Blackman Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 If a fighter comes in overweight, the title is stripped from him at the weigh-ins. However, once he is beaten by his opponent, the latter won't win the title! How outrageous is this? Talk about screwing your opponent. I've had it happen with Claremont (or rather the AI: I don't let people who "can't cut it" near the title) who lost but the winner wasn't awarded anything. I assume it's impossible to strip the title after the match (without counting it as a legit defense), but maybe there's another solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailthebulldog Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 To be fair this is how it works IRL. One I can think of is Chael Sonnen vs. Paulo Filho in WEC. I'm pretty sure Filho wasn't stripped after the fight. It also doesn't count as a defense for the champion. Ex: Silva vs. Lutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
