The person who made the video about the Quebecois authorities wouldn't be measuring decimal places during UFC 158 weigh-ins has filed a counter-claim with Youtube after the UFC tried to get the video offline.

The person who captured a UFC executive's "off the record" conversation about weigh-in rules with Nick Diaz, told MMAjunkie.com that he's filed a counter-claim to a DMCA request filed by the UFC. Nick McDermott wrote on Twitter:

Apparently UFC doesn't want the .9 allowance video to be seen and blocked it. I got a strike on my account because of it. I sent a counter claim and I'm waiting on them to respond.

McDermott said his video was reinstated after he complained to YouTube, which suspends accounts with three DMCA "strikes." But several days later, the clip was again taken down. He then filed a counter notification, which is a legal request to reinstate content in instances were it is "removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled, such fair use.

Any updates on this matter will appear on MMA Europe asap!
