After missing weight at yesterday's UFC 142 weigh-in, Anthony Johnson jumped on his Facebook to make it blatantly apparent that he doesn't care what you think about him coming in at 197 lbs for a middleweight bout. Actually, here's the complete statement:

"I'm already laughing at what ppl are saying. Yeah it was for medical reason and I did what the UFC Dr Told me to do. Believe it or don't I give a f**k cuz the ppl close to me were freaking out but I'm still alive and something like this has never happen before. Say what you want I'm still gonna do my thang. You try not having feeling in your legs and can't move then and see how you look at life after that."

The pink elephant that's covered in neon flashing lights in that sentence is the part where Johnson claims he couldn't feel his legs. Of course, if Rumble couldn't feel his legs during the weigh-ins, then why would the doctor even clear him to fight? Seriously, no sensation in your lower extremities can be a warning sign of a serious neurological or cardiovascular problem. It's definitely not the kind of condition that you want going into perhaps one of the toughest fights of your career. It looks like we have a case of someone slightly stretching the truth, or a doctor that got his MD from healing people in Battlefield 3.

I'm going to start chewing on ice wrapped in a towel to cut weight. Reminds me of the old UNLV basketball coach. now that is an obscure reference if I ever made one.

AJ just seemed too healthy at weigh ins to have been close to liver failure or w.e. a few hours previous

per Fumble, "...something like this has never happened before..."

um it's been pretty well documented how many times you've missed weight. that's kind of why you moved up so this didn't happen.

Dana White is just UNCOOL. They way he swears is just so unnecessary. I think he WANTS people to think he's cool but he just isn't. He just isn't cool. It's like Celine Dio trying to be hot.. She's just not hot.. Nothing you can do about it Dana just be yourself. You're not cool. I'm not cool either and I know swearing for no reason just makes you look like a douche.

Dana may be an asshole a lot of the time, but I wouldn't say the guy is not authentic, he's not trying to be cool, the guy just talks like that.

A lot of Hollywood indie films have swearing in unnecessary situations too..always so out of place in desperate attempts to seem cool.

someone educate me on why he was chewing the ice?

part of weight cutting? or am I just reading too much into his habits?

+31 # MediocreThreat 2012-01-14 14:14

He's cut a ton of water weight so his mouth is dry and he is thirsty as shit. If he drinks a bottle of water, he's done a bunch of weigh cutting for nothing. Just an old trick for keeping your mouth from getting dry and to feel like you're getting a little water back in your system.

Respect to Vitor. I had my share of tough weight cuts for High School wrestling.

The ice chewing is anxiety from not being able to eat or drink anything. I used to chew gum to deal with it.

Well who wants to bet that after Vitor Ko's his ass that he heads up to 205, where he probably should be fighting at any ways. When you see some of the photo's with Anthony and see just how fucking huge he is when he's not cutting weight, its insane, kinda like the pic with Bones and Arlvoski, you see it and wonder how Bones can even make 205 still.
Really its a shame cuz all the distractions of weight cutting takes so much out of and away from Rumble, who has a ton of talent, he just needs to put it all together. Starting with moving too 205lbs

Jon Jones makes weight by having legs as thin as nick diaz arms. everytime he kicks im afraid of another cory hill incident happening, especially with how inexperienced he is with his kicks. honestly i wouldnt be surprised if the only way he lost was due to a serious leg injury from a checked leg kick.as much as i cant stand the guy, thats not how i wanna see him lose

Thanx to all my supporters out there 4 real!!! Anyways, like I was saying...I got me a medical condition ya dig? That's why I ain't hit weight. Haters gonna hate.

Something like this ain't never happen before! Never in my life! Except for that time against Clementi but I woulda whooped his ass at any weight. Oh and that other time against Yoshida but I wasn't feeling like cuttin no more cuz it kinda sucks ya dig? That was all though. Oh except for that time I was just a little over for the Hardy fight but I made weight the second time to show how professional I am.

Anyways could care less what you people think.
