The main card of the UFC 291 tournament has lost one of its fights. It's about the confrontation between Stephen Thompson and Michel Pereira. The fact is that the Brazilian could not make weight, having exceeded the limit of the welterweight category by more than 1 kilogram. Thompson decided not to fight.
“In the morning I made weight, as I did before absolutely every fight in my 11-year career in the UFC, but my opponent did not. This is not the first time my opponent has failed a weigh-in, and given similar experience in the past years, my team and I decided that it would be unwise to leave the fight in force, ”Stephen said.
