UFC: The Unprofessional Fight Club

“Chips” Gastelum needs more salads!

On the eve of one of the most anticipated events ever in UFC PPV history (Diaz vs Silva… return of Anderson Silva from a nasty leg break), two of their fighters do not make weight in what has become a common issue with the organizations fighters.

Kelvin Gastelum and John Lineker could not make weight, with Gastelum 9, yes you read that correctly, nine pounds over the 171 weight class he was fighting at!ย  For those of you unaware as to how weight classes work, nine pounds is damned near another weight class.ย  (To read the entire article click here)

I am not sure how to refer to these immature children.ย  They certainly cannot be referred to as professionals as a professional follows through with whatever he agreed to do work wise (in this case a contract with weight classes).ย  Neither is the reference of martial artist appropriate because a TRUE martial artist would NEVER be so disrespectful to his opponent.ย  I mean lets be frank here… nine pounds over indicates that you did not even try to make weight.ย  Completely insulting.

Lineker needs to spend less time cuddling and more time on cardio

Dana White specifically and the entire MMA culture in general has some important issues to address here in the near future because taking money from hard working folks for this level of amateur horseplay is nothing more than horseshit!
