UFC 142 weigh in results: Anthony Johnson misses weight, tips scale at 197

Friday the 13th has once again proven to be an unlucky day.
At least for former UFC welterweight Anthony Johnson, who recently made the decision to transition to middleweight so that he could avoid the punishing weight cut to 170-pounds.
Didn't matter.
Johnson "Rumbled" onto the scale today (Jan. 13, 2012) at the UFC 142 weigh ins, coming in at a whopping 197-pounds, a full 11 pounds over the contractual limit of 186. As of now, his co-main event against Vitor Belfort is still on, and "The Phenom" will receive 20-percent of Johnson's fight purse.
Unfortunately Johnson, who will not be allowed to weigh any more than 205-pounds on fight night, has a history of failing to make weight, but his problems at welterweight were expected to be alleviated in the higher weight class, which at first glance appeared to be much better suited to his large frame.
So much for Plan B.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more on this developing story. In the meantime, you can get complete results from the UFC 142: "Aldo vs. Mendes" weigh in event, which took place earlier today at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by clicking here.

The camera adds 10 pounds.
In AJs case, it appears there was more than one camera around.

I WANT ANSWERS!!!!!!
I’m the biggest fag on mania, I’m more queer than a football bat, I wish i could get all brokeback with Cowboy, I should never pick a country boy to beat a thug. I was out of my mind and will never dis the Diaz brothers again. Actually Nate is the one that’s going to take Frankie’s title. Cruz Jackson is a demigod to all you bitches. and i am his bitch now, I have lost twice to him. Someone please pick a sig bet with him as i can no longer afford to take the beating i have taken.

Well either he's a lazy guy or he's too hurt to cut the weight.
And i don’t like either of those. Hopefully his scale at home is horrible and that’s why.

AJ didn't look like other fighters that walk up to the scale knowing they'll be over weight
He seemed a bit okay with it, like they all had already come to an understanding
Everyone was notified he missed weight before they even stepped on the scale

Did the UFC even
Give him another hour to drop the extra 11 lbs?! Shouldn’t have been much trouble…

I think johnson believed making the 186 limit would be easy and found out the hard way that’s not the case.
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
I don't think Van Arsedale would allow him to slack with the weight cut
He seems like a low tolerance kind of guy
allow him?
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Should I replace allow with a more appropriate word
Even though we both know it won’t change the basic meaning of my post?
what does your post mean?
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
That I don't think AJ missed weight out of sheer laziness...
Because his head coach is strict and would more than likely have been on his ass…
What I’m saying is, that I think AJ missed weight because of some other factor
It must of been a similar factor that caused him to come in at 176 at WW
nothing to do with coaching
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Damn it mang...I never said it was because of the coaching why he missed weight
Yeah it could be something similar to that…maybe an injury or something
you did mention his coach in your original post right?
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Yeah...but I said his coach would have been on his ass about making weight
Completely opposite to “his coaching had something to do with why he didn’t make weight”
Do you not see that?
Why are you always trying to bust balls though?
the coach comment was irrelevant
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
How is it irrelevant if all we're doing is speculating?
That makes no sense…
What exactly is it not relevant to?
its ok..we don't see eye to eye
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
No we don't...even when I'm trying to agree with you
I think you sign on to this forum just to be a jerk…
That’s really sad bruh
ok
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
I both understand your point and agree with it starry boy
I reckon there has to be another factor, because Van Arsdale wouldn’t let him slack on the weight cut. Not sure what the answer is but I think somethings going to come out
Sakuraba beats Silva, Aoki would beat Miller and Vitor Belfort didn't deserve his title shot - In my opinion, the craziest points I've read on this site...
I agree
He may have been injured somewhere and losing anymore weight would be crucial to a certain degree. That said, that is probably why they rolled out this new 205 lb limit rule cause I never heard of it prior to this weigh in.
vitor really wanted the fight so that was his stipulation
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Smart move on Belfort's part.
Rumble can’t recover and maybe looking like beef jerky tomorrow.

