After a crazy afternoon, UFC 210 is finally official following a wild weigh-ins session. During a highly controversial moment, light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier missed weight for his main event title fight.
Moments later, Anthony Johnson weighed in at 203.8 pounds. Strangely, this was the same margin under the limit as ‘DC’ had gone over. Literally two minutes later, Cormier was back on the scales and had dropped from 206.2 to 205 even.

That’s Pearl On The Left… 🙂
Smoking hot woman’s strawweight Pearl Gonzalez was told she wasn’t able to fight because of her breast implants. No, seriously.
