UFC 139's Danny Castillo details weigh-in drama preceding win over Shamar Bailey

The serious look on Danny Castillo's face after he pounded out Shamar Bailey did not suggest a man happy with his work, and his initial attempts to explain his win to UFC commentator Joe Rogan were comically understated.

Instead of gushing over his training partners or the virtue of hard work following his win in UFC 139's first preliminary bout, Castillo used his post-fight speech to chastise Bailey for missing weight by two pounds, even though he benefited from it financially.

Castillo nevertheless felt it was a disrespectful gesture, and the mini-drama building up to the fight fed his rebuke.
