    As of yesterday, it was 140. Today, they changed it to 143.

    Hmm... I wonder who requested the change.

    Not looking good for Ryan, an upset is looking very possible.

    What makes an upset any more probable than it already was?

    Well, Garcia being distracted by his personal problems with DLH/Hopkins, and now not making weight gives the strong and tough Duarte a better chance.

    They didn't say who requested the weight change though, do we?

    I could've gone to this fight still might. I expect Ryan to dominate.

    Everyone's been praising Garcia for his comments about everybody, BUT yet here we are....

    This isn't the WWE. These fighters/promoters need to make great fights and shut up. We're all over the soap operas.

    Garcia will bail. The pressure is too great. He needs a few more weeks talking to his shrink.

    You really think they would let a relative unknown change the weight at this point?

    You really think Duarte has that kind of pull to make this kind of change last minute? Of course this is Garcia.
