    yikes 3 guys is bad, but Filho being 7 pound over??? That's Gina carano territory there and totally inexcusable.

    I gotta wonder about his mental state going into this fight.

    It would seem unfair for sonnen to have his titleshot lost because the champ missed weight. I would think its still a title fight.

    So now it is a definate that Filho will not be fighting at this event. It does make you question what they do now, Sonnen gets his title oppurtunity taken away through no fault of his own. Will be interesting to see what they do about this.

    Fihlo had 2 hours to make weight but still weighed in at 189, so this bout is now a 3 round non-title bout. Picks that were submitted and have predictions for the fourth or fifth rounds will be considered the 3rd round to make things fair.
