UFC Jacksonville weigh-ins: UFC Jacksonville: Emmett vs Topuria weigh-ins: Which fighters failed to make weight for the upcoming event?

UFC officials hosted the weigh-ins for the UFC Jacksonville Fight Night at the promotion's Apex facility in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada. The highlight of this event is a captivating showdown in the featherweight division, between Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria.

Although most of the 28 fighters slated to compete on Saturday night successfully met their weight requirements without any issues, two fighters encountered a setback by missing their respective weight limits.

Loik Radzhabov, a newcomer to the UFC, failed to make the lightweight non-title limit of 156 pounds. Regrettably 'The Tajik Tank' tipped 1.25 pounds over the stipulated weight for his bout against Mateusz Rebecki. As a consequence, Radzhabov has incurred a monetary penalty equivalent to 20 percent of his purse.

Due to this circumstance, his scheduled fight against Tatsuro Taira has been scrapped from the event's lineup. The UFC confirmed the cancellation of the bout via an official statement on the organization's official website, which reads:

"The flyweight bout between Tatsuro Taira and Kleydson Rodrigues has been cancelled from this weekend’s card due to Rodrigues being three pounds (129 lbs.) over the weight limit.”
