Finale | 3 | Campuzano | W | S | 4.32/2 |
| Efrain Escudero | Fight Night 22 | 4 | Oliveria | L | S | 2.25/3 |
| Thiago Alves | 117 | 1.5 | Fitch | L | D | 5.00/3 |
I was going to go back further than this but I got bored and sleepy. Then bored again. Interesting that only 3 of the `0 guys actually won their fights. Of the 7 that lost 3 got KO'd and 3 were submitted. Only 3 guys in total went the distance after missing weight. Nick Pace has been involved in 3 missed weights out of the last 10. So he sucks.

This would be a lot better if you just focused on Rumble.
Gimme!

So for Rumble, it seems, missing weight is worth it.
If he beats Belfort, certainly.

I knew this happened but something about seeing it in this context, compared to all the other cases of missed weight, made me guffaw. Johnson is an ass.
Yoshida must have been pretty fucking choked.
The thing about this fight is Johnson’s path to victory is not to bully the smaller man on the feet, it’s to bully him on the ground. Certainly if he stands with Belfort he’s going to get stiffened up. I would think he knows this and will fight accordingly, thus making it more likely for him to tire and be finished in the second or third round.

I’ve got Vitor KO in the second. It goes against all logic

Nice one
Probably not just missing weight but maybe a sign that missing weight shows your un-professional and have bad preparation, therefore maybe didn’t have as good a camp as you should have.

yeah his camp should be telling him that he shouldn’t be cutting 30+ pounds on the day of the weigh ins.
