    197 pounds of malicious bull****.. The 3rd time he is overweight, and in a weight class 15 pounds North no less.

    The UFC, do the right thing and send him on his way.

    At least there's a second weigh-in but this is serious bull****. Here's to Belfort

    I hope that he doesn´t get cut he is a great fighter and could become MW champion once Sonnen, Belfort and Anderson retire

    He should only be allowed back at 205 after this debacle.

    Yea probably, Mo said that Johnson might have damaged his body with the weight cuts (like Cormier did) and that it´s the reason he couldn´t cut the weight anymore. At 205 he wouldn´t have a size advantage anymore but it would be much healthier

    From everything I've heard, these guys keep doing the cut and then suddenly there comes a point where their body won't cut anymore.

    Maybe he has been killing himself for years and finally his body said enough is enough.

    12 pounds over the limit makes you wonder where his cut started from! I'm not keen on anyone who cuts more than 10 pounds.

    Hendo and Couture never had problems cutting weight. I don't think it's age - it's the ridiculous amount of weight that they're trying to cut. I was never a wrestler so I never had a good grasp of that science anyway.
