How do you know Cormier didn't go backstage and take a huge dump, talk with Rumble, give blood, vomit, run on a treadmill, tell them to put fresh batteries in the scale, remove his pants and / or get an enema?
The "huge dump" is non existent because he was most likely on a severe diet in this week and most likely close to starvation on the last 48 hours. Before he got to the scale be sure any "small" dump was already taken.
"Talk with Rumble" ? to get him to what ? it's not up to him it's the commission in play here no Rumble at this point in time.
"Give blood".. if you do this I believe USADA will be all over you.. you know those rules NO IV's they are in play.
"Vomit" I already explained he has little to no food inside of him at this point most likely hasn't had anything to eat at all the entire day that's how the hard weight cuts work so sorry but nothing to vomit out.
"Run on a treadmill" alright this could be possible only problem is the time very little time to get a proper sweat going in a body that was already low on sweat to give out, this isn't normal conditions he is already super depleted on this point in time, no way he gets 1.2 lbs off in around 2 minutes of time by doing this.
"Fresh batteries" well it worked for the other fighters good enough it's only low battery on DC ? surprising to say the least.
"Remove his pants" he already was naked for the first try.
"Get an enema" you really think a dude starving himself for a week and not eating anything in the last 24 hours, doing a solid weight cut so he took plenty of dumps already in this cut to this point is still with that much shit on his insides ? alright maybe he gets something out but for such a depleted man with strict diet for a week and you remove 1.2 lbs with this now ? even if he removes how much can it be like 0.5 if that.. if plus the logistic you think they just pulled the enema in 1 minute out of the bag and started ? why didn't they do it before and the purpose of the enema is cleaning with water and his body is very dried up at this point will probably retain some of that water so what you clean out you most likely retain back in the form of water.
Nothing here is realistic or plausible at least say something like.. "cut of his beard and hair on his head, body, private parts".. wiped him down really good maybe he had some sweat left over on him, very unlikely but hey say something, do something to fool the masses.
Realistic it's 2 choices:
a) commission cheated
or
a + b) DC cheated hands on the towels, each with 0.5~0.6 lbs of pressure just enough to put him on the good mark.. or even have the commission be like hey 205 even if it was 205.1~0.2.. yet again the officials turning a blind eye to the hands position and the positive round up on the scale number.
