Two fighters appeared to miss weight Thursday in advance of Invicta FC 16. But, in the wacky world of mixed martial arts, sometimes things aren't always as they appear.
Irene Aldana came in .6 pounds over the bantamweight limit and Herica Tiburcio was .9 over the atomweight limit Thursday during weigh-ins at the Tropicana Las Vegas. However, due to a paperwork miscue, the two women did not contractually miss weight and will not be penalized for it, according to Invicta FC president Shannon Knapp.
The bout agreement for Aldana's fight with Jessamyn Duke read 136 pounds and the bout agreement for Tiburcio's bout with Jinh Yu Frey read 106 pounds, Knapp said.
