UFC Vegas 100 Weigh-in Results
The anticipation for UFC Vegas 100 has taken an unexpected turn as several fighters struggled to meet the required weights at the official weigh-ins held on Friday.
One fighter making his debut, Zach Scroggin, unfortunately failed to make a favorable first impression. Stepping in on just four days' notice to replace Nicolas Dalby against Elizeu Zaleski, Scroggin weighed in at 174 pounds – a staggering three pounds over the welterweight limit for a non-title fight. This raises questions about whether the match will still occur as a catchweight contest, and what percentage of Scroggin's purse he might lose due to this penalty.
Scroggin wasn't alone in his weight troubles. Bantamweight fighter Melissa Mullins also came in over the limit, weighing in at 137 pounds. This puts her matchup against Klaudia Sygula into jeopardy as officials determine the next steps.
However, not all fighters faced issues; the headlining welterweight contenders Neil Magny and Carlos Prates both successfully made weight, coming in at 171 and 170.5 pounds, respectively. Magny, a seasoned veteran with a record-breaking 22 wins in the welterweight division, has never failed to make weight in his 34 UFC appearances.
In a troubling turn of events, the UFC announced the cancellation of the match between Ricky Turcios and Benardo Sopaj due to a medical issue concerning Turcios. This abrupt cancellation adds to the drama surrounding the event.
