Making weight is part of the job of a mixed martial artist.
Throughout the sport’s history, a number of fighters have experienced weigh-in day blunders on the scale. Whether they attempted to cut too much, mismanaged their weight loss goal, or experienced a medical issue, there are a number of reasons that may cause a fighter to step on the scale above their contracted weight.
While some events see all competitors make weight without issue, a fighter or two coming in heavy isn’t all that uncommon. However, there are rare instances that see three or more tipping the scale, causing dramatic moments the day before the fights. Four is the high mark, which has occurred on four occasions.
