Three fighters missed weight when they hit the scales ahead of UFC Vegas 109 on Friday morning.

A middleweight bout between Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez will headline this weekend’s offering from MMA’s premier promotion.

However, their fight was hit by a late hiccup when ‘Fluffy’ came in 0.5lbs over the 186lb middleweight limit.

Two undercard stars got a little bit closer, but also failed to hit their marks ahead of UFC Vegas 109.

Anthony Hernandez and two other fighters miss weight

Julija Stoliarenko was the first UFC Vegas 109 fighter to strip off and failed to make weight.

The submission specialist came in just 0.25lbs over the flyweight limit of 126lbs ahead of her fight with Gabriella Fernandes.

Next up, Hernandez got naked before failing to make weight for his second UFC main event.

Joselyne Edwards was the last fighter on the scale. The bantamweight star, who has previously missed weight four times during her 10-fight UFC career, was 0.25lbs over the 136lb limit for her fight with Priscila Cachoeira.

Edwards and the other fighters who missed their mark have one hour to make weight before they face fines.

UPDATE 1: Hernandez made the 186lb limit on his second weigh-in attempt.

UPDATE 2: Edwards made the 136lb limit on her second weigh-in attempt.

UPDATE 3: Stoliarenko made the 126lb limit on her second weigh-in attempt.
