UFC Fight Night 214 weigh-in results: A record-tying four weight misses

LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 214 fighter weigh-ins, which was a fairly big disaster.

The weigh-ins took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The same venue hosts Saturday’s card, which streams on ESPN+.

Among those weighing in were Marina Rodriguez (16-1-2 MMA, 6-1-2 UFC) and Amanda Lemos (12-2-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who meet in the women’s strawweight main event, and Neil Magny (26-10 MMA, 19-8 UFC) and Daniel Rodriguez (17-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC), who fight in the welterweight co-feature. There were no issues for the top two fights on the card, but that’s largely where it stopped.

Five fighters came in heavy on their first attempt, with Grant Dawson, Shanna Young, Benito Lopez, Carlos Candelario and Ramona Pascual all coming in over their contracted limits. Only Young was cleared to keep cutting weight, and she eventually hit women’s flyweight limit – after cutting off some hair – on her second attempt.
