Held this Friday (6), the official weigh-in for UFC Vegas 113 was problematic. However, the protagonists of the event that takes place this Saturday (7), Vinicius Lokdog , who struggles to compete in the bantamweight division (up to 61,2 kg), and Mario Bautista showed professionalism on the scale, confirming the main fight. On the other hand, Eduarda Ronda, Gianni Vazquez, Muin Gafurov and Wang Cong left something to be desired, exceeding the weight limit.

Furthermore, this wasn't the first time the Brazilian fighter failed to make weight. At UFC Vegas 113, Eduarda was the only representative of the 'Brazilian Squad' who didn't make weight.

Lokdog, Jailton Malhadinho , and Jean Matsumoto , on the main card, and Bruna Brasil , Ketlen Esquentadinha , and Priscila Pedrita , on the preliminary card, fulfilled their pre-fight obligation. Despite the quartet failing to make weight, all fights were maintained at UFC Vegas 113.

Lokdog scares

It's no secret that Lokdog has trouble competing in the bantamweight division. One of the strongest and heaviest fighters in the category, the Brazilian appeared at the ceremony with an apathetic expression. But, despite the suffering, the athlete weighed in at 61,6 kg, staying within the division's limit. Upon stepping off the scale, the relieved bad boy celebrated silently, without making a fuss, and walked slowly.

On the other hand, Bautista was in excellent health. The first to weigh in, the American registered 61,4 kg on the scale, not appearing to have suffered from the weight cut.

Much lighter mesh

With Malhadinho, the opposite happened. The Brazilian, small by heavyweight standards (up to 120,2 kg), is shocking as he comes in well below the category limit, and this time was no different. Naturally, the athlete performed well and weighed 109,3 kg, that is, ten kilos less than Rizvan Kuniev , his opponent.

Recurring problem

A member of the flyweight division (up to 57 kg), Ronda was the last to appear at the ceremony, thus confirming the suspicion of a problem with the weight cut. The Brazilian weighed in at 57,6 kg. It's worth noting that Eduarda competed in the strawweight division (up to 52,2 kg) and, as she had been underperforming at weigh-ins, she was invited to move up a weight class.

Now, the fighter still hasn't made weight, even for the flyweight division. Interestingly, Wang Cong , her opponent, weighed in at 57,8 kg, also exceeding the weight limit for that category.
