MJ missed weight by 1lb. but Lobov isn't going to garnish his purse out of respect for the fact he took the fight on short notice. When Johnson beats him he might have a different opinion on it.
I think commissions should not be allowed to fine fighters if they miss weight when they take a fight on a months notice or less.

Anthony Smith looked super impressive vs Volkan. Volkan proving once again that if he hits the ground, he's super beatable. Hopefully Anthony can work on his gas tank a little bit because with his striking he's a threat to anybody in the LHW division. Would like to see him get a crack at the winner of December's title fight.
