Diego Ferreira failed to register his weight at Friday’s UFC 237 weigh-ins and subsequently, his lightweight meeting with Francisco Trinaldo has been scrapped from the card.
Sources confirmed the news to MMA Fighting during the weigh-in ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on Friday morning, and the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) confirmed the news.
Trinaldo (23-6-0) was set for his first competitive outing in 2019 after his scheduled January fights with Islam Makhachev and Alexander Hernandez never came to fruition. A veteran of 18 UFC appearances, Trinaldo successfully registered his weight at 154.
