    dont hate hendricks for managing his career wisely. hate the sport that makes it impossible to earn just rewards without engaging in patently unsafe behavior.
    I do agree with this...they need to make a 175 division or something. Just too many guys in between who kill themselves over a weight cut.

    Yeah, had 0% to do with an IV, which should be obvious, as he was still cutting.

    plus, since he went to the hospital, he can have all the IVs he wants and it wouldn't even be a violation.

    i mean honestly, name a single belt holder right now that shouldnt be fighting at a higher weight class.

    that cut is what makes a champion in the sport of mma right now. as repulsive as that is, its true.

    Frankie deserves honorable exclusion but yeah, even he has to ride the train now.

    Not the same thing but, I'm pretty sure back in the day Randy Couture had to have rocks in his pockets to make HW. I would think he had to be giving up at least 60 to Lesnar when they fought.

    These fucking retards at DraftKings. This shit pisses me off cause I had my lineup done around 2pm EST which included Lewis, Northcutt, and Namajunas who all have KOs atm which score big.

    October 3, 2015 8:06PM EDT

    [Investigating] Tonight, we experienced a contest data issue in MMA, causing a fight included in tonight's MMA contests to start and conclude before our scheduled time tonight of 7pm ET. Because it started early, users were able to edit or change lineups in MMA with full knowledge of the results of that fight.

    Given that the integrity of tonight's MMA games is impacted by this fight starting early, we have no choice but to cancel the MMA 7pm ET contests and refund all contest entries. This process is underway and refunds will be issued promptly this evening.

    We understand the frustration this will cause for our players, and investigated several options, but ultimately determined that this is the only fair and equitable solution for our players. We will be doing a full investigation into the root cause of the start time data being off, and how to prevent this from happening again.

    As our way of saying sorry, we will also be running a free-entry $10,000 MMA contest for the next MMA event in apology and appreciation for our MMA players.

    We thank you in advance for your understanding and continued support.

    I had Tumenov on DK as well so make that four KOs with one fight to go for me so I will say it again... FUCK YOU DRAFT KINGS!

    The next/last fight in my lineup I probably lose but had to take a dog because I ran out of salary so I had to go with Daniel Hooker. If he somehow wins with a first round KO then FML even more.

    It don't get more lopsided of a card then what tonight's prelims have been.
