Bryan Battle isn’t making any excuses for back-to-back weight misses.
After failing to make weight for a welterweight clash against Randy Brown in December, ‘The Butcher’ moved up to middleweight to try and mitigate the difficult weight cut. Unfortunately, that plan backfired.
Battle weighed in at 190 pounds for a scheduled scrap against Nursulton Ruziboev, four pounds over the non-title fight limit. As a result, the fight was scrapped, and Battle was handed his release.
While Battle isn’t particularly interested in hearing what all the haters online have to say about his weigh-in gaffe, the Missouri native isn’t offering any excuses for the second straight miss.
