UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili is right around the corner but is in danger of losing a great main card fight after a featherweight contender weighed in an incredible 8 lbs over the limit.
The event is set to go down this weekend and will be headlined by a huge bantamweight clash between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili. With a number of top contenders in the division, it remains to be seen whether the main event bout will have title implications for the winner.
During the weigh-ins ahead of the card on Saturday night, Ricardo Ramos stepped on the scale at a disastrous 154 lbs for his featherweight matchup with Austin Lingo.
