Yigit is a late replacement with 2 weeks notice and is a 140 lb fighter. Heard he didn't have a good camp though, and the fact he didn't even make 140 is pretty telling... Not sure why they took it knowing likely the cut would be a struggle.

Damn. He mentioned he's a small 140lber and 135 is his preferred weight. At the final presser, I was surprised that Yigit didn't look emaciated. I guess we know why now, he hadn't cut the weight.
Will be an interesting Matchup, but if Rolly loses he has a built-in excuse that he was fighting an opponent a weight class above his.Comment

Can't be overly mad at Yigit missing weight. He's a 140lb fighter being asked to drop to 135lbs on 2 weeks notice.
But then again if he couldn't make the weight he should have passed on the fight.Last edited by SilverMiles; 07-16-2021, 05:08 PM.Comment

I know literacy is an issue with this site at times with the 7th grade education floating about. Did anyone other than the single commenter bother reading the article?Comment

It was read, but when you sign a contract you honor it otherwise you deserve the ridicule. I would have given him a pass up to 3 pounds max but 5? Nah.Comment
