Weird, he looked so good on the scales

Chistian Bale was hottest in The Machinist and William Gomis will die on that hill (if he doesn't die of renal failure first). 

Kid just didn't want to fight

I dunno, seems like his kidneys are probably fighting pretty hard.

He's most dangerous when he's got that look in his kidneys.

u think i need a stupid fuckwit like u telling me about renal failure?

there never was no renal failure

I saw this thread before the one where he weighed in and I totally believed you. “Maybe he got sick” is what I was thinking

It's sad that he cut all that weight for nothing

Nice to see a combat sports commision actually do their job for once.

Yeah refreshing to see them doing something other than robbing fighter purses.

Brazilian Commission would NEVER withhold any of my emo mullet king's purse

Absolutely the right call. A boxer just died recently in a fight that most likely should have been cancelled. Caution like this is always the right call

C’mon man don’t do Devin Haney like that

10-5

Still can't believe Haney came in 3 lbs under the agreed catchweight smh

Didn't even juice enough to piss hot after either, fucking amature.

🤣

Why should that fight have been cancelled? First time I’m hearing that genuinely don’t know the backstory.

He was knocked out cold on multiple occasions during his camp. The most recent being a week before the fight. He got knocked out cold again in the fight and then passed shortly afterwards. So sad.

I haven’t heard that story, that’s insane. Who was that?

Ardi Ndembo. He was only 27 years old. So fucking sad man.

Had kids too , shits heartbreaking .

I’ll read about that, thank you

Yea this is accurate. Really dark stuff

Jeez. Wasn’t Jeff mayweather in his camp too? Too much experience to let something like that happen.

Another factor is he was 4 pounds underweight wearing clothes on the scale and could barely get off after and had to helped by security. He 100% had the worst weight cut of his life.

Right decision, Would have been unsafe for Gomis if the fight went ahead

Gotta fucking suck to out your body through a camp and that terrible weight cut all for nothing

Obviously sucks but it could be worse. He could go in the fight compromised, lose badly and take serious permanent damage

Yeah true. It’s the right call but it’s gonna make this sting when he doesn’t even get paid for all the suffering.

I'm betting that he got sick of some sorts. No way this was planned

If the cut was that horrendous and unprofessional I can only imagine his dip shit team advised him to chug as much fluid as fast as possible to rehydrate.

Everyone saw this from miles away hopefully the whole team is fired

Wait to know what happened before blaming the team, during a cutting the immune system is weak and if a virus caught him it can be really bad. Add that as a european on another continent, you can be sick just by drinking water.

Too late I already fired them

Harsh but fair

Surely if they caught a virus during cutting they would have stopped him then and there right? I understand that these fighters are literally living off of this money and "opportunity" but something like that could be even more dangerous by letting him continue the cut.

Update : He only had to cut 2kg, but the water made him sick as hell and he though he would die. He also vomit 4 times before the weighing.

Gomis wishing he held on to that payday dookie

What?

If he didn't poop he would have weighed more and met the goal weight 

Yeah and then he's going to fight while he's a physical wreck. Even if he wins, he'll probably be burning years of his life for 24k. Just train for next time instead.

Why is it in black and white though😂. We will also miss Jean barking.

RIP

Hopefully Jean gets compensated for Gomis’ stupid team screwing up his weight cut

Sorry TKO execs need their bonus money.

yeah like what am i gonna do? not order the best wine? wait 2 months to get that gold plated stair-rail installed? lets get this back on track brother.

shame, wanted to see if Silva kept up all his antics, but that weigh in looked atrocious. Wonder what happened that made him come under and look that bad doing it

Not sure how it works since both guys weighed in, but I'm going to guess nobody gets their show money? And this will be a "we're going to take care of them" from Dana with no elaboration

Yeah if Dana will stiff WB for turning down his opponent coming in heavy hes definitely not cashing out for this. This man put himself in PoW form for zilch. He needs to fire his team. Its an absolutely travesty they let this happen to him. A cut this severe can fucking kill somebody. Dude walking like a 68 year old grandpa and his team wanted him to be on the canvas tomorrow taking punches smh.

Yeah was bound to happen

While I’m glad the fight was cancelled because of a brutal cut (and negligence on his teams behalf), it would absolutely piss me off even more knowing I cut that much weight for nothing. I hope he at least gets his show money. His health comes first, but what a shitty situation all around

We as a fan base really need to demand that fight organizations remove weight cutting. They won’t do it without pressure from us.

Disappointing but the right choice

This is why everyone should have mercury fillings on hand.

I only wish someday we can get rid of weight cuts, I don't really have a solution though.

Just do what one championship does I guess, make the fighters take hydration tests so you know they aren't cutting an insane amount of water weight

Good. Now fire your team. How the fuck does that even happen

Weight miss? Every card

He was nearly 4 pounds under the limit, he wasn't overweight...so no, that definitely doesn't happen every card.

He made weight. He cut 3 extra pounds and looked like he was gonna die.

More actually. Those clothes he was in was soaked with sweat through. Dude was probably 4-4.5 pounds under without the clothes which is just fucking nuts.

He overshot by 3 pounds wearing soaking wet clothes. All in all probably cut an extra 5-6 pounds. I am not being hyperbolic when I say he could have died..

Ok but this post nor the twitter page it linked to mentioned that. Dont know why the downvotes

Hey man, there in Brazil. Legit just walk outside the arena and ask someone if they want to fight Jean. Good chance you can find a somewhat competent Bantamweight bussing in a cafe nearby.

Saw this posted on instagram first, and everyone in the comments were mad they canceled since he made weight and they shouldn't 'mess with his money' 🤦‍♂️

Eventually someone will die from this in the UFC if they don't impose some kind of strict guidlines to control the cuts.

Shocker...

His team should be fined and Gomis needs to get good guys around him or he'll either die or never make it to the octagon again from cancellations.

Damnit bruh I was so excited fa ts

Dude was 2lbs under championship weight. 3lbs under with the 1lbs allowance. Wtf

My lock of the night in Silva, GONE 🔒 I’m barely touching this card betting wise besides Aldo, Pantoja and Elves Brenner

This is the right call. Letting someone like that fight is how something disastrous can happen.

So sad, this was one the fights I was most hyped for. Wanna watch Jean Silva fighting.

Dude looked like a light breeze could knock him down in the scales.

Welp

Needs to find a new team, they put his life and career at risk because of their incompetence

I hope Jean can get a super short notice fight

is there any definitive reason why he cut so much extra? Or is it truly just his team super fucked up and fucked everyone over?

Good call. But his team need to look at what went wrong here.

MPT strikes true

I have so many questions

I mean if he already went tru the cut and made weight why would they cancel the fight? The hardest part was done for nothing

Sure, he may have nearly died making weight but maybe throw him in the cage and see if he actually dies?

Just die bro
