Hoop, there it is! - Stephens misses weight for UFC 249, Florida commission looks clueless

Jeremy Stephens doesn’t exactly have a long history of trouble with the scale, having only missed weight in twice in his 32 UFC fights. But when it does happen, he seems to miss by a decent margin. The former lightweight and longtime featherweight action mainstay came in 3 lbs over the lightweight limit back in 2009, for a fight against Gleison Tibau. And 4.5 lbs over the featherweight limit for his 2015 bout against Dennis Bermudez.

This Firday, in Jacksonville, FL, Stephens missed the featherweight mark again for his fight against Calvin Kattar, scheduled for the PPV portion of UFC 249.