I've never heard of it ever in life
AJ isn’t going to be under scrutiny by Dana because he’s actually saving the card by fighting, if he was in fact hurt
dana has already released a statement explaining his displeasure with johnson's unprofessional behavior
he is already under scrutiny
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Back to my original post
Johnson believed it would be so easy for him to make weight and he paid the price for his assumption
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
it was the first comment I made in this thread
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
mmafighting.com
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
thats insane
how does someone even manage to miss weight by that much? do you know you wont make the weight so you dont even try?
He was confident he'd make weight and he ended up being over-confident and overweight
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
“The stipulation is, Vitor does not want him to weigh more than 205 pounds by tomorrow at like 2 o’clock in the afternoon,” White said. “So we’ll see how this thing plays out. He’ll weigh in today and have to weigh in tomorrow.”
…
“As a fighter, you are a professional. You are contracted to come in at a certain weight. This is not the first time this has happened with Johnson. He moved up to 185 pounds so this wouldn’t happen to him at 170 pounds, and here we are in the same position again. [Belfort] came in like a professional on weight, and Anthony Johnson comes in as a total unprofessional, way overweight.”
I was hopeful he would inject new life into the MW division
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Yeah I really don't understand
He always had no problem with 170 and now he’s weighing in at nearly 200 for a 185 bout? It doesn’t add up. Also what is that 205 lb rule Rogan mentioned?
he had a problem at ufc 104 when he came in at 176
"How much more success can I obtain? If the sky is the limit then I'm living amongst the clouds"-letter19
Rule is
on fight night, AJ cannot weigh more than 206, otherwise fight is off.
Damn Rumble better not blow it
I doubt he will cause it’s a pay day but what the fuck happened? Though it was going to be easier lol I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone miss that much weight. I wonder if him not exceeding 205 is going to take a tole on him tomorrow. I bet Vitor was like damn son!
wow... wow
means he can’t re-hydrate fully and he will have some issues I’m hoping..
I really hope vitor Knocks him the fuck out
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I'm will to be he actually cut to get to 197.
That means no recovery for the fight. I’ll bet right now he’ll come in over 206 right before the fight and it will get cancelled.
Regardless AJ and Marquardt will be fighting for a sandwich in the alley in a few weeks.

It’ll knock off the “Rumble” hype
You are correct on the 205.
And they’ll do it back in the locker room. But probably an hour or two before the fight.
Let's go vitor knock his fucking head into the amazon .
Puffy fuck , he never deserved to fight vitor in the first place

by rscott94 on Jan 13, 2012 4:44 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Embarrassing.
Rumble is one of my favorite fighters but this is embarrassing and disrespectful. All that talk about his camp and he misses weight almost by a full weight class.
What a joke. Tell us again Rumble how you are going for the MW title. If he beats Belfort now…..it is going to mean next to nothing. I hope the UFC shit cans him if he loses. Let him fight smaller show for awhile and earn his way back, maybe he would learn what it means to be a “professional” fighter with a wake-up boot from UFC.

Thats just unprofessional. He should have 50% of his purse go to Vitor and 25% to the athletic commission.

Rumble missing weight is funny as hell
if only because I joked about it beforehand just knowing in my head that he’d have no problem making 186. There has to be more to the story there; it can’t just be a “tough cut.” This is a dude who sometimes made welterweight haha. I had him over Vitor by decision, but I think I’m changing my mind on that one.
What a tool.
Sounds like he didn’t even try which sucks for vitor since cutting weight can take a lot out of you. Hopefully he didn’t have to cut much.
Rumble may as well have cheated at a weight like that. Its bullshit. im not happy about this

11 fucking pounds?
Wtf? How was this not known about or checked before the day of the fucking fight? In retrospect there’s a glaring lack of oversight in terms of checking a fighters weight. In boxing fighters often have weight checks in the months & weeks leading into fights. For fighters like Johnson & others who are skirting the rules by fight a divison or 2 under their natural weight, there should be an oversight commitee. I wonder how this is gonna be addressed. So much for him having a better weight cut…

i dont even understand your post...
Clearly you’ve misunderstood mine as well…my point is how can a fighter be so far over weight so close to showtime? Is there no member of his team or management who is tracking this? You know if you’re gonna make weight or be too close for comfort from at least a week out. Where was his weight at a week ago for him to come in so heavy? Is there no oversight by his coaches or management? Its unprofessional.

I realize AJ is in much better shape than me
it’s just amusing
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
hahah its funny we are calling him fat
but he has an 8-pack. He isnt fat, just stupid and unprofessional
I know
He’s in way better shape than I’ve been in a long time… best shape I was in was at the end of boot camp/senior year of football season…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
i bet .5 % of mania
have ever been in that good of shape
probably
I’ve had a four pack… best I’ve done. I don’t look like that now. I’m in ok shape, but nothing like that. I carry too much belly fat even though I have good cardio and can grapple/ spar for hours at a time.
I just have the belly
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I look better than that
at least I think so…. one or two fights maybe a little worse… when I have time to train and the good diet I have looked in shape…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I'm jacked to be honest but who cares
Look at Silva, BJ, Nick Diaz etc
I have a better looking body than Fedor, but I can't go 25 minutes of fighting.

I think Fedor has had a good career with fights against both shit opponents and worthy opponents. He has/had a good amount of both
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
His early career was good.
But in the last like 4-5 years it’s been a big fraud and mostly due to M-1.

I expected Palharas to pull
What Rumble just pulled considering he’s built like a fire hydrant
WOW
That’s damn near a whole weight div. I know he said he enjoyed the new diet for MW, but c’mon now, control that shit. Compensate for it, or at least make it somewhat close!!
Hope Vitor sends him packing…..very disrespectful. Dana might even cut his ass, being supposedly like a whole new beginning, and he blew it. By a mile.
Yeah if Dana is going to cut Torres for a TWEET
And not cut Rumble for completely fucking the whole logic to weight classes up, White doesn’t deserve his own business…
Ive always defended guys for cutting weight because
they can do whatever they want when it comes to a weight. I have 0 respect for guys that cant make weight. 1 pound isnt terrible, 5 is unacceptable. 12 is just fucking ridiculous.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Anybody know what he was telling Dana right after the weigh-in?
Mr. White didn’t seem too pissed, so I’m wondering if he knew in advance that this was going to happen.

