Kelvin Gastelum was the last fighter to weigh in for UFC 244 on Friday morning in New York, successfully making weight at 184 pounds for a middleweight contest with Darren Till.
Moments after the official weigh-ins were wrapped up, though, videos surfaced on social media that showed the UFC fighter touching – and possibly leaning – on his longtime coach Rafael Cordeiro, a move interpreted by some observers as a way to ensure he wouldn’t come over the middleweight limit.
Cordeiro dismissed the controversy as “drama” while talking to MMA Fighting after the weigh-ins.
