Undercard Fighters Exceed Contracted Weight at UFC Vegas 108 Weigh-Ins Friday

All was not routine on the scales today at the weigh-ins. Two contestants, both on the prelims, missed weight. Tresean Gore (189 1/2 lbs) exceeded the 186-lb nontitle maximum for middleweight competitors, along with flyweight Rafael Estevam (130 lbs), who came in 4 lbs over the 126-lb flyweight limit. Both of these fights are now proceeding as catchweight affairs.

When it comes to Rafael Estevam, he’ll forfeit 25 percent of his wages for tomorrow night’s fight to his opponent, Felipe Bunes. The latter made weight at 125 lbs earlier this morning.  Tresean Gore will also lose 25 percent of his money to Rodolfo Vieira, who was on-target at 185 lbs.
