Yesterday Luke Thomas mentioned doing something live for the weigh ins. I guess he got shitfaced and decided not to do it. He was drinking Jack & Coke on his last podcast yesterday. He was befuddled lol.

Guy at MMAJUNKIE saying Felder not being allowed to step in and fight Khabib because his ranking is too low for a championship fight - a ranking that is hardly better than arbitrary. Maybe UFC will start taking the rankings seriously.

Not sure if Pettis decided not to continue cutting weight or decided not to take the fight.

This is a clusterfrick.

I'm hearing that @Showtimepettis asked for a bigger payday, #UFC countered with less. Pettis declined

Looking at Luke Thomas' twitter. He's fricking pissed LOL

So Karen Bryant 'I'm hearing that @Showtimepettis asked for a bigger payday, #UFC countered with less. Pettis declined, @felderpaul gets the spot. Standing by for more info from my girl @vevyrodrigues in NYC... #UFC223' Luke retweets this and says 'I mean...'

Felder is ready but ranked too low.
Pettis wants to bend UFC over.

More from Luke:
"This...this is a nightmare. This is a total nightmare.

Things that sunk the #UFC223 main event:
- A black cable
- Terrible weight cut(s)
- UFC being cheap towards Pettis
- NY commission taking Chuckles the wacky morning radio DJ at 97.3 The Burn in Omaha's ranking of UFC fighters too literally

You can't write fiction this strange.

Remember a week ago everything was still intact?"

MMAJunkie now resorting to trying to read lips and body language of UFC staff in the back at the weigh in room.

shite show

quote:

Iaquinta weighed in at 155.2 lbs today at 9:16 am, so the two hour window for him to make 155.0 lbs has elapsed, so unless he was weighed elsewhere in an official capacity, he may not be an option to replace Holloway.

More riveting news.....the UFC camera guy was just called to the back to speak to production peeps. Speculation is that it's to alert him what sort of shots are needed for an upcoming announcement.

At this point I just hope they fish Conor out of jail and find a way to have him fight Khabib.

Just give the damn belt to Khabib. He's been the real LW champ for years.

Conor won't be arraigned prior to 2:15pm. I hope he managed to get counsel.

I've lost total interest in this card other than the chicks fighting.

Dana might as well make this a free fight on FS1
