Apparently GSP couldnt get to the 170 lbs limit for this fight, he was 170.9 lbs so they added new goldenboy/Canada rule so GSP could go defend his title.
I wonder why the rule suddenly changed..

We already know you hate Diaz as you pointed out in every thread about Diaz or GSP.
GSP won that fight fair and square. But if true this is just lame. Favorisme for certain fighters is a very bad thing.

Not totally sure but I think for a title fight you have to be bang on with no pound or ounces extra than the weight.

Lol gsp would win the fight 999 times out of 1000
the 1 time he wouldn't win he'd get poked in the eye and it'd be a no contest.
these diaz fans are upset cause diaz lost which leads me to believe they actually thought diaz could win
.9 over? if diaz complained about that he wouldn't be fighting for the title, simple as that.

Ofcourse. But he was 1 lb over the weight limit, every other fighter would be punished but they make some extra rule for GSP. Not good.

U mad at Diaz, ok no problem. But you should react to the point of this thread, 'GSP missing weight' We already know your opinion about the fight.

I thought you had to be on the dot for title fights? Maybe they told Nick and he didn't care so they proceeded as so.

Okay.
GSP weighs in at .9 over.
Diaz has the option to either
a) accept and fight for the title
or b) fight gsp in a 5 round non-title bout
smarter idea: fight gsp in a 5 round non-title bout...

This sorta thing is usually allowed up here in Canada... Why? Because we're the nicest nation in the world, and we get a pass. This sorta thing would never apply to British or American fighters

So GSP was .o9 over weight,
Has this ever happened in New Jersey or Vegas ?
I always thought you had to be 205, 155, 145 etc for title fights in other words on the dot.
and the one pound allowance is for none title fights

No problem.... I do like the stone system you guys have on that island. It always makes me laugh when Buffer announces how many stones someone weighs.

UFC on FOX 5.
Three fighters – including main-event title challenger Nate Diaz – failed to hit their weights on their first attempts and were given two hours to cut the additional weight.
Diaz weighed in at 155.6 pounds for his lightweight title fight against Benson Henderson. For a title fight, there is no one-pound allowance. Diaz initially appeared slightly perplexed that he needed to make 155 on the button for the lightweight title fight. He returned shortly after the official weigh-in event, reportedly after using the bathroom, and weighed 155.2 – still with about 100 minutes on the clock to get to 155.
On his third attempt, Diaz hit 155 pounds, UFC officials
confirmed
to MMAjunkie.com. He hit the mark less than an hour after his first attempt.

The UFC made a wrong move here. Giving special threatments to fighters.

Not a Diaz fan as I think he is an over rated loud mouthed punk but this is total BS, no other champion has been given such a pass, he should have been made to either cut that one pound or face a fine or Diaz get part of his purse like has happened in numerous other cases like this. Only the Golden Boy in his home country has gotten such preferential treatment.
