When asked to explain his theory, Perez pointed to the lack of fat on 'The Notorious' at the weigh-ins ahead of the March 5th event.
Perez continued: “Just by watching a guy come up from 145 to 170, you’re going to have some fat on you, believe me, you’re going to have some fat, somewhere. Around your waist, somewhere. He didn’t have any fat at all. He was solid muscle.
"How are you going to build that much in two weeks and be solid muscle? You know what I’m saying? Because he was supposed to fight at 155, but he was already overweight, I know he was.
So when he found out that Rafael dos Anjos hurt his ankle, he called Nathan out at 170 so that tells me right there that he couldn’t get down to weight because something is making him build up.”
