Randy Brown recently launched a scathing attack on Bryan Battle after he missed weight at this morning's weigh-ins. He sounded off on his opponent and blasted him for being unprofessional, especially knowing that he was unable to make weight ahead of time.
The former TUF winner weighed in at 175 pounds, which is 4 pounds over the welterweight limit for non-title fights. As a result, the bout will now be contested as a 175-pound catchweight and Battle will be required to forfeit a percentage of his fighter purse for UFC 310.
'Rudeboy' took to his Instagram account and expressed his frustration with 'The Butcher' missing weight for their bout tomorrow night. He noted that although the bout is contested at a 175-pound catchweight, the former TUF winner will likely weigh significantly more than him when they fight. Brown mentioned that he has never missed weight and questioned why Battle didn't inform the promotion earlier knowing that he wasn't able to make 171 pounds:
"19 walks to the UFC octagon alone. 6 on the regional scene and I've never missed weight not one time. Like a true professional. Brian knew he wasn't gonna make the weight from day before but still let me suffer through a weight cut. These guys bite the bullet on percentage then come in overweight on purpose so they can get a weight advantage on fight night. I'll be no more than 185 tmrw. I would bet he'll be well over 200 tmrw."

Randy Brown believes Bryan Battle should receive a hefty fine for weight miss
In addition to sounding off on Bryan Battle missing weight by 4 pounds for their bout tomorrow night at UFC 310, Randy Brown said that he believes the former TUF winner should also receive a very hefty fine to set the tone for unprofessionalism.
Brown reposted his appearance on Canadian outlet Sportsnet's UFC 310 weigh-in show, where he shared his immediate thoughts after Battle's weight miss. He included a caption mentioning that fines need to be increased for fighters who can't make their contested weights:
"Professionalism is a must. We gotta start holding these guys to a higher standard. Start taxing them heavy with 50% or more."
