Thiago Alves is one-and-a-half pound too heavy for the match

As the championships in martial arts approach, players are getting ready to be in the best condition for the following match. As we all know, in all martial arts the weight limit is something one must strictly stick to and even half a pound can ruin one’s career.

The audience at Oakland’s Oracle Arena is excited and can hardly wait to see the main event. The biggest support from the audience obviously goes to Anderson Silva. However, that is far from the most important. The UFC weigh-ins will decide who is really in and who is out. According to the results from the UFC weigh-ins, the only person who did not manage to stick to the limit weight is Thiago Alves. The limit in his category is 170 pounds and he has gained a pound and a half extra over the limit. Even though this may sound silly to us, it is a very serious issue when martial arts and fighting come to question.
