During Friday's UFC 210 official weigh-ins, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier weighed in 1.2 pounds over the 205-pound limit for light heavyweight championship fights. Cormier, who is scheduled to defend his belt on Saturday against top contender Anthony Johnson, was then given another chance to weigh-in just a little over two minutes after the initial time he hit the scale.

On his second try, the former Olympic wrestler registered 205 pounds, but was seen holding down the towel used to cover his body, as he had stripped down before stepping on the scale. Many claim this to be an old wrestling trick used to weigh less on the scale.

Below is how the pros reacted to Cormier’s controversial weigh-in:

It seems the NYSAC folks can't spot a pair of hands resting on a towel during a weigh in, but they can damn sure spot a pair of fake boobs! — Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) April 7, 2017

Yup. The ol towel push/pull https://t.co/hSQT2zovNv — Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) April 7, 2017

I smell something fishy. Somehow Cormier lost 1.2 pounds in 2:24 mins, is that even possible in that short amount of time? — Linton Vassell (@LDV_TheSwarm) April 7, 2017

That moment D.C. pulled the ol @DarrickMinner towel trick to make weight. — Anthony Smith (@lionheartsmith) April 7, 2017

Oldest trick in the book everyone try it at home press on something when weighing your self and see how lighter you are on the scales https://t.co/0a3DwVDlcM — Darren Stewart (@Darren_mma) April 7, 2017

Daniel Cormier brought back the old trick:"touch the towel to touch the sky" and made the weight in a magical way.Cgts Athletic Commission — Alberto Miná (@albertominaUFC) April 7, 2017
