For the second time in two weeks, a main card fighter has failed to make weight by a significant amount. Last week Gina Carano missed weight by an astonishing 4.5 pounds. Well, she must be a trend setter because today Thiago Alves, who is scheduled to fight legend Matt Hughes in the main event of UFC 85 in London missed weight by 4 pounds. He weighed in at 174 instead of the 170 pound welterweight limit. The fight will still take place, but at a catch weight of 174. This is really awful for the sport when two of the biggest fights in a while go down like this. These fighters are professionals and are not coming through. If any of us average joes/janes screw up like this at our job, we are likely to be fired. So in honor of Gina “catch weight” Carano and Thiago “Whoops” I say come on, make weight. Although for those who sympathize with the two fighters, Gina was busy doing television and Thiago did take this fight on short notice. I can agree that Thiago has a legitimate reason, but Gina…….not really. Thiago did make weight, but was caught using diet drugs and suspended at i think it was ufc 66, so he has had issues in the past with the 170 weight class.
