UFC 271 Weigh-in Results: Title Fight Set; William Knight 12 Pounds Heavy

The Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight title will be on the line at UFC 271 as both Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker weighed 184 pounds for the highly-anticipated rematch.

While the headliners were professional, not every fighter on the 15-fight card managed to come in at their contracted weight or even close to it. William Knight embarrassingly missed the light heavyweight limit by 12 pounds and his bout against Maxim Grishin was shifted to heavyweight as a result. Additionally, Alex Perez came in two pounds heavy for his flyweight bout against Matt Schnell.
