I'm really looking forward to Pettis/Holloway and Cerrone/Brown, but now I see this -

Anthony Pettis, according to sources, is having a lot trouble making weight. As of now, it looks like he won't make 145. Stay tuned.

Oh man I hope the fight still happens!

[Eff Pandas]

How much trouble is he having I wonder. Or has he been having before today.

Not a great situation whatever the case I imagine cuz its a PPV main event, but obviously there are going to be a good chance Pettis will be a shadow of the shadow he's been in this main event fight so its likely a lose lose situation at this point. Cancel it & this PPV is a limp **** that has little reason to buy & don't cancel it & the fight isn't likely to be on the level you'd like to think it could be going into it.

He looks rough, we'll see.

Anthony Pettis misses weight at 148 - he technically has until 11am to make the weight

Still unclear if the fight is still on/if Holloway will get to fight for a belt. Per history, he should (see UFC 171), but no official word.

I'm told the fight is still on. Holloway, if he wins, gets interim title. Pettis won't if he wins. He also gives up 20% of his purse to Max.

Now I hope Pettis is able to recover and put up a good fight. I really wanted a Pettis/Aldo fight, but if Pettis wins then they should fight at 155lbs like they talked about doing a few years ago.

real bad look. pettis could still fight aldo next if he scores a KO, though.

[Eastcoast]

I hate seeing guys cut weight like this to make a fight. Killing yourself that bad just impairs your performance and puts you at greater risk for brain damage.

Ngannou might be the scariest monster in the UFC.

[Willy Wanker]

Doesn't look good for Pettis. I don't have a favorite in this fight, but I think Holloway stops him at this point.

I also think Matt Brown wrecks Cerrone bad. Cerrone is tough, but he folds when he's pressured against aggressive fighters who don't back down. It also seems like Brown has already got to Cerrone's head. He legitimately dislikes Cowboy.

I root for Pettis, met the dude before (Used to work right across the street from Rufus) and he's a cool dude plus he's from Milwaukee. Plus dude has like the worst luck of all time, the injuries and he's had his cars like ****ed with multiple times (It's just Milwaukee )

Rooting for him tonight, prob am gonna watch the boxing cards but he looks ROUGH in those pics. Pettis KO 2, cause **** it.

Ngannou might be the scariest monster in the UFC.

For sure is gonna win the HW title & probably be the most dominant HW champion in history (although I think that'd just mean like 3 defenses at this point, but still). He's too f#cking big, too f#cking athletic & too f#cking agile & ****. He probably coulda been a hell of a NFL player if things lined up right.

I wish they had a betting line for UFC futures.
