UFC Atlantic City weigh-in results: Two fighters miss weight, one bout cancelled

Tomorrow night, the UFC will touch down in Atlantic City, New Jersey with an exciting night of fights. Ahead of this UFC Atlantic City card, the fighters on the bill took to the scales to weigh in for battle.

The card’s official weigh-ins were unfortunately ridden with misses and other unfortunate twists.

The most notable weigh-in miss of the bunch came courtesy of headliner Kevin Lee, who missed weight for his headlining lightweight bout against Edson Barboza. After a lengthy wait, Lee tipped the scales at 157 pounds, and was not given additional time to continue his cut, per the rules of the New Jersey Athletic Commission.

Undercard fighter Aspen Ladd also missed weight for her bantamweight bout with Leslie Smith, and did not continue cutting thereafter. Finally, an undercard flyweight bout between Japan’s Ulka Sasaki and Russia’s Magomed Bibulatov was scrapped when the latter failed to make it to the scale.
