Michael Johnson was the lone fighter to stumble on the scale at Friday’s weigh-ins for UFC Moncton.
“The Menace” came in one pound heavy for his featherweight co-main event bout opposite Artem Lobov, but outside of that all 26 fighters were on weight for Saturday’s show, which takes place at the Avenir Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick, including headlining light heavyweight contenders Volkan Oezdemir and Anthony Smith.
New Brunswick Combat Sports Commission rules dictate that Lobov must accept 20-percent of Johnson’s purse; however, Lobov is reportedly planning to pay the fee back to Johnson due to Johnson taking the fight on less than two week’s notice as a replacement for Zubaira Tukhugov, per MMAjunkie.
