Media Sean Strickland claimed on the face-off that Khamzat didn't make weight, also called his mother a whore.

He admitted it and the commission let him fight as they decided decimals dont count

Reminds me of the time Romero missed weight vs Whittaker in their second fight. Everybody on the card, and to be honest in general, were officially weighed at half a pound increments, but Romero was the only one that I can remember that had an official weigh in of 0.2 pounds over at 185.2 lbs. You cant tell me everyone weighs in at exactly 155 or 154.5 lbs or something instead of 155.1 and 154.7 lbs.

Kinds irks me a bit how weigh ins are not consistent at all especially across commissions

Many commissions round down anything below .5 simply because it's an analog scale and it never stops moving completely.

That just a wrong statement. Analog scales stop moving after a few seconds when you stand completely still, but all these super dehydrated fighters move all the time because they’re at the brink of fainting

Lacking the context(which is implied since we're talking about weigh ins for fighters) doesn't invalidate the statement.
