So.. guess how many pounds Anthony Johnson missed weight by after moving up to MW today.

LOL!
did you guess 11 lbs?
...wat
197 lbs lol. Vitor says that if AJ weighs over 205lbs on fight day he won't fight him. I think he would fight him either way but it's a way to force him from not bulking back up to the 300 lbs he probably is fully hydrated.
I lost big time lol. I guessed 6 to my buddies.
So it looks like they will both weigh in tomorrow afternoon at a '205 lb' limit which AJ will have to make or else the fight is off. It still gives him a few hours to put weight back on since I think they fight real late later that night brazil time.
Honestly, how is this even possible? He didn't even make Franklinweight.

I'm going to assume it's because he's fighting at MW he came in ridiculously overweight. He probably had no sense of urgency to cut weight and figured he could get away with more shit in his diet.
Who knows how reliable it is but his manager is saying that he woke up today at 191.5, got sick, and the UFC doctor gave him a bunch of fluids for the sickness adding to his weight. Maybe he ate some dirty brazilian food and got food poisoning but if his 'sickness' was related to the weight cut it wouldn't surprise me too much.
Some doctor gave him 11 pounds of fluids within a 24 hour period? Right lol.
Nigga's just gotta put down that fork.
rofl how did this guy ever make 170
How the fuck do you miss by 11 pounds?
Three words.

WHO YA GOT
Mendes (^______________^)
Belfort
Palhares
Silva
Barboza
Sadly I think Mendes will win too... Who I've hated since his fight with Swanson.
Otherwise, yeah. Brazilians are pretty much locks at this point.
I think Mendes has a good shot but this is the kind of fight where I think whoever wins does it convincingly. If Mendes can't get TD's reliably it won't look good but if he can I don't think Aldo can threaten from bottom. Before this weight thing I was slightly favouring AJ to win, possibly just wrestle fucking Belfort or putting the fear of god into him and making Belfort mentally break but now I think Belfort can take it. AJ doesn't like to get hit much, even Koscheck did well standing so Belfort needs to land some shots early and then it should be his. The rest of the picks are the same.
I'm going with Mendes, I'm not sure why. Belfort is probably going to pick apart AJ especially now that he's dealing with the fatigue and stress of missing weight and having to receive fluids. That's not exactly a good sign going into a fight. Aside from that I'm going with Etim, Silva, Palhares.
