not 100% but looks like Ohio gyms were allowed to full reopen May 20, there was a lawsuit or something. Stipe said he wants his normal 2 month camp so would put the fight in the august slot that dana wanted.

I see. Well I'll believe it when I see both guys in the Octagon. Plenty of fighters sign fights and commitments only to pull out.

main and co-main missed weight
Jessica Eye (126.25 *) vs. Cynthia Calvillo (126)
Karl Roberson (190.5 *) vs. Marvin Vettori (186)
plus prelim
Tyson Nam (135.5) vs. Zarrukh Adashev (138.5 *)

2 misses in a row for Jessica, she still has 40ish mins, but said she was done.
edit

comments to mmafighting's live stream said she pinched the curtain, but i don't see it.

apparently
Karl Roberson (190.5 *) vs. Marvin Vettori (186)

were supposed to fight during smith v texiera, but that roberson guy also missed weight and got pulled for some issue.

and look at him this time, he didn't even give a shit about cutting weight, missing weight by almost 5lbs is not even trying.

on that last card
“During the weight cut, I starting have seizures – like, small seizures – so they had to stop my weight cut,” Roberson told MMA Junkie. “I still went down there, weighed in and tried to make it to the fight. When I tried to rehydrate, my body never came back. My legs gave out, and I passed out. I hit my head, and they said I was going through rhabdomyolysis.
“My brain functions started to not work, so they took me to the hospital, rehydrated me and checked me to make sure I wasn’t completely gone down the drain, so they pulled me from the card.”

he gave an interview yesterday and said had a new diet for camp and everything was going well, but looked tired. i wonder if he got to a point today and felt like that shit was going to happen again and just stopped. he weighed in with something like 90+ mins left.

crazy, seems to be a big lack of info for a group that got hammered in one bar and got into it with another the other bar.

Dana said Khabib vs Justin will likely be in Abu Dhabi in Sept. didn't realize that in Justin's 24 fights, 23 in USA, 1 in Canada

HeavyweightCurtis Blaydesvs.Alexander Volkov
FeatherweightJosh Emmettvs.Shane Burgos
Women's BantamweightRaquel Penningtonvs.Marion Reneau
WelterweightBelal Muhammadvs.Lyman Good
Catchweight (160 lbs)Jim Millervs.Roosevelt Roberts

another bleh, not as bad as last weeks

if you're trying to remember these guys, their best performance is losing to better fighters




Kinda excited about Blaydes and Volkov. But, even if we have to endure a few "shitty" cards, it's worth it for 251. That card is nuts.

DC talks the Stipe signing.

It does sound like Stipe is all in and intends to make it Aug 15th. But there is no set venue, so anything is possible.
