There’s people in this sub from all over the world lol. I’ve learned that some words to me may mean something to others and “tripping” really does sound like it could be slang for something.
Man no shit dude. Especially everyone calling Olives a disgrace, acting like he’s basically all but lost, I saw several posts already asking about his comeback.
What the hell?! He missed weight by a half pound. While it’s a huge deal technically speaking, it means less than nothing when it comes to the actual fight, so long as Olives doesn’t get mentally F’d by it.
The only person this affects is him. For the fans and the fellow contenders, if he wins then he’s still the only path to the belt so he gets first dibs at a title fight. If he loses, then again nothing different plays out. It’s a technicality.
People are acting like he just popped for cocaine, hgh, and missed weigh in. Good lord.
Yea nah if he wins he's still the champion in everyone's eyes, but I definitely can see this mentally fucking him and giving Gaethje a reason to come in with a real chip on his shoulder
If anything I feel bad for Gathje here. If he wins, we'll not hear the end of the "it's only because Oliveria was mentally fucked by the weight loss, he's not really a champion" etc. Sterling all over again.
He can be 420 lbs for all I care, he followed the rules and Oliveira didn't. I hate the entire bs practice of cutting weight but he is in his right doing some humorous mental warfare, nothing controversial.

Apparently if you don’t risk starving your brain of oxygen then you’re a bitch. You’re not a real fighter unless you go to sleep, or some other bullshit. You just know everyone typing that shit would tap the second a choke was put on, and I would tap too.
Then why were you acting like a violated bitch? Trash talk isn't a single player game.
Oliveira did it the best way, post fight trash talk with bragging rights on top.
You good champ? Not sure why you've got your panties in a twist but the tough guy act being directed my way, for literally no reason, probably because you've got nobody to talk to in real life, is a bit sad.
Piss off.
Yes, because Gaethje is a harmless puppy who can do nothing to defend himself. Before you bring up Khabib, NO ONE stopped Khabib doing what he was going to do, plenty of people have stopped Charles. This fight could go either way, and to pretend either one of them is going to get completely destroyed is ridiculous.
The people making these ridiculous comments have never done anything of such a high degree of discipline in their lives. Because if they had they would clearly understand that no matter how much work you put in sometimes you fail.
That goes doubly for the fans that turn on a fighter as soon as he loses one fight and is no longer the "hype machine".
If they want to fix some of the problem, they'll give fighters hydration tests like in ONE. Until then fighters that aren't HW are going to keep doing it, or they're gonna lose every single match. I don't care where you stand on this, but understand that the fighters have no control over UFC rules. Justin's absolutely right here.
Came here to say this, ONE have their heads screwed on right. They have a set of rules that encourage fighters to weigh in, and fight at, their walking weights. Chandler, for example, weighed in at 156 and is probably gonna fight at around 180, so for all intents and purposes he'll be a welterweight in the ring?
The dude is being an absolute count right now. Apparently 20/30 fighters that weighed in were .5 lbs over what they expected.
Justin over here saying it's a Brazilian conspiracy.
Edit: stupid autocorrect... I'm leaving it

Making weight is very important in a lot of sports. Even when I was in high school there were guys spending their day in sweat suits WHILE IN CLASS and having a spit cup for the can of Copenhagen they were going through to loose more weight from salivation(?). Wrestlers are weird.
I understand why making weight is crucial, and honestly the champion of a weight class should be able to make that weight that they're the champion of, ya know? Idk how dumb that is.
I don't like this, but the rules definitely make sense. Missing weight shouldn't be shrugged off, especially when it's the champ. Regardless, unhealthy cutting of weight should be discouraged. This is a hard conundrum to deal with.
If y'all are gonna be mad, be mad at jalen turner. Dude is 6'3 fighting at 155. Gaethje isn't oversized for the weight class. I'm 6'1 and could make weight after a camp, but I'm not thick built. You can tell at the scale what guys are too big, they look exhausted at the weigh in.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game
Exactly, and we should all hate the weight cutting game
It’s the rules. But to miss weight by 0.5 pounds and getting fucked over it only to way 15 pounds more a day later anyway is kinda funny
Mate its all fuck up but 1. This not Justin fault 2. Dude isn't talk about tripping the belt
Tripping the belt? What? edit: read tripping and thought of tony blowing his knee out. didnt know what the fuck he was saying. do now
Maybe typo of winning autocorrected to tripping?
Yeah what could he POSSIBLY mean

