Ismael Bonfim Misses Weight by Over Seven Pounds for UFC Vegas 122

Ismael Bonfim encountered significant issues on the scale ahead of UFC Vegas 122, weighing in at 163.5 pounds for his scheduled lightweight contest against Francisco Prado. The weight check, which occurred on Friday, placed Bonfim 7.5 pounds over the non-title limit of 156 pounds. This marks the third time during his tenure with the promotion that Bonfim has failed to make the required weight for a bout. As of the time of the official weigh-ins, the promotion has not yet released a statement regarding the status of the matchup or any potential penalties for the fighter. The consistent difficulty in hitting the lightweight mark raises questions about his future at the division limit. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation closely, as the status of the bout remains uncertain following the substantial miss.
