Dana White addressed the UFC 259 fights, ripped on the judges for their scoring, said what could be next for all of the championship bout winners, and more.
Saturday’s championship heavy fight card is set now that the UFC 259 weigh-in results are official.
All three title fights got the green light on Friday with all six athletes in the championship bouts stepping on the scale within the first 25 minutes of the two-hour weigh-in window.
While UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz weighed in at 205 pounds on the nose, the top end of the limit, his opponent took a remarkedly different approach.
When most fighters get as big as possible and then have a drastic weight cut during fight week, middleweight champ Israel Adesanya didn’t follow the norm. He stepped on the scale at 200.5 pounds, pizza box in hand, in his quest to become a two-division champion.
Despite the award, Cruz later said, “I’m not gonna lie. I’m scared of USADA.”
Cruz is slated to fight Casey Kenney on the UFC 259 prelims on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Casey Kenney (16-2-1) will look to take another step forward in his career when he faces Dominick Cruz (22-3) in a preliminary 135-pound bout at UFC 259.
Less is more, and
John Deering (Creators) has, IMHO, the best take on Andrew Cuomo because he isn’t dancing on the political grave or even pushing Cuomo into it.
Nor is he going on about the statistics on nursing home deaths, a scandal that wouldn’t have disappeared but would likely have been more of a campaign issue than a cause for beheading.
Where people die is a fraught statistic, starting with things as simple as the fact that you’re more apt to die of certain things at a major medical center than at a small local hospital, because, when the folks at the little hospital realize they can’t help you, they transport you to the med center which can’t help you either but you’re still alive when you get there.