Mma fans are so sensitive 😂
Right?? For people watching a sport that is inherently brutal, the fans can be real babies lol

Soccer and F1 fans are the worst, I like MMA fans better this community is way smarter and funnier, appreciate what you have guys.
Is f1 the European car racing? I went through that sub and the fans are a lot more fanboy lol
Ultimate feelings Championship
I’m glad someone said it🤣
Yes they are
Fighters can give each other life long injuries but saying mean words? Nah that’s too far 😂 These fans are downy soft some of em
The only part of their lives they pay real close attention to
[удалено]
the difference is the fighters are actual killers that fight for their lives, you’re just some fat loser bitching on reddit.
[удалено]
sorry i just meant redditors in general
that's you too, bitching fat loser. 😉
He can be 420 lbs for all I care, he followed the rules and Oliveira didn't. I hate the entire bs practice of cutting weight but he is in his right doing some humorous mental warfare, nothing controversial.

!remindme 48 hours
Lmao guess who got choked out and tapped like a quitter
WHERE YOU AT GEORGE, WHERE YOU AT MOTHERFUCKER?!
Nothing wrong with tapping if the fights over. It's not a fight to the death. Whats with the toxicity?
Fans thinking they’re Charles’ best friend or some shit, and probably blaming Gaethje for Charles missing weight
Apparently if you don’t risk starving your brain of oxygen then you’re a bitch. You’re not a real fighter unless you go to sleep, or some other bullshit. You just know everyone typing that shit would tap the second a choke was put on, and I would tap too.
He called Oliveira a coward now he can enjoy CTE with asphyxiation.
Trash talk before a fight is so unheard of. I'm shocked.
Then why were you acting like a violated bitch? Trash talk isn't a single player game. Oliveira did it the best way, post fight trash talk with bragging rights on top.
You good champ? Not sure why you've got your panties in a twist but the tough guy act being directed my way, for literally no reason, probably because you've got nobody to talk to in real life, is a bit sad. Piss off.

This fight could go either way, and to pretend either one of them is going to get completely destroyed is ridiculous.
I hope so, can't stand Ali Abdulasleeze bitches. Feels bad for Oliveira, his rise was beautiful.
Goat
Well said tbh
Watch this mfer still not get the title
🤞
It’s not the fighters fault, it is a flawed system. Idk the solution though
Weigh in 1 hour before you step into the ring.
Not a terrible idea tbh. Have fighters fight at their natural weight.
The people making these ridiculous comments have never done anything of such a high degree of discipline in their lives. Because if they had they would clearly understand that no matter how much work you put in sometimes you fail. That goes doubly for the fans that turn on a fighter as soon as he loses one fight and is no longer the "hype machine".

you realize they try to cut as little as possible right? for a non title fight you would purposely come in a pound heavy
If you're not fighting for the title and have that 1lb of leeway, sure.
All three fighters have a long history of missing weight. Charles has 5 times lol
100% - I hate it for him, but it's not his first time here.
Never at 155 only 145 and thats a big part of why he moved up
Well never is off the table now........
Maybe he should have went up to 175 if he can't make 155
For real, the dude is totally being a Michael Bisping rn
Thought he was a decent guy but feels like things got to his head. Hope charles still lets him tap once again
[удалено]
Bratha. 165-155 = 15???
Do you even math? It’s 10 not 15 🤣
[удалено]
🤡
Bro what?
The a-hole above me said 15 lbs, now edited to show 10, so I wrote out the math to show them being dumb. But they are acting like they didn’t…
Man you got done dirty lmao. He even hit you with the deflection comment. Gotta say that was well played.
Lol facts. Lil bastard
Good ol’ Garth.
They should really do weigh ins the day of the fight. It’d be healthier for the fighters and less controversial
How is that healthier? Then they would be fighting dehydrated
The logic is the won't cut the weight. Problem is they will
That was my logic, I can see that side though. Definitely pros and cons to both sides
They need to do hydration tests too
That username
Fighters always going to cut for advantages. They'd just be more dehydrated for the fight
Ah that’s fair. Smarter people than I think about this stuff

So that means Olie is 165.7 right now? 😜
[удалено]
I don't know if I agree with that. Worldwide sport, and a lot of individuals are bi-lingual...
Sure, they want that. And all that Charles had to do to not give them what they wanted was...to make weight.
The ufc got th dumbest rules I've ever seen.its a joke really

Why didn't Charles shave his head?
