Helwani confirms Fight still on and belt on the Line for Max
 
khab missing weight makes me think hes going to look really flat again like last time out. gonna add more to saggo dec


Yesterday I saw again his last fight vs Silva and vs Masvidal and looks a different fighter. I don't know what happened but in his last fights doesn't throw volume at all, which don't make sense, he looks good against a good striker then he does nothing against Wade,Silva or Parke? Another USADA victim?

low volume style + Canada + Missing weight. Saggo ML and DEC for me too.
 
Max will could sub Pettis?
Like a lot Max ko or dec @1.90

Pettis sub defense is great. This fight doesn't go to the ground unless a knockdown happens or something crazy. If you like Holloway in this fight bet the house on the line.
 
espn says its only interim title fight for halloway not for pettis and hes obviously forfeiting 20 percent of his purse. glad its still on though love the max bet even more.
 
so we have a drained pettis who is going to be demotivated as surely this means even if he wins no title shot. am i right in assuming that?

I'd bet that Pettis still gets a title shot if he beats Max.
 
In case anyone can translate

 
Too many fake belts, maybe this one is too

I watched the weigh ins with Ariel commentating. He mentioned that Pettis' camp told him that his body stopped sweating during the weight cut process yesterday or today which caused him to miss weight.

This is a common occurrence when your body is dehydrated and if you drank to little water before you started the process of using the sauna to sweat out the water weight. You body basically says "I am either going to use the little water I have left to help the blood flow to your organs or sweat it out to control temperature" and if this is the case, it will choose to help blood flow.

That being said, I don't think he will be any more or less dehydrated than if he had made weight. It's just an unfortunate by product of using dehydration for acute weight loss.
 
Weight cut is good, hot saunas here, Toronto has been great, easier than I expected, I got here Tuesday, I haven't been out much, a little bit short notice, he was supposed to fight Moraga, but I love the match up, I'll bring the action, I edge him in everything, stand up, wrestling, I'm constantly moving, I have a scramble advantage, moved back home, bounce around all gyms here, as soon I got this call, I trained with Team Cejudo 3-4 weeks at CSA

Either way having nothing left to sweat out is going to impinge your athletic performance in 24 hrs

Right but he is going to re hydrate for the next 24-36 hours just like he would have had he made weight.

I still think he loses a decision. I thought that before he missed weight lol.
 
someone mentioned how hot Letourneau looked

In St Petersburg for a week, change of environment, got a child at home so nice to have a break, asked to fight somebody with a big name like Lil Nog or Shogun, both Misha and I probably would have preferred to fight someone else, thought about fighting Rumble but Holloway/Pettis was already made main event, would like to fight Abdul Kerim-Edilov (Fedor dispute), would like to fight at a UFC event in Russia, got a lot of fans here, would rather go to MW than go back to HW, my normal weight is just over 100kg (220lbs) when not training, 10 days before the fight I'm 96/97kg (214lbs), weight cut is easy, don't think that the cut to MW wouldn't be too difficult but I'm happy where I am, Misha and I are the guys who can make a run in the division, heard rumours that UFC will end the Reebok sponsorship because new owners might want to bring their own sponsors in
