One fighter missed weight Friday morning at UFC Vegas 123’s official weigh-ins, as Francis Marshall tipped the scales at 148 pounds for his undercard bout against Dakota Hope — two pounds over the featherweight non-title limit.
The UFC has yet to give official word on Marshall’s status, but he will likely be fined a percentage of his purse and his prelim headliner against Hope will likely move forward as a catchweight bout.
Marshall’s miss was the lone blemish of Friday’s proceedings in Las Vegas — all 23 other fighters on the card hit their required weights, including main-eventers Renato Moicano (156) and Tom Nolan (155.5), both of whom hit their marks for their five-round lightweight showdown.
