At yesterday’s weigh ins for Polaris 4, Garry Tonon weighed in at 167.5, after eating a large lunch. His opponent, the world no gi champion Gilbert Burns was scheduled to weigh in at 170 but was 10 pounds overweight. He will not try to make weight and will face Tonon as the weight of his choice on match day.

Tonon stated on his instagram:

When your opponent misses weight by 10pounds #polaris4 @polaris_professional #tononvsdurinhoListen guys, asking my opponent to make weight is never because I’m worried about them being bigger than me. I’ve had matches with Palhares, Buchecha, Cyborg, Vinny Magalhães and Luis Panza. And ultimately making your opponent cut weight, especially for a day before weigh in won’t likely change their overall body size and strength that much on the day of the competition. It’s simply a matter of respect for your opponent. If a larger opponent matches with a smaller one and they ask for a weight class, so long as its reasonable to make, they should do it out of respect. Durinhos UFC weight class is 155, I asked him to make 170 day before, which is more than reasonable. I asked Palhares to make 183, he did and his ufc weight class was 170. Imanari asked me to make 150 and I did. By the Way, Of course the fight is still on, because I’m not a pussy.
