Rumble weighed it at 197???

**RaiderNation MMA** · 01-13-12, 06:05 PM

it looks like they all knew he was way over. if you look at the weigh in video some lady is whispering someone to rogan and some commission's guy and lorenzo walked up to the scale when he jumped on. all good tho, rumble would have beat him anyway

As I said, a statement was released before the weigh-ins even started

His manager is claiming that he became ill and the UFC doctors gave him fluid.

**teaserpleaser** · 01-13-12, 06:28 PM

Keven iole reporting that Aj was ill was at 191.5 this morning and that ufc drs pumped aj full of fluids.

Bigday you wrestled cut weight too did Aj look like a guy who killed himself trying to cut to you?

Nope. However, I also never received an iv of fluids after trying to make weight.

We may never know the truth, but I think we will see him fight heavy and not have any trouble with stamina.

Do the bets stay on even if he doesn't make weight? If so... my money's on AJ

**Jordan23** · 01-13-12, 09:46 PM

Notice the sudden shift in the betting line! haha.

This is very possible. I see this often with clients. They've created "metabolic damage" because of drastic weight loss methods. Very hard to fix also.

yes, if the fight happens.

Makes me more confident on my Johnson pick.

i bet on belfort already how does this effect his chances of winning? if aj is hurt or sick obvious advantage vitor but if aj is healthy than doesnt he have a big advantage with the extra muscle mass. how can we find out whats really goin on?

Helps Vitor in my opinion. AJ has to weigh 205 or under at 2pm tomorrow. That's only 8lbs from weigh in time. He won't be able to eat or drink much in order to make that weight and even after that there will be a limit of how much he will be able to eat before fight time without risking his feeling ill. At least he should be able to get on an IV drip and fully hydrate. God knows how all of this will affect his performance.

**getlucky2win** · 01-14-12, 05:57 AM

how much do rumble and vitor usually weigh when they enter the cage? i read aj walks around at 220 and i know fighters put back on alot of weight after weigh ins

Rumble weighs in at 204.5 today.

Fight is on and I took a little +115.

I think we see him fight just fine.

**sportsfanatic** · 01-14-12, 01:03 PM
