Still, UFC 213 is a solid card with two compelling title fights and a marquee Heavyweight clash. I'm looking forward to it.
Prelims kick off Saturday night on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm.
The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm. Enjoy!

So she either got messed up by the drastic weight cut and didn't want to risk losing her belt in the cage or she regained too much and would miss re-weigh-in (something that type of weight cutting isn't tailored for and is pretty new, maybe she even forgot about it or didn't account for regaining as much as she did) and lose her belt outside the cage.
According to Dana (but who can believe that clown-shoes goof at this point), she was medically cleared to fight twice (the day before weigh ins and on fight day) and the second time she said she doesn't want to fight because she's feeling ill. If that's the case (I'm not calling it because "Dana said so" means nothing), I'm pretty sure she sneaked out of losing her belt on the commission's table.
Regardless, I think fighters need to really re-think starting being professionals and fighting in their appropriate weight classes. The game has changed and will keep doing so. Old school weight cuts and PED cycles just aren't sustainable or reliable enough anymore. If you want to be champ (and stay champ), you can't Hendricks your way through it.
