Anthony "Catch Weight" Johnson

It surprises me when Anthony Johnson actually makes weight. Missing the middleweight mark of 186 by tipping the scales at 194 leaves me baffled as to how he ever fought at welterweight. I thought the move from welterweight to middleweight would put an end to this but he continues to miss weight by even larger amounts. Leaving aside the damage he is doing to his own body by cutting so much, his behavior is disrespectful to his opponents, and turned him into a joke for the fans. I will leave the decisions to the fighters and their nutritionists about how much weight is healthy to cut as long as they do so successfully, but the key word is “successfully”. After two missed outings he has proven he does not have the discipline to fight as a middleweight and a move back to welterweight is laughable. Try again at 205, please.
