Bryan Battle has vowed never to miss weight again.
Battle was scheduled to fight Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC 319 earlier this month. However, “The Butcher” missed the non-title middleweight limit of 186 pounds by four pounds, leading to the cancellation of the bout. This was Battle’s second weight miss in a row after missing weight in a welterweight matchup against Randy Brown last December that inspired the move to middleweight. Despite a promising 7-1 UFC record, “The Ultimate Fighter 29” winner was released from the promotion days later.
