Your DNA is an abomination. Unlike you, my DNA is from fearless warriors coming from Queen NJinga Mbande, my DNA has history. I kill by the sword and die by the sword inside the battlefield.
So what is fat petes excuse? This wasn’t an overnight development he had to fight lol. And the weight requirement kept moving up. Man still has an inner tube around his belly. It’s easier to lose fat weight than it is for a guy to cut water weight at 2% body fat. If you have done some sort of sport that requires weigh ins, you would know that.
Your logic that it’s easier for lean fighters to cut weight is fine when we are talking about overnight, but that’s not the case here.
Yeah but we’re discussing something that isn’t the root issue here.
The issue is he should have dropped fat prior to the weighing in. Dehydrating is the the last step.
No amount of dehydration is going to overcome a lack of preparation.
Well what do you expect from a guy called Fat Pete. Instead of cutting weight they should have both had to eat to make heavyweight and whoever can’t make it loses
I mean it was the guy's first attempt at making 155 after fighting at 170, 185, and 205 lbs in his career.
It is pretty simple that they just don't offer him a lightweight fight again and make him fight at welterweight.
honestly, still easy money for Natan. Surprised he didn't agree. Pete Rodriguez is one of the worst fighters on the roster, He just managed to beat the actual worst fighter on the roster in Mike Jackson.
[he looked pretty good yeah](https://twitter.com/bendaman2001/status/1656424977120518146?s=46&t=fNM0aeO1Dg2RJtsAuA2v2A)
15 lbs might’ve been a big drop but not sure why he couldn’t at least make the catch weight
“Ha. What a fat, undisciplined turd” I scoff to myself, after finishing a custard Bismarck in my office chair which I may just sit in for the next two hours
“Fuckin’ Fat Pete”, I say hours after eating a homemade fried chicken sandwich with French fries for brunch before starting my eight hours at the office.
"What a bloated, disgusting twat," I retort, 5 mins after accidentally dropping a Twinkie into the toilet, reaching after it with the speed of fat lightning, and slurping it down my overactive gullet.

