How can halloway not make weight? How much is this guy actually cutting?
you realize most of these dudes walk around at the minimum like 25-30lbs(there's more well over that) over their weight classes right? Plus he is coming off of an injury, he was probably in the 180s when he got the call.

Sounds like they're giving the fight to Pettis which makes zero sense. He's off a loss, the worst stylistic match-up of the lightweights available and is lower ranked than Al Iaquinta who also has a nice winning streak going...and some actual wrestling ability.

They can sell the fight with Pettis being the former LW champ. If Pettis doesn't make weight I think Iaquinta gets the shot, he's already at 155 he tweeted out

Why didn’t they have Ortega cutting weight also in case this happened? He’s in town too

And Pettis? :heh: He probably stopped cutting once his fight fell through and went to the steak house(I would :heh: )

Iaquinta talked a ton of sh1t about Dana White and asked for his release publicly, no way they will give him a title shot

Ehh, if Pettis can't make weight, what choice do they have? The cards basically ruined anyway, taking out the ME would be a complete disaster
