His underware is to tight made him sick
Of course not making weight is bad and should be punished like it has been all the time by giving 20% of their purse to the other fighter. Why suddenly did dana decide to cut someone from the UFC 1 day BEFORE the fight instead of letting him fight, penalizing him and then after the fight cut him cuz now tavares doesn’t get to fight and maybe, just maybe he needed that paycheck + he could have rcvd even more money from hallman not making weight. Granted I don’t know the whole story, maybe tavares refused to fight hallman cuz he would be bigger but that has never happened before and tavares is a gamer. Dana better be prepared to do this to all fighters, that includes anyone in the main or co-main event, just to keep things fair! NOT
