The weigh-ins for UFC 210 did not go without their controversy. Light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier landed on the scales overweight. The fighter needed to lose 1.2 pounds and returned minutes later at exactly 205 pounds. The swift change in weight has become a popular topic of conversation.
The controversy behind the champion’s sudden dip in weight largely comes from his alleged use of a towel to manipulate his weight on the scale. The incident has become known as “towel-gate.”
Now, fighters and fans are chiming in with their opinions on the controversial moment. Among them, UFC color commentating veteran Joe Rogan has posted a video of fellow comedian Joey Diaz giving his thoughts on the moment.
“Listen, if you cheat and you get away with it, it ain’t cheating.” Diaz jovially remarked.
