Michel Pereira vs Stephen Thompson is OFF
Vinicius Salvador vs. CJ Vergara moved to prelims
Derrick Lewis vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima moved to main card

Rules should be...
-1st time you miss weight, fined 50% of your purse, and goes to your opponent.
-2nd time you miss weight fined 75% of your purse, goes to your opponent, and you must fight your next fight in the next weight division up.
-3rd time you miss weight, GTFO of the UFC and go fight in some other league.

If these fat fucking tiramisu eaters don't take their careers seriously or respect their opponents, they should get more than a slap on the wrist.

Probably because he sucks now. Justin broke him and beat the living fuck out of him.

would be interesting to see the old tony once again, but very low odds of that happening. couldn't find how many more fights are on his current contract, but if he goes 0-6 would almost have to cut him. then again he was on the main card over lewis/lima who are both ranked and bj penn did go 0-7-1 before getting cut.
while looking at other records, cowboy cerrone went 0-6-1, he was on a 3 win streak, then got beat by tony and never won again.

he was 205.5 at 11am and apparently post the 228 at 2am

not fought in 1.5 years, still didn't fix his ear

Lewis is the goat my god lmao

Been wanting to hit some mother fuckers for two years..... check.
