Justin Scoggins Withdraws from UFC 201 Due to Weight-Cutting Issues

Justin Scoggins has pulled out of a scheduled clash with Ian McCall at UFC 201 due to trouble with his weight cut, according to multiple reports.

BloodyElbow.com first confirmed the news with Scoggins’ father, Chris Scoggins.

"We just had to make a horrible, disappointing call," Chris Scoggins told BloodyElbow.com. "Justin could not get below 132.5 pounds. He was all good and his body just stopped allowing the weight to come off. No sweating, nothing. That's too much [of a] weight difference for a catch-weight so Justin is out.
