Not making the weight

[adamrobertk]

I've had a few games now that have ran on for a while yet i've never seen any instance of a fighter not making the weight for a fight. Anyone had this? Can it actually happen?

I've had some fighters telling me upon scheduling that they couldn't make the weight in time but it has never occured once a bout was set so far.

I've only had that in the demo, where I tried to put as many events on as possible. But no, I've had two games that have gone past 2000 and not once has it happened. It's pretty rare in real life, anyway.

It was a fight for a TV show which I scheduled maybe 10 days in advance.

[QUOTE=BrokenCycle;363882] It's pretty rare in real life, anyway.[/QUOTE] It's not THAT rare, though. I'm too lazy to actually look it up but in 2007 there were at least four or five guys in the UFC alone who didn't make weight. So it does happen every few months or so. The only time it really mattered was Travis Lutter I guess because his match against Anderson had to be a non-title match after he was unable to make 185. Plus he seriously pissed Dana off ;) Anyway, my point is that maybe it could happen a little more frequently in the game.
