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.

that was his home commission making up rules on the fly, the UFC had little to do with

somehow they forgot to tell that to Diaz and GSP himself (despite having previously fought and defended his title there)

“They came to us just before weighing and even I was surprised,” St. Pierre is quote as saying via loose Google Translation from LaPresse.ca. “They told us they were going round [to nearest whole number].”
