Recent UFC weigh-ins usually have at least one eyebrow-raising occurrence. However, multiple ones occurred at today’s official UFC 210 weigh-ins in Buffalo, N.Y., one of which nearly led to disaster for Saturday’s pay-per-view event.
UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) missed the 205-pound limit for his title fight with Anthony Johnson (22-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) on his first attempt. He quickly returned to the scale and hit the required weight mark, but not without some potential foul play involving the usage of his towel.
Shortly thereafter it was revealed UFC strawweight Peal Gonzalez (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) was being pulled from her planned main-card bout with Cynthia Calvillo (4-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) due to breast implants that are apparently banned under New York State Athletic Commission guidelines. That only lasted a few hours, though, because the fight was later reinstated to the card.
All in all, it was one of the more dramatic UFC weigh-in ceremonies, and the fight world was following along with it all on social media. Check below for the top Twitter reacts to today’s UFC 210 weigh-in drama.
