The former U.S. Army sniper was set to debut in the UFC against Albert Tumenov at UFC 188 last Saturday night in Mexico City. It didn't happen. Todhunter passed out attempting to cut weight two days before weigh-ins and a day later UFC doctors called the fight off, deeming him unfit to compete.
Todhunter (7-0), a top prospect out of Legacy Fighting Championship, took the fight on less than two weeks notice and had to cut more than 30 pounds to make the welterweight maximum of 171 pounds. But the Oklahoma native said it was really the elevation in Mexico City, not a shoddy weight cut, that caused him to pass out in an Epsom salt bath that Wednesday night.
