Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight No. 1 contender, Thiago Alves, missed weight for his lightweight debut against Jim Miller at the upcoming UFC 205 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is scheduled for tomorrow night (Nov. 12, 2016) inside Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Alves (21-10) tipped the scale at 162.6 pounds for their UFC Fight Pass showdown, making him roughly six pounds over the division limit of 156. That’s going to cost him 20 percent of his purse (payable to Miller). Unfortunately, this is not the first time the 33-year-old “Pitbull” failed to make his mark.
