Gomez said that there is some concern that because of the champion’s inability to train he may have trouble making the 126 pound limit at the official weigh in on Friday."

That's very curious.... If I get sick with a flu virus or the like. I tend to dehydrate and have a loss of weight. So am thinking that because he is sick he's taking fluids so he can recover more quickly. I'm thinking, if he's not fully recovered, when he starts to make weight again (dehydrating) then there is a very strong possibility the virus will rebound due to his dehydrated state. My understanding is that a Virus goes into survival mode and is most contagious when a person is recovering. Someone enlighten me if this thing of mine is off... if I my thinking is correct then John won't have the stamina for the later rounds.
