    Interesting thing is, what is ESB going to say about Tank, if Ryan pulls this off? "He was overrated" "yeah woman beater" "There's no such thing as weight bullies" "Ryan was actually the smaller man" "Tank looked huge" "That's what the weight bully gets".. blah blah blah...

    Do they both not have the stipulation? If so not sure what the problem is.

    Can everyone remember that Garcia had to bend over backwards to get Tank in the ring. If Garcia didn't agree Tank wouldn't have accepted the fight.

    Rehydration takes at least 48 hours.

    Haney wouldn't get in the ring with Loma if there were any clauses in Loma's favour. In that case Loma had to make every concession to get Haney to fight, and still struggled.

    Watch Haney go huggy bear while getting the snot beaten out of him and get a decision. The governing bodies don't like Loma.

    Tank already fought at 140 without a dehydration clause. He also fought small guys like LSC who came up to his weight without a dehydration clause and gave up a lot of weight on fight day. It’s a cowardly move.

    Props to Ryan for doing everything possible to make this fight happen. Tank did everything possible to get out of it but Garcia agreed to everything and gave him no choice. It would not surprise me to see Tank come in over the limit. He’s done it before.

    Don’t know if this is true, but I know rehydration takes awhile. Ryan better jump on an IV just to be on the safe side.

    I got on an IV once and I went from nearly death to feeling amazing in about an hour or two. Wanted to workout when I got home from the hospital at 3am.

    Well no surprise, like many fighters/teams eventually they talk so much due to the attention & allure of the camera that they end up talking in circles of revelations,

    In fact i've seen this happen in the past particularly with Tank's own promoter, funny.

    So Garcia weighing a few pounds more than Twink and having a 2½'' longer reach than him (albeit the height difference is 4½'') is ''unfair'' but ''hype job'' Loma routinely facing giants who weigh close to two, two or three divisions more than him and have near 6'' reach advantages on him is fair?

    Loma has never fought anyone at a catchweight, slapped a rehydration clause on them, or like so many of these multiple weight champs jacked himself with PEDs to help him bridge the gap to campaign at higher weight classes but he receives zero credit for it. Quite the opposite, in fact.

    I'll do a comprehensive breakdown of all this and a comparison between what Loma did and is doing in his third weight class he won a world title in and what Twink did in his to show you what the difference is between a true legacy fighter/real one and a manufactured smoke and mirrors illusionist is.

    Why? Because I've had to listen to a biblical amount of ''hype job'' Loma virulent hate from Twink fans for years

    Millionaire alpha male professional athletes under the advisement of managers, lawyers, strength, conditioning and recovery coaches do what they want based upon the millions they will be paid.
