Javier Vazquez says Din Thomas, state commission to blame for “Ultimate Chaos” fiasco
As with any dispute, there are always two sides to every story.
And as “Ultimate Chaos” victor Javier Vazquez today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) such was the case with this past Friday’s weigh-in fiasco in Biloxi, Miss., which ultimately cost Din Thomas a chance to fight – and took money from Vazquez’s pocket.
“I never went up to the commission,” Vazquez said. “I never bitched and complained. I never said anything. It wasn’t my job to do that. That’s the commission’s job to do that.”
Thomas, who began rehydrating immediately after weighing-in at 146.6 pounds for the featherweight contest, on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio that Vazquez was the one insisting the extra weight be shed despite a reported pass from the Mississippi State Athletic Commission. Vazquez said he was asked a simple question, to which he replied as he would in any other situation.
“We weighed in, and Din was about half-pound over,” Vazquez said. “I never said anything. I figured since he was over he was going to have to cut anyways. It’s not my job to say, ‘Go cut.’
