Julio Cesar Chavez Jr misses weight, as usual, for Anderson Silva fight

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is nothing like his dad. He has none of the discipline, drive, ability, etc. and it often leads to him either pulling out of fights or having some sort of screw-up during fight week.

For Saturday’s matchup vs. Anderson Silva, it’s already business as usual.

At Friday’s weigh-in, Chavez Jr came in at 184 lbs for what was supposed to be a 182 lbs catchweight against the former UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend. That weight miss cost him $100k, which will go to Silva, who had the decency to make weight like a professional.
