I hadn't seen that Nate Diaz is being investigated for assaulting Clay Guida before this came out. Which is both entirely unacceptable and completely hilarious.

What a dummy.
And fuck the UFC for trying to hard to build this thing around him because he had one great fight against Cowboy.
BUT as we have seen, IF he gets the KO, no one will remember the weight problems and he could get his shot.

Honestly , I wouldn't be mad at Wonderboy for bailing on this fight at this point.

He didn't need to take this fight in the first place , Till didn't earn it. Beat Cowboy then sidelined for almost a year for no reason whatsoever.

Big difference to me between Till missing weight and say Yoel missing weight after taking a short notice fight against Rockhold. He doesn't deserve d*ck if he ends up fighting and finishing Wonderboy

Is it cancelled? And if it were to be cancelled then I think it would be because Wonderboy declined to fight him.
There hasn't been an official statement so far.
I think this is still the latest news:

"Listen, Till called us out! He's been a bit disrespectful during the course of promoting this fight. We came across the world, into HIS HOME TOWN, in front of HIS PEOPLE, AND WE MAD WEIGHT! Stephen is a fighter and would never want to disappoint the fans (short of illness) and came to fight! His management is working out the details," Ray Thompson, Stephen Thompson's father, to MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani.

Ariel is saying the fight is good to go for tomorrow, with these caveats however:

Thompson vs. Till is on. Here are the terms of the deal, per sources:
- Till must forfeit 30% of his purse and bonuses to Thompson.
- Till can't weigh more than 188 lbs tomorrow.
- Weigh in is at 1 pm tomorrow before departing to arena.
- WB's team can be present at weigh in.

"If Till misses weight, another negotiation will have to happen but they will cross that bridge when they get there."

Wonderboy's getting paid.

Really hoping for Wonderboy to derail this hype train. This boy belongs at 185 at the very least. Till would be huge next to someone like Gastelum too.

188? Lol dudes probably at near 200 right now .

That's a huge health risk day of fight , just cancel this bullshiet.

That is straight shady business by UFC. Now fans can't cancel their tickets if something goes wrong tomorrow .

Till walks around at like 205 or 210 I think, he should just fight at 185.

Thank god. Was half expecting it to get cancelled at the last minute.

I'm really not a fan of the "weigh less than this on fight day" agreement for a missed cut. Just call the fight off, don't counter an unfair size advantage with an unfair hydration advantage.

Then make the weight. Don't brag about being too big for the weight class if you can't make the weight. Hopefully they did do something about this extreme weight cutting soon.

Knight is so fucking god awful. He could have ended the fight in the first round but his fight IQ is so bad.
