UPDATE: Max Holloway is medically unfit to compete. Anthony Pettis weighed in at 155.2 pounds. While Pettis was given two hours to shed the .2 pounds, he did not come back out. Paul Felder recently confirmed that he offered to fill in, but the New York State Athletic Commission wouldn’t allow it.
UPDATE #2: An announcement regarding UFC 223’s status was not made during the weigh-ins. Something is expected to be announced later today.
After a wild media day, the UFC rolls along with weigh-ins.
Today (April 6), the early morning UFC 223 weigh-ins will take place. All 20 fighters on the card will tip the scales. That’s right, only 20 fighters which was not the number originally scheduled.
Three fights on the UFC 223 card have been canceled as a result of the actions of Conor McGregor, Artem Lobov, and their entourage yesterday afternoon. Shortly after media day, McGregor and co. stormed the Barclays Center and made their way to a van holding red corner fighters.
From there, McGregor and his crew shattered the glass window of the van, cutting main card fighter Michael Chiesa and sending debris into the eyes of Ray Borg. As a result, Chiesa vs. Anthony Pettis has been canceled and Borg vs. Brandon Moreno is off. UFC president Dana White also pulled Lobov from the card, so he will not be facing Alex Caceres.
