Damnit! I've already bought into a big parlay but that weight miss with Zuba is so horrendous it's making me feel soooo uncomfortable. I may have to take a cash out loss..AHHH!

Of course is lack of discipline Mayo, Zubaira fought 5 times in 9 years.

16k-16k isn’t the lowest ufc pay, its 10k-10k for contenders series fighter , and 12k-12k for non contenders series fighters, it not “fake news” or conspiracy, they’re a reason why the ufc don’t disclose pay anymore, it’s because it’s low

Has anyone else ever moved up a weight class, only to miss weight AND still win in dominant fashion? 
Zuba is gonna need that cardio, who the fook knows now. If it was his standard FW fight he would have been off by 12.5 Lbs!

Everyone seems to be on Islam by SUB. But I feel like more people should consider a ground and pound victory. Islam gets a body-lock and gets a TKO by stoppage? Thoughts?

I would hold off on cashing out a partial loss. It's possible Zu***** doesn't fight at all and all bets are voided.

Mans has ample time to make weight and it’s up a weight class and he still misses. That’s actually insane

@Harbinger - yeah good point, I forgot there is a small chance the fight could be off. 

@weeit - Zuba has never looked shredded at 145, so moving up (fatter) was never in his favor. Then, missing weight? There could actually be something wrong health wise. All I know is this is too much of an unknown for me to feel comfortable layin down heavy cash money

I wanna see the ceremonial weigh ins to see how he looks in the face off

That sounds reasonable @kniferusty it’s just a terrible matchup for Elves health issues or not.

I think he still wins my goodness that is unbelievable. I think someone said this earlier but I’m gonna say it again, Zuba is the black sheep of the Dagestanis

Makhechev look like he had a rough weight cut, I don't really like to look too much into the weight cut because a lot of the time it don't matter, And it more about the matchup or who the better fighter wins, But I have to bring the infomation out they're about the rough weight cut when Islam is about -500 odds

Zuba didn't make weight again, loses 30% of purse, fight is still on.

Is this still a lock?

I think both zubaira and rodrigues are still winning because neither of them looked particularly drained even though they missed weight, definitely not betting on them on my main parlay though - both rodrigues and zubaira are demoted down to the smallest parlay I have

The weigh in feed crapped out 3 times not seen anything since grabbasstic trivia game old boys were playing.
Islam looked ok to me just being careful with no miss allowed in aussie town, Randy looked pretty **** was dripping on the scale lol.
