Wow. Dudes a legit killer. Make weight next fight, bro. 

Sad for Joey B. Definitely in the conversation for best fighters to never win a belt.

Anddddd he’s cost me £100 because he got into a fire fight with a heavier fighter. Nobody deserves to be flyweight champion more than joe more gutted for him than my parlay

Him being an exciting finisher is probably good for 125 but I guess it’s not since he didn’t make weight and will struggle to in the future

Rule needs to be changed. Weigh in 4 hours before getting into CAGE. You miss weight you get suspended for a year. This dehydration weight leverage strategy puts athletes health in peril and is cheating! Fight equally and be CHAMPION

Ehh. I’m not gonna be too hard on Joe,despite being a little sloppy leaning and leaping  into those looping combos and getting caught in a fire fighter vs a bigger more powerful guy, when he should’ve played the marathon game, IMO 

The reality is in fact, Figueiredo isn’t the champ and frankly does not deserve  be. Who knows how that goes down had he continued to cut weight. They looked at least a weight class away from each other

just cost me a 9 parlay win of over 6000$.......

honestly the ref should have stopped that fight and let the doc check it and inform the judges of accidental head but.... it would have gave him a chance to get his witz back.... also joe fought a stupid game plan but weould have won that fight if no headbutt

Ouch $6k? I broke even in the end. Made a 'sadness hedge' on Fig. 

Fighters can still miss weight 4 hours before they enter the cage. Don't think there'll be a solution until MMA becomes as big as boxing, and they can have more weight divisions. I don't think the outcome would've been different here. Sucks for Joe B, but thems the breaks...

And, Joe gets head butted in almost every bout. He can't change his style at his age. Leaping in like a madman.

Lol 80 percent of you picked joe what are you guys on? God of war all day, first miss in his career, and if you attribute the loss to the headbutt, i don’t know what to tell you

1. Im so pissed off i went with my heart picking Benevidiz, But i knew figurido was going to win 

2. I hope they don't fire that ref or punish him  because thinking of the big picture it might infulce ref to do it late instead of early
