It's not that unfair to Funeka, it's just he's obviously still trying to fight in accordance with the rules for the right to win the belt, whereas Guzman obviously doesn't give a fuck.

It will be interesting to see if Funeka does weigh under the limit or if he comes in heavy and gives up the title opportunity to enhance his winning chances against a much heavier and cheating opponent.
What are you talking about? Funeka made weight at 135 yesterday.
That's what I would figure. I've never heard of a sanctioning body having a restriction on what a fighter can rehydrate to for the unofficial weight in order to still fight for the belt..
Especially if they weren't checking weight before the fight at 7 and 30 days.
