    That's right, all this fuss and a lost title over the average weight of a common sparrow.

    Sorta silly ain't it?

    According to Dan Rafael's twitter "Rios' manager Cameron Dunkin was angry when he found out Rios hadn't eaten for 5 days literally and had 4oz of water 2 days ago. Stupid."

    Same thing he has done for most of his fights. He says it helps him to focus and become motivated. Rios always fights with a little anger and rage from days of self deprivation.

    Time for Rios to move up to 140 and get knocked out by Morales.

    Not sure why Dunkin would care one way or the other. That is not his concern or call. That is the fighter's and trainer's call. Dunkin may be more upset that Brandon did all that and still missed weight.

    He has to make sure he remains 146 and under when he weighs in tomorrow morning at 9am. It's not enough to make it an even fight, but Murray's chances have a certainly gone up a notch. Should be an great scrap. My guess is that it'll even be more entertaining than the main event.