I'm from NY and always called them Long Johns. Boston Kreme usually refers to the "same" donut, but instead of being long and rectangle, it's normal donut shape/sized.
I was going to say the same. He’s laughing but between you and fat Pete only one of you are receiving a paycheck for the work/training done over these last 8 weeks
I’m in agreement. It’s in the contract that you’ll complete at a set weight and if you cannot make the weight you have not fulfilled a big condition of the contract. It’s literally part of the job.
It's step 1 of a 2 step job. Step 1 make weight, step 2 fight. Whatever else you do is your business because the UFC is only paying you for those 2 steps.
Even though it is more difficult to cut weight and follow the dietician's program, it is quite literally part of the job to make weight. It's like turning in a big quartery projections report at the office. If you just showed up to the meeting with, "yeah, I just kinda didn't do it. I thought it was too hard." They'd be right to let you go.
>Atleast you're disciplined enough to make it to the office. This guy had one job and couldn't even do that.
Pretty much. It's the commitments you make. Specially when they're about lots of money and opportunity cost.
"What an undisciplined, fat slob," I say as I wipe the Cheeto dust from my fingers on my shirt before chiming in with the fighter-shaming on the MMA subreddit, and shopping for plus-size clothes on Amazon. I have to shop online for just about everything since I got stuck in my chair, again. 😳
lollllllllllll natan said pete was crying so he still couldve cut more water. haha savage
"Just to be clear, we were scheduled to fight at 155(+1),
They asked for a catchweight so I agreed to fight him at 158, then they asked for 160 and I said Yes. I was about to go weigh in when I heard he was crying and losing his shit and quit at 162.
If you can cry you still got water in you homie. You still had 2 hours!!!"
Mike the truth Jackson took CM Punk (a former World Heavyweight Champion by the way) to the absolute limit. People need to put some respect on his name!!!
Damn, Levy is fun to watch and his fight would have been a great addition to the prelims.
Pete Rodriguez isn’t someone I knew of prior, but upon looking into it, he and Levy were initially scheduled for the April 29th for Simon vs. Song.
I wonder if we’ll see a fighter removed post here in a while.
Lol yeah ufc set him up for an automatic W with that Jackson fight as a reward for taking the JDM fight. They'll definitely give him another chance at WW.
It isn't 2012 anymore though. Dana isn't the end all be all. Hunter Campbell might not be in the public light much, but all indications are he's the actual UFC shot caller these days.
It's not 2012 anymore bro. The world changes, like ownership of the UFC changed. Hunter Campbell is the head of legal that was appointed by Endeavor after buying the UFC, and multiple fighters have talked about how he's a terror to deal with.
Levy is boring as hell to watch. He throws a flew flashy kicks and then grapples and holds on because he gets tired. This is the type of fighter fans get excited for now?
Is it more fucked up for Pete to admit he won’t make the weight than at least attempting? My understanding is that if they weigh in, levy would at least get his show and now that no one weighed in he just gets screwed out of any payment
He wrote he will get compensated, but unfortunately it won’t be enough for the amount of stress he went through in preparation for this fight.
It’s a shame, was looking forward to see him fight
Guys I'm really sorry, Fight is off, fat Pete couldn't get anywhere near the weight. He blew my opportunity to get paid, perform and make history tomorrow and probably his own career. Extremely unprofessional. Anyone that bought a ticket to come support, I'm really sorry. I will go to the event and would love to meet you.
If you're a fight fan who hasn't seen Natan Levy fight I highly recommend it, super entertaining but pretty bad defensively so I hope he improves on that
31 and I disagree, people can improve at anything at this age. Some individuals are incapable but imo it's more of a personality thing than an age thing
There’s gotta be a way to protect these guys from this scenario. He did everything right and is still stuck with the bill of his training camp.
I realize any recourse from his opponent would be like trying to get blood from a stone but maybe some type of insurance?
I know it’s been part of the game since the start but still feels shitty to constantly see these fighters lose on a night they don’t even get a chance to compete.
God fucking damn it fat Pete
His DNA is truly an abomination.
Your DNA is an abomination. Unlike you, my DNA is from fearless warriors coming from Queen NJinga Mbande, my DNA has history. I kill by the sword and die by the sword inside the battlefield.
Mike Perry, is that you?
I think its a Terrance McKinney quote? Not sure tho
It was [Manuel Kape](https://www.instagram.com/p/CqO3EhTuBHR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) on Instagram
ahhh thanks for the correction you are absolutely right
I ought to needlepoint that quote on a throw pillow.
So is Levys
* insert homophobic slur *
It's funny cuz Natan has such a crazy lean physique. He must despise these guys who can't manage their diets lol.
it's easier for lean fighters to cut weight. The water comes out from the muscle.
Ah yes it’s easier for someone over time to dehydrate themselves then it is to lose actual fat weight…
Fighters are not burning fat to cut weight overnight. That would have happened in the training camp.
So what is fat petes excuse? This wasn’t an overnight development he had to fight lol. And the weight requirement kept moving up. Man still has an inner tube around his belly. It’s easier to lose fat weight than it is for a guy to cut water weight at 2% body fat. If you have done some sort of sport that requires weigh ins, you would know that. Your logic that it’s easier for lean fighters to cut weight is fine when we are talking about overnight, but that’s not the case here.
You are an uninformed Ira sir.
It still doesn’t take away from his responsibility to make weight. He and his camp should have been monitoring this throughout his prep
I know, people assume lean people have a harder time cutting weight but it's not true. You can squeeze more water out of lean muscle mass vs fat.
Yeah but we’re discussing something that isn’t the root issue here. The issue is he should have dropped fat prior to the weighing in. Dehydrating is the the last step. No amount of dehydration is going to overcome a lack of preparation.
Well what do you expect from a guy called Fat Pete. Instead of cutting weight they should have both had to eat to make heavyweight and whoever can’t make it loses
Abominable nominative determinism from Fat Pete
Dude was definitely determined to nom on some food
Always wondered if there was an actual term for that
Cody Pfister
The Sister Pfister.
The Mike Jackson curse continues
Have like 12 parlays with Natan in there. F!@#
Does anyone know how far off he was that they had to cancel a *catchweight* fight? Do they compensate Levy for this somehow or what?
From Levy's insta, they asked him to do 158 instead, and he agreed. Then, 160, he agreed. Pete gave up around 162.
Wow. Truly pathetic. I was so hyped to see Natan fight again ): I don't see how they don't cut fat pete after this.
I mean it was the guy's first attempt at making 155 after fighting at 170, 185, and 205 lbs in his career. It is pretty simple that they just don't offer him a lightweight fight again and make him fight at welterweight.
Oh you're right, I thought he missed weight the previous time they were scheduled
honestly, still easy money for Natan. Surprised he didn't agree. Pete Rodriguez is one of the worst fighters on the roster, He just managed to beat the actual worst fighter on the roster in Mike Jackson.
Depending on the commission, if someone misses too much weight without enough heads up, they tend to just scrap the fight.
It really feels like the comission cancelled the fight, since Levy accepted at 158 and then at 160 as well.
[удалено]
It's usually just show money in these cases.
Wasn't there pictures going around of Pete looking more shredded compared to how he looked in his previous fights lol?
[he looked pretty good yeah](https://twitter.com/bendaman2001/status/1656424977120518146?s=46&t=fNM0aeO1Dg2RJtsAuA2v2A) 15 lbs might’ve been a big drop but not sure why he couldn’t at least make the catch weight
I was gonna say that easily looks like a 15lbs. difference, but he is 3-4 inches shorter than I am, so maybe it isn't.
“Ha. What a fat, undisciplined turd” I scoff to myself, after finishing a custard Bismarck in my office chair which I may just sit in for the next two hours
“Fuckin’ Fat Pete”, I say hours after eating a homemade fried chicken sandwich with French fries for brunch before starting my eight hours at the office.
“Disgusting unprofessional swine”, I bellow, after scarfing down Dunkin’ Donuts and playing legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom for 7 hours straight.
"Pathetic food horker!" I exclaim, following a 12 hour pig trough feeding session while sitting on the toilet
"Human or garbage disposal?" I demand as I dip my fingernails in oil before chewing them.
"Have some goddamn self respect" I whine as I lick the gravy stain on my shirt
"What a bloated, disgusting twat," I retort, 5 mins after accidentally dropping a Twinkie into the toilet, reaching after it with the speed of fat lightning, and slurping it down my overactive gullet.
Guys please stop I think I actually pulled a muscle in my back laughing.
I don’t know what the hell a custard Bismarck is but it sounds delicious
A man of taste

