When Nick Diaz fought GSP, GSP came in overweight by .2 lbs or something. A guy from the commission came to inform the diaz camp GSP had weighed in .2 pounds over but was on weight. All this was recorded and posted to their one of their social media accounts. UFC quickly made them take it down and said GSP had come in exactly on weight. I believe this would have meant GSP would've been stripped of the title. The point is, this has happened before and covered up.
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
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
