What a wack-ass day for weigh-ins. 

Not only did DC miss weight by 1.2 lbs on his first attempt, but his second attempt (less than three minutes later) saw him shed that weight in record time. But ... our title fight's on ... so, cool?

Also, main card debutant Pearl Gonzalez was removed from the card after weighing in because the NYSAC decided she shouldn't be allowed to compete with breast implants. They reversed that decision hours later, accomplishing nothing but humiliating Gonzalez in the process. 

Ridiculous, but we're a go for Saturday night with the rare UFC event of 2017 with NO cancellations. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET before shifting to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm.

Where can I put $100 down that Rumble will be fighting in the UFC within 18 months of this "retirement."

@Gregory I don't know, that sounded like he really knows what he wants to do from now on...

EDIT: I think I like DC precisely because everyone else seems to hate him for some reason. Lol.

Rumble was clearly distracted. His retirement plan obviously affected his preparation.

@Bigj383 That Cummins Bronson remark is funny,I thought the same thing right from the tale of the tape.Hardy had a phenomenal performance in that,that guy is not just extremely diverse,that roll was just perfect for former crackhead and hoodlum.Idk why it reminded me of that,I guess some physical similarities,not just the same stash style.The real guy was quite different,but we don't always picture that after a flick like Bronson.Not different different,but you know what I mean,seeing Cummins reminded me of Hardy as Bronson,but wouldn't remind me of the man himself even though Hardy did such a good job.
