UFC Vegas 107 Main Event Weigh-In Sees Fighter Exceed Nontitle Target
While the UFC Vegas 107 main event will go on as scheduled, it will do so after one contestant narrowly missed the contracted weight earlier today. Maycee Barber weighed-in at 126 1/2 lbs, half of a pound over the flyweight nontitle maximum, and, as such, will forfeit 20 percent of her pay.
Her adversary Erin Blanchfield came in on championship weight at 125 lbs. This wasn’t the only fight to have issues on the scales this morning.
Prelim Flyweight Fighter Also Goes Over in UFC Vegas 107 Official Weigh-In
During the prelims of tomorrow night’s event, Allan Nascimento is scheduled to take on Jafel Filho, but the former clocked in at 127 1/2 lbs, 1 1/2 lbs beyond the nontitle maximum at flyweight. Filho weighed in at 126 on the button.
Viera vs. Chiasson Shifted to Featherweight Bout at Weigh-Ins
Additionally, tomorrow’s planned women’s bantamweight contest matching Ketlen Viera with Macy Chiasson was rebooked to take place as a fight in the featherweight division during the official weigh-ins. Viera encountered weight cut issues ahead of the weigh-ins.
Due to Viera’s weight miss, she’ll now surrender 25 percent of her wages for the contest tomorrow night.
Catchweight Fight PPD Ahead of Weigh-In
UFC Vegas 107’s bout order is now down to an even 10 contests tomorrow night. A planned catchweight bout that was to have happened at 180 lbs has had to be scrubbed ahead of the show.
Trevin Giles, who was scheduled to verse Andreas Gustafsson in the latter’s UFC debut, has now withdrawn from Saturday night’s card after sustaining an injury. Gustafsson now continues to wait to make his UFC promotional premiere upon securing his contract last summer on Contender Series
