What’s the point of Diaz doing the 2nd day weigh in? Might as well pull a Jacobs and blow it off. He’s not getting the belt regardless. Also the 10% was “split evenly between the other fighter and the CSAC.” What a bunch of thieves. Give the whole forfeited fine to the fighter going up against a guy with a huge weight advantage.

Actually it's only two pounds now, 139.6 to 137.6. Rakhimov got a big purse bump and can claim the belt with a victory. It's a win, win for him. Shame on Diaz but at this point it's only two pounds so no excuses for Rakhimov if he loses!
