5 Times MMA fighters missed weight in a championship fight

#4 Travis Lutter vs Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva had no trouble dispatching BJJ black belt Travis Lutter

The Ultimate Fighter season 4 was the first of its kind - it consisted of UFC Welterweights and Middleweights who hadn't yet won a title in the organization. The winners would be awarded $200,000 each and earn a title shot in their respective weight classes. Decorated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu player Travis Lutter was the last Middleweight standing and earned a title shot against newly crowned champion Anderson Silva.

After witnessing his wizardry in his first 2 UFC fights, fans were howling for more of The Spider and wanted to see how he'd fare against "The Michael Jordan of BJJ". But those hoping for fireworks saw only a massive fizzle out, as a shriveled Lutter missed weight and submitted in the second round with a triangle choke. The fans lambasted Lutter for missing weight and being deprived of a 5-round title fight. In an interview after the defeat, Lutter said that his weight cut was on track before the fight but when it came down to the last four pounds, his body just stopped sweating.
