    Dana White was more than pissed that Anthony Johnson failed to make weight for his UFC 142 co-main event against Vitor Belfort on Saturday night (Jan. 14, 2012) at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

    “Rumble Johnson is not on weight today, and when I say he’s not on weight he’s way off weight. This is not the first time this has happened with Johnson. He moved up to 185-pounds so this wouldn’t happen to him at 170 pounds, and here we are in the same position. Belfort came in like a professional on weight, and Anthony Johnson comes in as a total unprofessional, way overweight. The stipulation is, Vitor does not want him to weigh more than 205 pounds by tomorrow. So we will see how this plays out. He’ll weigh in today and have to weigh in tomorrow. As a fighter, you are a professional. You are contracted to come in at a certain weight.”
    AJ was fined 20-percent of his purse, which now goes to Vitor Belfort, and is required to weigh less than 205-pounds on fight night, or his bout against the Brazilian will be canceled.
    Apparently, Johnson was on schedule to make weight and woke up in the morning at 191-pounds, well on his way to sweating off the additional water weight to get him to the contracted limit of 186-pounds, according to a report from Sergio Non at USA Today. Johnson later looked ill to his trainers.
    Johnson’s manager says:
    “They called in the local doctor, who made him drink a bunch of fluids to see if that made him feel better. About an hour later he started feeling better. By the time he started feeling better, it was an hour to weigh-ins. … There was no time to shed the weight.”

    That KO was gorgeous. I like when they don't swarm the opponent after that and just walks away. Much like Markhams KO.

    I havent really read any of the past pages in this thread... Any of you guys into K1? I'm really looking forward to seeing Mirko Cro Cop's return to K1 in the Spring.

    I'm into K1 and it's sad more than anything to see a legend like Cro Cop getting knocked out fight after fight when he should've retired at least 5 fights ago.

    Maybe coming back to kickboxing will yield different results. Hopefully.

    It will not. Surgeries are what have plagued him. Surgeries on his knees. That's why he hasn't thrown all, but 3-4 kicks in the last four years. Plus no one is scared of him anymore. Much like Mike Tyson and Fedor, Mirko fed off the fear of his opponents and walked them down. Now his opponents walk him down.

    The two other people who care about this thread probably already know this, but Rampage will be ending his UFC career this summer when he faces off again Shogun. Sick ass fight.

    However, what do you guys think?

    Its gonna be a fun fight. I am pretty confident Shogun will win though. Even though he lost his last fight to Dan Henderson he still showed alot of passion and hunger. Whereas Rampage hasn't showed that much will at all, and is more concerned about making some money.. That's the impression I get anyway. So probably a good thing he will leave the UFC, he looks done fighting with such high competition.

    Would be cool if Shogun came out as aggressively as he did when they met in Pride. Must be tough mentally to know a dude destroyed you like that once.

    It's weird to see JJ basically take all of the last great LHW champions (Shogun, Rampage, Machida and Evans) and easily dismantle them. It's just like...what the fuck dude. What the fuck.
