The UFC middleweight contender missed weight by 3.3 pounds at UFC 221 weigh-ins Friday night (Saturday in Australia) for his scheduled UFC interim middleweight title fight against Luke Rockhold in Perth. Romero had to be 185 pounds or less to fight for the title and he came in at 188.3. The Cuban fighter has two hours to drop the weight and reach the middleweight limit.
If Romero cannot make the weight in two hours, then only Rockhold will be able to win the interim belt. The fight might still go on, but if Romero doesn’t reach 185 he cannot win the title even if he’s victorious in the fight.
