    Carl Moretti of Top Rank:

    "He's been in a colder climate than he's used to and that probably hurt him trying to make weight. He's a big 135-pounder. He just couldn't get down. The question is what happens Saturday night and in the future? I think it's too soon to say that he's done at 135 but he could be. We'll have to talk about with him and his team, see if maybe he went about making weight the wrong way. But he looked drained, very drained."

    Im tha biggest Rios and Garcia fan, gotta say Im dissapointed in them.. They were training in tha Mexican Mountains Hi Altitude for 2-3 weeks and this **** still happened? His nutritionist is a 300 pound Mexican guy with a gut, and im not joking saw it on a Eli video

    why does his nutritionist/conditioning coach need to be in shape? he's a retired former powerlifter.

    does victor conte look fit to you? or ****** fortune? or mike boyle?

  12. Might be time to go up to his real weight class and leave the little 135lb dude alone already.

    If he can't make weight at his young age, he doesn't belong in the division.
