The UFC Vegas 108 weigh-in produced a couple of interesting moments on Friday morning
Late-replacement HyunSung Park hit his mark ahead of a main event matchup against Tatsuro Taira.
The 16-1 Japanese flyweight was supposed to face Amir Albazi, but he wasn’t medically cleared to fight on Saturday night.
Still, Taira made weight along with 21 other fighters competing on the 12-fight UFC Vegas 108 card.
Two UFC Vegas 108 fighters miss weight
Flyweight fighter Rafael Estevam suffered the biggest weight miss of all ahead of UFC Vegas 108.
The Brazilian came in at 130lbs, which is 4lbs over the 126lb limit he was supposed to hit to make his fight with Felipe Bunes official.
Tresean Gore’s middleweight weight miss was only slightly less at 3.5 lbs. The Ultimate Fighter 29 contestant tipped the scales at 189.5 ahead of his clash with BJJ specialist Rodolfo Vieira.
Nora Cornolle was the last fighter to weigh in. Usually, that means they had a very tough cut.
The bantamweight made 136lbs before fighting back tears during an emotional moment on the scale.
