Video: Tito Ortiz misses weight for fight with Anderson Silva

Tito Ortiz and Anderson Silva are scheduled to box tomorrow night at Triller Fight Club underneath the main event of Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort. However, ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ almost threw a wrench in the works when he came in heavy at the official weigh-ins today.

Silva and Ortiz are supposed to face each other in a 195 lbs catchweight bout, but Ortiz tipped the scales at 200 lbs. Silva came in within that limit. You can see that moment below:

It’s not a big surprise considering that Ortiz had said repeatedly that he expects to not make weight for the contest and that he felt the set catchweight limit was unfair.
