Oliveira was pushing the narrative that the UFC scale weighed him right on so it wasn't his fault. I get that but Oliveira has a long history of missing weight. [Reply]

I'm probably watching. Good card. This kind of takes the air out of the balloon a bit but it still should be entertaining. Oliveira would've been tough enough for Gaethje even without the extra weight, he's a beast. Can't believe he missed weight by a half pound. I think Oliveira vs. Khabib would be a great fight. Hopefully Khabib comes back and makes it happen, no idea if he will.
Wouldn't surprise me if this is Gaethje's ride into the sunset, he mentioned recently that he thought he only had one more good fight in him. One of my favorite UFC fighers of all-time. Lived close to me when I was in Denver metro, and went to HS in Arizona. Good dude. [Reply]
