    Johnson did try to make the 185 lbs limit as well. According to his story he was trying to make weight when he started feeling sick and had to stop. He was given fluids by a doctor which wound up making him so grossly overweight. With Johnson being required to "make weight" aka rumbleweight of 205 lbs at noon today this makes for his second weight cut in two days. He could be severely drained from his efforts.

    That is if he had to cut. How much bigger than 205 can he be?

    I think Johnson and Vitor will be around the same size tonight. The difference is Vitor just went through a much more grueling process yesterday.

    Vitor has serous power at middleweight. Remember the shots Akiyama was taking from Leben with little effect?

    I hope Vitor lands a big one-two between some of Johnson's wild shots.

    Maybe i wasnt really clear but my point is that it isnt fair for Vitor to make weight then in 24h gain as much weight as possible cuz Johnson ****ed up big time.
    They should have made a catchweight bout at 190 lbs instead of making it a 205 lbs bout or cancelled the whole thing

    Is there going to be a whole new style of intro/presentation tonight? I though that they were going to be dropping the gladiator intro/theme starting with the first event of the year.
