A pair of UFC 227 fighters are being targeted by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) with regards to weight-cutting rules.
CSAC is recommending that Alex Perez and Brett Johns move up in weight following their UFC 227 fights last weekend in Los Angeles, because both came in well over CSAC regulations in a fight-day weight check, CSAC executive officer Andy Foster told MMA Fighting on Tuesday.
A note will be added to the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC) database about the recommendation. Perez and Johns will have to move to bantamweight and lightweight, respectively, unless cleared by a doctor to compete in their current divisions.
