Some fighters take it as a sign of disrespect when their opponents miss
weight. Fans certainly don’t like it, and promoters generally aren’t
amused, either.
Athletic commissions not only don’t like it, they hit a fighter where it really hurts – the pocketbook.
But one-time title challenger Dan Hardy, who meets
massive weight-cutter Anthony Johnson on Saturday at
UFC Fight Night 24, doesn’t really care one way or the other. Johnson said he’ll make the limit, but Hardy said he’s fighting either way.
