Does anyone think Yoel using his arms to go down the stairs here instead of stepping normally means he has a torn MCL or other injury? Especially combined with his weight miss? That's the talk online by eagle eyed fans:

did wonder but its too obvious maybe. wouldn't you want to hide an injury better? maybe trick rock into taking the fight thinking hes hurt but really hes just 3lb overweight
 
Honestly though, Luke looks worse in that interview than Yoel did at the scales

Douche bag meter off the charts there. It's like I could smell the liquor on his breath from here. Weird all around.

He seems to look everywhere BUT at the camera 4 feet in front of him. I dunno. Could be playing too. He's known for that a bit isn't he? Goofing off like that. I seem to remember him taunting Bisping in odd ways a time or two.

He looks bad. Hard to say whether injury or depletion.

Regardless of what it is, probably wise to jam a large stack of money on Luke. He has too many points in his favor

Hmm, I think thats a big reach. He has chimp length arms, and it's a playful way to go down stairs...random i know, but I do the same lol.

cant discount the fact that he's just a wierdo in the anderson silva vein

There is so much value in a +Romero though. That's the long-term investing play, not the short-term gamble. A large stack of money on the obviously flawed favourite is not the better strategy. That said, it's your stack of money.
 
anyone got a vid of what Romero looked like walking up the stairs onto the stage?

You are saying platitudes that have no meaning

Rockhold's only weakness is his chin, which make seem like a bad weakness vs a KO guy like Yoel. But it's really not since Yoel isn't a volume striker and relies on landing powerful knees + ground n pround that he probably won't land on Luke.

And if he doesn't get the early finish, he's going to gas by r3 and Luke is going to take over and finish like he does vs. everybody. Luke can survive whatever offense Yoel has to offer, Yoel coming off a bad weight cut cannot survive Luke.

Same way. He looked like a chimpanzee. Not being racist! It's what he looked like

I don't think it's an injury. He's just an 8 yr old in a 40 year old body

Does it matter? You guys try way too hard to read into signals that are impossible to read.

He missed weight, and then only dropped 0.3 pounds in 2 hours. This is the real signal. He failed at cutting weight, which indicates some malfunction in his body that hurt his odds of winning the fight.

Trying to read the tea leaves of Luke's interview or Yoel walking on the stairs is impossible. Just bet on the guy who cut weight successfully, and bet against the guy who didn't.

Man. I like Luke here slightly. In fact, I've thought for awhile he's the best 185er on earth. But his chin could be cracked. And these drastic weight cuts he goes through could be the cause

BUT if this goes to the ground late I think he absolutely slaughters Yoel

Or you the tea leaves say he didn’t try to make weight and will win because it’s the new trend
 
Go watch the open workout, specifically when hes stretching...hes fine. Hes walking like that because hes probably getting cramps, severe dehydration isn't kind to your muscles.

Don't think he's injured at all but the weight cut with less time to rehydrate is not good
 
Matthews looked pretty damn good

He has to be related to Canelo Alvarez
