In a bizarre weight in for UFC 210, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and 2x Olympian missed weight as he weighed in at 206.2 lbs for his 205 lbs title defense.

Cormier originally weighed in naked, with a towel in front of him when he was over weight. He went into the back behind a curtain and appeared a couple minutes later and made 205 even.

It appeared that Cormier may have been pushing down on the towel to help him lose the 1.2 lbs.

In 2008 Daniel Cormier had a tough cut at the Olympic Games, and while he did make weight, he was later hospitalized and not allowed to wrestle in the Olympics due to complications from the weight cut. He talks about that experience in the FloFilms series Daniel Cormier: The Champion.

See how it went down for yourself.
