Khabib Nurmagomedov Forced To Strip Naked To Make Weight

Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the best fighters in the entire world and as the Lightweight champion, there have been numerous challengers looking to take his crown away. No one has been able to defeat Khabib, although, on Saturday at UFC 254, Justin Gaethje will be looking to change that. After defeating Tony Ferguson, Gaethje appears to be an appropriate challenger who has a solid chance of coming out and winning the fight. 

Today, both fighters had their weigh-in, which is always a day that brings about some anxiety for both fighters. Making weight can be difficult and at times, fighters go through extreme measures, just to cut the necessary weight. Khabib has had issues with this in the past, and today, he was forced to strip completely naked, just to hit the 155-pound cut-off weight. In the end, Khabib was able to hit his goal, and now, the fight will go on as planned.

Coming into this fight, it's become quite clear that Gaethje is the underdog, although this is a position he has proven to be quite comfortable in over the years. Regardless, Khabib will be determined to keep his title, and perhaps get himself on a collision course for a rematch with the likes of Conor McGregor.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
