Two fighters from UFC 294 have missed weight, with one bad enough to put their fight in jeopardy for a bit.
Mike Breeden and Viktoriya Dudakova miss weight for UFC 294
Viktoriya Dudakova came in at 116.6 lbs for her strawweight bout, officially missing weight by .6 lbs. Her fight will still push through, but she will be fined, and 20% of her purse will go to her opponent Jinh Yu Frey.
Mike Breeden also missed weight, coming in at 159.5 lbs. for his lightweight fight with Road to UFC winner Anshul Jubli. The bad 3.5 lb. weight miss put the fight in jeopardy, but a UFC official has informed Bloody Elbow that the fight is pushing through.
Breeden was eventually cleared by officials, and despite the weight disparity, the undefeated Indian prospect in Jubli still went on to accept and push through with the fight.
Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski, key bouts officially set
As for the other key bouts on the card, the lightweight title fight has been made official after Islam Makhachev came in at 155 lbs. and Alexander Volkanovski at 154.5 lbs. Main event back up Mateusz Gamrot also tipped the scales exactly at the championship weight, but unless something unfortunate happens in the next few hours, it looks like he won’t be needed for this card.
The co-main event is also a go with late replacement Kamaru Usman moving up to weigh 184.5 lbs. and Khamzat Chimaev at 185.5 lbs.
