UFC 206 Takes Another Disastrous Turn At Weigh-Ins
Just when you thought UFC 206 couldn’t get any worse, Friday’s weigh-ins happened. Three fighters missed weight today, most importantly Anthony Pettis (pictured).Pettis was slated to headline tomorrow’s show inside Air Canada Centre in Toronto against Max Holloway for the vacant interim featherweight title, a scrap the UFC desperately scrambled to put together after light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was forced to pull out of the main attraction against Anthony Johnson at the last minute because of a torn groin.
After Holloway clocked 145 pounds on the dot, the maximum allowed for a feathereight title tilt, Pettis weighed in three pounds over the limit at 148 pounds.
