UFC Vegas 123 weigh-in results: One fighter badly misses weight for Halloween card
Francis Marshall tipped the scales at 148 pounds for his undercard bout against Dakota Hope — two pounds over the featherweight non-title limit.
On Friday morning, UFC Vegas 123's official weigh-ins revealed that one fighter, Francis Marshall, failed to meet the required weight for his bout. Marshall tipped the scales at 148 pounds, exceeding the featherweight non-title limit by two pounds in his undercard fight against Dakota Hope. The UFC has not yet confirmed Marshall's status, but it is expected that he will face penalties such as a fine based on the percentage of his purse and that his prelim headliner against Hope may become a catchweight bout.
Despite this incident, all other 23 fighters on the card managed to hit their respective weight classes. Main-eventers Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan both made their five-round lightweight showdown, weighing in at 156 and 155.5 pounds, respectively. UFC Vegas 123 will take place on Saturday at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, with the main card starting at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
