UFC Vegas 122 weigh-in results: 3 fighters miss weight, including massive 7.5-pound miss
Three fighters missed weight in a messy morning at UFC Vegas 122 official weigh-ins, including a massive 7.5-pound miss by Ismael Bonfim.
At UFC Vegas 122's weigh-ins, three fighters failed to make weight. Ismael Bonfim, a lightweight, was the most heinous offender, coming in 7.5 pounds over the limit for his undercard fight against Francisco Prado, weighing in at 163.5 pounds instead of the required 155. Ketlen Souza, a strawweight, was 1 pound over the limit for her main-card bout against Loopy Godinez, tipping the scales at 117 instead of the required 115.5.
Brendson Ribeiro, a light heavyweight, missed weight by 2.5 pounds for his undercard contest against Felipe Franco, coming in at 208.5 pounds instead of the required 205. It remains to be seen if all three fights will proceed; if so, the three fighters who missed weight will likely face fines based on a percentage of their purses.
However, middleweight champions Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan avoided the morning's setbacks, with Allen tipping the scales at 186 pounds and Duncan at 185. Allen has secured three consecutive UFC victories, while Duncan enters the bout on a five-fight winning streak after defeating Jared Cannonier in July. The highly anticipated UFC Vegas 122 event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 10, at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
