New Fight Added

According to the Sherdog Matches to Make article, Ricardo Lamas is fighting Mirsad Bektic on this card

I'll put it in as rumored. Seems like this is the original source:

Romero missed weight 185.2, so no title fight I guess. Looks like the two fights I wanted to see most are off.

Whittaker said that he wouldn’t accept the fight if Yoel missed weight... please just make it a non title fight so the fight can stay on... or just offer Whittaker I crap ton of money that he can’t refuse. I just really don’t want another card to be ruined over something so stupid.

.2 pounds?  He can't cut .2 pounds for a world title fight? Did he try clipping his nails, shaving his goatee, eyebrows and pubes?

It sounds like the commission cut his time short and didnt give him a chance to....

Just spoke to Yoel Romero’s manager Abraham Kawa. He said an hour into the extra 2 hours they had to cut the one pound, the exec. director of the Illinois Commission told Romero to stop the cut and weigh in

They were told it was a medical call, though they said a doctor was w/ them and wasn’t stopping it, though that doctor couldn’t overrule the head the commission. It took them a while to get downstairs but they firmly believe if given the full 2 hours he would have made it.

In fact, he said his team believes all he needed was five more minutes. They have yet to be given an official reason as to why it was called off an hour early. As for Romero’s state, Kawa said, “I was scared for him in Australia, I wasn’t scared for him today.” They are upset.

Wow what a big shmuck romero is. dern, till, lee, ladd all pathetic cheaters too afraid to compete in their own real weight class. Fighters should b weighed right b4 a fight. No more losers dehydrating themselves in a sad attempt to face smaller opponents who dont hit as hard and aren't as strong. Bunch of hurting a holes.

Its not like they missed by a little either. They basically payed 20% to not have to torture themselves to the deadline for making weight. Giving them another advantage on top of the xtra weight. Seriously though two title shots in one year and u miss on both. Rember the good ole tuf days when fighters were thrown off the show for not making weight.

I agree.
