UFC on ESPN 5: Covington vs. Lawler weigh-in results - Williams misses by six pounds for short notice debut

The results are in and all bouts are set to go ahead for this weekend’s UFC card in Newark, NJ. And while the main event is right on target, with both Robbie Lawler and Colby Covington hitting the welterweight mark, two of the night’s undercard bouts will be contested at catchweights.

Both Dong Hyun Ma and Cole Williams failed to get within spitting distance of their respective classes. Ma hit the scales at 158 lbs for his lightweight fight with Scott Holtzman, while Williams ended up at a somewhat appalling 176 lbs for his welterweight bout with Claudio Silva.
