UFC Vegas 120 weigh-in results: Former title challenger takes 3 tries to make weight - MMA Fighting
UFC fighter Amanda Lemos struggled to make weight for her upcoming bout at UFC Vegas 120, requiring three attempts to reach the strawweight limit. All other fighters on the card successfully weighed in, confirming the main and preliminary event lineups.
Why it matters
Weight-cutting issues are a recurring concern in professional MMA, impacting fighter health and the integrity of scheduled matchups.
Amanda Lemos was almost off track already as she looks to break out of a career-worst skid.
Heading into her UFC Vegas 120 matchup with Alexia Thainara, Lemos has lost consecutive fights for the first time in her career and is currently mired in a 2-4 slump. Lemos nearly hit another snag at the official weigh-ins for Saturday’s event, twice stepping to the scale and twice coming in over the strawweight limit for a non-title bout, first at 117 pounds, and then stripping down to make 116.5 pounds (still 0.5 pounds over the limit).
