UFC on ESPN 50 Weigh In: One Fighter Missed Weight But We Can't Be Mad

This is one of the rare cases when we honestly cannot say anything against a fighter that missed weight. Usually, we are quite harsh with those individuals and we generally advocate for bigger fines for such unprofessionalism. But Dennis Buzukja actually deserves our respect here.

The fighter accepted this fight again Sean Woodston three or four days ago, literally at the start of this week. And he managed to miss weight by 0.5 pounds. His teammates posted on Twitter shortly after the ceremony that Buzukja dropped 21 pounds in 3 days, which is insane.

In reality, he actually was supposed to get an additional hour to cut weight and he was going to succeed if he was given that time. However, the commission decided to not allow him extra time. This is weird given that two weeks ago, we had a case when a fighter got that time for even more weight. Perhaps the commission did it for health-related issues. Such a cut can never be good for your system.

21 pounds in 3 days. Unbelievable sacrifice and determination to get all the way down to 146.5 in such a short time frame. Toughest cut I’ve ever seen. Proud of you @DennisBuzukja now let’s fucking scrap. pic.twitter.com/39eNEnwrph

Fortunately, Dennis Buzukja was also allowed to continue forward with the fight after the UFC on ESPN 50 weigh in ended, and we will not have any cancellations. Instead, his opponent, Sean Woodston, will receive 20% of his purse.

With this said, here are the actual UFC weigh in results in numbers.
