    He was over championship fight 155.2lbs. But I doubt the UFC would give Al a shot at a title they didn't even give him a sign with his name on it yesterday.

    I would actually prefer if they cancelled Khabib from fighting tomorrow and stuck him on against Max sooner.

    I had Felder in my head for some reason when I was typing that, who did hit 155.

    Iaquinta, didn't miss weight though, he missed championship weight, by .2 pounds. He could go take a dump and make that. Or weigh in nekked if he didn't already

    The comission wouldnt let him weigh in again - he didn't do a naked weigh in the first time as he had no need and then wasn't allow to weigh in the second time without his boxers.

    We all make mistakes, I could have worded my own post better with regards to championship weight but no need be so snarky about it

    A pity, suppose he didn't have any need to whip the boxers off as he was within the limit or a normal fight.

    Tis all madness anyway

    So there's a chance that Conor will become the undisputed champ by the end of the weekend?

    Edit: has Tony been stripped?

    Oh yeah, the NYAC have been involved in stopping Max, Al Iquinta and Paul Felder stepping in while Pettis asked for a ball of cash and the UFC offered less and he said no thanks.

    Watching the weigh-in stream. Has any of the fighters actually weighed in yet, or are they all waiting on the Khabib replacement negotiations?

    Al Iquinta had weighed in earlier at 155.2 so .2 over chanpionship weight. NYAC wouldnt let him weigh in a second time, first time was with boxers as he didnt need to lose the .2. Paul Felder was on weight but the NYAC said he isnt ranked high enough so they wouldnt let him fight Khabib.

    All the fighters weighed in this morning apart from Holloway, and obviously he never ended up at all.

    All the fighters on the card weighed in earlier today. The only one left was Max and then the NYAC pulled him and said he wasnt medicaly fit.

    Al is .2lbs (90 grams!) over but ranked. If he was allowed make the reduced weight he'd be fighting for a championship.