WHy
I was rooting for him, but for not making weight is like rooting for a soccer team that has thirteen players against 11. No Fair
I was rooting for him when this fight was rumored to be happening. He missed weight oh well I’m not going to change my pick to vitor. Vitor makes excuses when he loses I bet if Johnson had come in making weight and vitor were to lose he’d have an excuse to why he lost.

It's pretty simple how this happened
Johnson, who has a history of knee problems, re-injured his knew during training and because of this he couldn’t train properly to cut the weight.
You know, some days I forget that I have a memory.
I heard it's more of an elbow problem.
It keeps bending and bringing a fork full of food to his face.

????
I believe that he made a mistake in how he decided to go about moving up in weight. He decided to eat more and get bigger. What he should have done was do the same he was doing at welterweight and instead cut less weight, because in my opinion he looked big already for middleweight.

Is he not going to do something about this? Rumble is fun to watch fight but this seems like a slap in the UFCs face—unless he’s injured or something. If that’s the case, Dana needs to say something.

He should be cut – if he was hurt then the UFC should have been notified before and move it to 195 – Vitor made the weight, and AJ did not – he should be cut
He's already making his debut at 185 against Vitor Belfort, the most dangerous opponent he's ever faced
And he’s fighting him in Brazil…
I’d say that’s punishment enough
Hope you're right Starr cause if
Rumble upsets everyone I’m comin’ for ya, JK but still I hope Vitor get’s another back of the head KO! Only Belfort can do those, if anyone else does… Dey gay
yeah he should be cut
because you know everything that’s going on backstage and whether or not they knew about this ahead of time.

Depends what kind of mistake.
Missing weight is one thing that gets you cut, he misses weight often and missed it badly. I sure hope there’s a good reason or else getting cut does seem like a good punishment. His job is to make weight at 185 pounds and he failed to do so, those who fail at work get fired.
P4P TOP 5 1. Nick Diaz 2. Nate Diaz 3. Fedor 4. Overeem 5. Junie Browning … Also Nate AND Nick will both be champions of thier respective brackets. Dont Fuck With Mean Mug he will make you slob all over your most hated fighters knob 209 BITCHES!!!!!!

if i keep makin is mistakes at work
I would imagine I would be fired. Also if I am warned about a wrongdoing and repeat that mistake at work, im sure i would be fired.
but you would also be cool with someone running around calling for you to be fired right?

maybe wait till after the event to cut him
The card seems a bit dull. Its tough to get pumped for a Jose fight even though I’m generally a Team Alpha Male fan.

lol i called that one
my post from a few days ago
The way rumble was looking a few weeks ago I’m worried he wont make weight. Guy looks like 205 would be a tough cut

Rediculous!
Now, this is a lose-lose for Johnson.
If he wins, well, he should because he is almost a full weight class higher.
If he loses, he is on thin ice with the UFC.
Maybe he decided to get bigger and cut down to Middleweight (That was the plan at least)
That way he’s basically doing what he did at WW but just a class up which is a bad idea.

Are you sure that stare down picture is between Vitor & AJ?
Dana White looks absolutely livid in that pic. Maybe he should of been in the stare down instead of Vitor.
Hopefully Vitor knocks this Assclown out. Then Dana gives him a nice swift kick in the ass on his way out the door.
Guys a fucking joke
Dana should just tell him, “You’re a heavyweight until you can can prove you actually know how to diet and cut weight” His opponents shouldn’t have to deal with this, its truly ridiculous
Sakuraba beats Silva, Aoki would beat Miller and Vitor Belfort didn't deserve his title shot - In my opinion, the craziest points I've read on this site...
johnson was betting vitor would take the fight no matter what. johnson’s scared to want that much of a weight advantage. what a joke.
comes in 6 lb’s over two other times.
in the biggest fight of his life, in a weight class 15 pounds north…he comes in 11 pounds over.
this guy is a disgrace. he had no intention of making weight. at all. period.
Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.

Dumb Question
why don’t these clowns fight at the weight they walk around in?
You've been Dana'd
they think they will have
an advantage
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
Unfortunately until the judgin criteria changes it's always going to be a problem.
"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

I fight at 205
and I usually walk around 210-212
I want to fight at 185, and walk around at 190. I dont’ see the point in cutting a lot of weight…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
If you get bigger than the other guy it makes lay-n-pray a lot more possible; don't you think?
What’s your opinion? I’ve never fought in the cage; only the kitchen.

I don’t fight in a cage either but if I did, I’d want to cut max 10lbs (and that would be over two weeks before the fight). I wouldn’t want to drain my energy or risk injury or health problems.
Maybe they should explore the possibility of making these fighters fight at their walk around weight. It’s not fair to the fans (who essentially are paying their purses) to have so many injuries or not seeing a fighter at his potential because he is sick because of an irresponsible weight cut
