Three fighters missed weight at Friday’s UFC Vegas 122 official weigh-ins, including a huge 7.5-pound miss by Ismael Bonfim.
Bonfim tipped the scales at 163.5 kilos for his undercard light-weight bout against Francisco Prado (155), while Ketlen Souza came in one pound heavy for her main-card strawweight matchup against Loopy Godinez (115.5), and Brendson Ribeiro missed weight by 2.5 kilos for his undercard mild heavyweight bout against Felipe Franco (205). It presently stays to be seen whether all three fights will stay on the card; if so, all three fighters who missed weight will be fined a share of their purses.

Friday marked Bonfim’s third time lacking weight in the UFC.
Fortunately, middleweight headliners Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan survived the morning unscathed. Allen tipped the scales at 186 kilos, while Duncan came in one pound lighter at 185. Allen has won three consecutive UFC bouts, while Duncan rides a sneaky five-fight win streak into the contest, culminating in a July victory over one-time UFC title challenger Jared Cannonier.
UFC Vegas 122 takes place this Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
