I’ll take Whitaker, Pettis and Overroid.

I woulda taken Schevchenko but uh, yikes, who missed weight?

I don’t want to pick the muslim guy named after two demons, so I’ll just skip that one.

I don't think anyone missed weight. Nunes came in under, and the UFC official response to her dropping out was, “the doctors couldn't find anything wrong” which tells me all I need to know.

Nunes didn’t miss weight, she made herself sick by cutting too much weight. What they do is cut water weight, severely dehydrate themselves

This has become a MAJOR problem, lots of fights cancelled. And it’s become worse since they banned IV rehydration (I don’t know how enforceable that is but they did).

I think they should have weighins 2 days before, the day before, and the day of, and you have to make weight each time. That would make extreme de-hydration impossible and force all fighters to fight at their actual weight and would mean a whole lot of fighters moving up a class, which is fine cause most of the bigger fighters in their new class would be moving up too. You could tweak the classes to even them out if necessary.
