UFC Vegas 122 weigh-in results: Fighter misses weight by over 7 pounds - MMA Fighting
UFC Vegas 122 weigh-ins were marred by multiple fighters missing weight, most notably Ismael Bonfim who came in 7.5 pounds over the lightweight limit. Despite the weight issues, the main event between Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan remains intact as both fighters successfully made weight.
Why it matters
Weight misses disrupt fight cards and raise concerns regarding fighter safety and professional discipline within the promotion.
Ismael Bonfim has once again had a disastrous day at the scale.
At Friday’s official weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 122, Bonfim missed weight for the third time in his run with the promotion, coming in at 163.5 pounds, an egregious 7.5 pounds over the non-title limit for his lightweight bout with Francisco Prado.
Bonfim previously missed weight by five pounds for a November 2025 bout against Chris Padilla, and by 3.5 pounds for a November 2023 fight against Vinc Pichel that was subsequently rescheduled. “Marreta” told MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz that he “finally got serious” about his diet after the Padilla gaffe, but it appears he has strayed from that path again.
Prado successfully made weight at 155 pounds. The UFC later announced that Prado vs. Bonfim will proceed at a catchweight with Bonfim forfeiting 25 percent of his purse as penalty.
