UFC 227 was a great night in the Octagon, but perhaps not on the scales.
Of the 24 fighters who competed on the card Saturday in Los Angeles, just six weighed within California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) regulations on fight night, per a document obtained from CSAC by MMA Fighting.
CSAC rules state that any fighters who come in higher than 10 percent above their contracted weight class in a fight-day weight check can be recommended to move up a division in the future. At Staples Center, 18 fighters — three-quarters of the card — came in above that 10-percent marker.