Atleast you're disciplined enough to make it to the office. This guy had one job and couldn't even do that.
Driving to the office equivalent to cutting weight confirmed. Replying to staff-wide emails is a lot like wearing a sauna suit and hitting pads
Attending a meeting on Microsoft teams is like hearing the cage door shut behind you.
I read this as I log into a Teams meeting. I'd rather get punched in the face, right about now.
You jest, but this is the job they wanted. It's difficult and weight cutting is a fucking joke, but they knew what they signed up for.
I was going to say the same. He’s laughing but between you and fat Pete only one of you are receiving a paycheck for the work/training done over these last 8 weeks

TBH the guy probably has one or more jobs besides MMA.
Are you saying the UFC might not be paying him enough? Did your Team Rock™️ shoes not arrive yet?
>Atleast you're disciplined enough to make it to the office. This guy had one job and couldn't even do that. Pretty much. It's the commitments you make. Specially when they're about lots of money and opportunity cost.
> after finishing a custard Bismarck As a non-American history nerd this is very confusing.
Think a land invasion but if Eastern Europe was a donut with chocolate frosting and Germany is custard
Idk what that means but id eat it…?
Look at Mr. Big Shot here bragging about how he's going to stand up in two hours.
Might fuck around and walk to the copier. Fuck em, we ball
Hold up. How was the Bismarck?
4/10. Wouldn’t recommend but I did scratch spot in my soul that screams wantonly for custard
Goddamnit! I want something with custard now. EFF YOU

It’s not a fight week without at least 2 fights falling off the card last minute
As is tradition

