There was one major gaffe, but Saturday’s UFC card in San Antonio is intact.
Jennifer Maia hit the scales at 129 pounds on Friday, three pounds over the limit (with one-pound allowance) for her flyweight preliminary bout with Roxanne Modafferi. Per UFC.com, she will be fined 30 percent of her purse and the bout will proceed as scheduled.
The other 25 fighters all successfully made weight, including welterweight main event participants Rafael dos Anjos and Leon Edwards.
Modafferi offered a disgruntled reaction to Maia’s miss on social media:
I’m eating and drinking back stage and I found out my opponent missed weight?
