I read that he didn't make weight. By a lot. 5lbs.

He did! I saw the weigh in video and he looked like he was about to pass out due to the cut. He needs to be 185 - plain and simple. He had to fork over 20% of his purse to his opponent. I honestly think there should be stiffer penalties when someone misses weight by that much. There was a total of 3 fighters that were over weight for tonight's fights.

Yep. And Johnson missed out on a $60k bonus for KOofN. Apparently he was ineligible because of not making weight.

He said he had a knee injury that kept him from cutting. I'm still not sure he shouldn't just move up anyway.