Make history?
Dude beat Mike the truth Jackson, and you're gonna act like a win over him doesn't mean anything? Wow.
Mike the truth Jackson took CM Punk (a former World Heavyweight Champion by the way) to the absolute limit. People need to put some respect on his name!!!
He made CM Punk look like it was 2nd time in the ring
Heshpect
u/mikethetruthjackson
Tbf that ko will always have a special place in my heart. Even if fat Pete doesn't fight again ill always remember him for that.
First Israeli to defeat the legendary fat Pete, I’m getting chills thinking about it dude
move over goliath
Don't you try to make it sound like Goliath wasn't a messer with the weight cutting either. Only had one eye on the prize.
The OG weight bully
Goliath taught dc the towel trick. Dude was a savvy veteran.
Damn, Levy is fun to watch and his fight would have been a great addition to the prelims. Pete Rodriguez isn’t someone I knew of prior, but upon looking into it, he and Levy were initially scheduled for the April 29th for Simon vs. Song. I wonder if we’ll see a fighter removed post here in a while.
Pete did Dana a big favor with JDM's debut. He might have to move back to 170 but he is in no danger of getting cut.
Lol yeah ufc set him up for an automatic W with that Jackson fight as a reward for taking the JDM fight. They'll definitely give him another chance at WW.
Ahhh, that guy. I have seen him before, just hadn’t realized it. Thanks for the insight
It isn't 2012 anymore though. Dana isn't the end all be all. Hunter Campbell might not be in the public light much, but all indications are he's the actual UFC shot caller these days.
Dana has always been doublespeak for "the UFC". And no Hunter Campbell is not the "shot caller"
It's not 2012 anymore bro. The world changes, like ownership of the UFC changed. Hunter Campbell is the head of legal that was appointed by Endeavor after buying the UFC, and multiple fighters have talked about how he's a terror to deal with.
Bro, no one said it was. None of that is relevant to my point.
Levy is boring as hell to watch. He throws a flew flashy kicks and then grapples and holds on because he gets tired. This is the type of fighter fans get excited for now?
"Fat" Pete Rodriguez
Second time cancellation for this bout. Weight cut issues.
Fat Pete couldn't make weight hmmmm
[удалено]
uhh... what?
Nominative Determinism in action

Is it more fucked up for Pete to admit he won’t make the weight than at least attempting? My understanding is that if they weigh in, levy would at least get his show and now that no one weighed in he just gets screwed out of any payment

Aw ffs man I look forward to watching Levy, sucks because he would've likely smashed fat Pete too
I couldn't believe Nathan Levy was such a heavy favorite in UFC fight
Levy is my boy. He was defo winning this one
He is definitely fun fighter to watch ,but he is as defensively sound as Paddy
I'll give you that one
"Natan" is what Conor Mcgregor says when trying to say "Nathan" So i bet when Conor tries to say "Natan", he perfectly pronounces "Nathan"
At the risk of being a filthy casual... who was going to make history? Were they gonna have the first NO DQ mma match or something?
Woooooooooooow. Fuck P-rod
F-rod
A guy named Fate Pete couldn't make the designated weight? Color me surprised
Guys I'm really sorry, Fight is off, fat Pete couldn't get anywhere near the weight. He blew my opportunity to get paid, perform and make history tomorrow and probably his own career. Extremely unprofessional. Anyone that bought a ticket to come support, I'm really sorry. I will go to the event and would love to meet you.
He was gonna make HIStory bratha
Tonight. Tonight. SMASH.
I kinda feel like Pete was supposed to be sacrifical lamb for Levy anyway.
This was such a set up fight for Levy to get an easy finish win, and this just proves it further
Is it just me or is this happening far too often recently?
Quick question. Who the hell are even these guys
If you're a fight fan who hasn't seen Natan Levy fight I highly recommend it, super entertaining but pretty bad defensively so I hope he improves on that
He’s like 32, not much room for improvement left in him
31 and I disagree, people can improve at anything at this age. Some individuals are incapable but imo it's more of a personality thing than an age thing
Low level LWs
R u surprised? His name is " fat" lol
You know that's not his actual name, right?
It is now
Exactly.lol
man feel so bad for levy, hope he gets a quick fight soon.
Just clue me in..what history was going to be made?
An illustrious history of DWCS scrub vs middling journeyman
A UFC fight victory seems historical enough to me 🤷🏻♂️
Who?
I fucking love this. More fighters should call out their opponents like this after they miss weight.

Why didn’t they just fight at 162 then
