Friday’s UFC Vegas 12 weigh-ins proved to be eventful.
There was no drama with Saturday’s headliners as Uriah Hall (186) and Anderson Silva (184) successfully made weight for their middleweight encounter, but the card lost one preliminary fight and two (potentially three) fighters failed to beat the scale.
A flyweight bout between Cortney Casey and Priscila Cachoeira was canceled due to Cachoeira having weight management issues, according to the UFC.
Cachoeira’s manager told MMA Fighting that they had initially agreed to move the fight to 135 pounds, but Cachoeira hit the back of her head on a bathtub after slipping and falling while cutting weight.
