NEW YORK — Thiago Alves missed weight by quite a bit, but he'll still be able to fight Saturday night.
Alves hit the scale at 162.6 pounds, 6.6 over the lightweight limit, on Friday morning at UFC 205 official weigh-ins at the Affinia Manhattan. The fight would have been off had Miller made the usual 155 or 156 pounds due to New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) rules, but he was told Alves missed weight, so he began rehydrating. Miller weighed in at 157.6.
The commission would have pulled the fight had Alves and Miller weighed in more than five pounds apart, per NYSAC rule.
