Le or someone in the know would have to weigh in but in boxing no way this fight would go off.

That’s a huge weight advantage of about 5% body weight

7.5lbs is crazy. it's fine if we are talking a pound or even 2 but 7.5 is crazy. it's like he missed it on purpose.

The bout will go on as Diaz won’t care if it’s a title fight or not. He just wants to do the Stockton Slap.

I know in boxing a big portion of your purse goes to your opponent if you pull something like this. Who knows what UFC will do since their purses are basically secret

Yikes! I was chatting with my friend and he’s like it’s not a title fight. I was thinking Chimaev was already champ. Oh well, guess fight ain’t gonna happen then.
