Conspiracy theorist in me is starting to think Khamzat did this on purpose, he probably respects Nate and also thinks the UFC was trying to do Nate dirty. Doesn't want to humiliate him when he already has one foot out the door and instead decides to miss weight on purpose to fight Holland, who he has actual beef with as they got into a backstage brawl yesterday that got the press conference cancelled.
In any case it's funny how all this chaos has actually resulted in a better card now than the one before. Didn't care for 279 at all, but now I'm really looking forward to it. If this is Nate's last fight with the UFC I hope him and Tony put on a classic all-timer.
