Uriah hall makes sense
Yoel and rockhold could be a sad ending to Silvas career. I don't want to see that
Yoel and rockhold should fight if anything, probably not for the interim belt though
If Yoel wants an interim belt he needs to fight a contender on a win streak

Depends on the contract. In terms of no compete, do they mean no competing in other MMA organizations only? Or does that mean any combat sports in general.
Cats do BJJ tourneys all the time but I know they still need special permission from Dana.

I'm thinking it had to be in the contract. Especially with the promotion a boxing match would command, I can't imagine it being OK for one of his biggest stars to make money that much money for another promotion without Dana's consent
Grappling tourneys are one thing, boxing is a completely different animal

Very true. But it's a win for the UFC if they let him fight Floyd because it will just bring more exposure to the UFC.

Less than 10 minutes left for the weigh ins and neither Rumble or Cormier have showed up.

And Cormier loses his title on the scales, weighed in at 206.2lbs.
Rumble still a no show with 2 minutes to go.

Nevermind, somehow he weighed in again at 205. Suspect as hell because he was naked the first time.
Rumble weighed in at 203.8.
I expect there to be some talk about the scale.

I have no doubt they'll say it's up to the state athletic commission and that it was within 5 minutes.

There's a lot of talk about Cormier pushing down on the towel for the second weigh in. Folks are trying to say the guys holding the towel held firm to allow Cormier to push and make the limit. Seems a little unlikely.
It is interesting that the amount Cormier magically lost is the exact amount Rumble was under by, 1.2lbs.

Just rewatched, OK what the hell is going on? How did DC lose that weight in the span of a few minutes, he weighed in naked both times
The crowd reaction when DC made weight
the applause was loud as hell
Headliners made weight at the buzzer

Seems real weird but who cares the fight needs to take place lol. Is there no second attempt allowed in all states or just NY? I'm a lil confused on that
Somehow, though, Cormier came back just 2:24 later and weighed in at 205, losing 1.2 pounds in that short amount of time. Cormier put his hands on the towel while on the scale and appeared to put some of his weight on it, though it’s unclear if it affected the reading. He needed the towel, because he stripped down to attempt to make the weight.
The New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) considered the weight valid. Typically, in the early weigh-in format the UFC started last year fighters are not given a second attempt to weigh-in.

The NYSAC said a second weigh in within 2 hours is an option for those who missed weight in a TITLE fight only. Guess the NYSAC plays by their own rules.
Weird why Rumble weighed in so late when he was 1.2 pounds under. Maybe he wanted the fight anyway and knew DC was having trouble. I believe its in NY where you have to be within a certain percentage of weight to each other for the catchweight to happen, or the fight would be cancelled like Cerrone?

Yes, on the second statement. This is why Cerrone should have weighed in after Gastelum
There should be unlimited amount of re-trys if there's only a 2 hour limit anyway IMO. For any fight, whether it's title or non-title
Can't commissions play by their own rules though? NY commission seemed extra stingy on everything when MMA made its debut there. Would like to see them relax

Maybe Daniel just went and dropped a 1.2 lb deuce.

Bruh.
How does a dehydrated fighter take an 1
z dump in 2 minutes and 24 seconds time total. He would either have to have been prairie dogging while he weighed in naked or he's loose as all get out.
