Olives straight to towel and up first....hits 155 pounds so 9 pounds over, think they are trying to contact lamas if he wishes to go ahead.
Sigh this is not looking good.....
So still no action on RDA-ferg.. i've been a huuuuuge ferg backer, some people even laughed when i said he'd be fighting for the belt by the end of 2016 (a couple years ago) -- ok, that didn't happen but it could/should have! fights fell thru, conor entered 155, etc.
and while i'm concerned with RDA coming off of a KO / losing belt (and moreso: switching camps)...
i have been on record in saying: RDA is going to win the first round. that's why i don't like all the ferg prefight action that i'm seeing. i think you'll absolutely get a better price live on ferg, and i might be betting that, myself. but not betting him pre. ferg's lost the first round 4 of his last 6 fights. RDA almost always starts out strongly (alvarez obviously an exception).
in that line of thought, i also absolutely see value on RDA RD1 +850.
9 pound boxer shorts perhaps lol
Think they said olives has missed it 4 times before, they started to discuss known offenders like linekar.
Anyhow the news I posted was not 100% confirmed yet, think one of them said lamas wants all of olives money.
Yep. Thats why I like watching them. They stream the weigh ins live on Facebook and answer people's questions when theres a lull in the fighters coming out. You can usually get some really solid insider commentary and insight when they do.Is that normal on that facebook pre-weigh in stream for live commentary? Seems like insider gossip
Guy talking about fighters and how they have another scale behind this one so fighters coming in way early are having a hard time or gave up cutting weight, think he said olives does this. He just said olives
should make weight though and he always looks skinny, but he came in on tuesday (per normal) so not early to adjust for climate, he said most Brazilians tend to do this.
He gave his picks also

I assume it has something to do with Olives taking the fight on October 12th and maybe some sort of sickness leading up to this that caused him to not be able to cut and he just stopped when he knew he would make it.Did Oliveira think the fight was at LW?

Lamas/Oliveira out this card?
You really have to wonder what Olives walk around weight is between fights. He must cut a pretty absurd amount of weight.Lamas camp still negotiating exact money terms and clauses but looks to be still on.
Olive camp said it was the short notice that caused the issue.
