Victor Hugo successfully made the featherweight limit when he arrived for the UFC 308 early (and official) weigh ins on Friday morning, just one day ahead of his Farid Basharat fight on the “Prelims” portion of the Oct. 26 fight card, booked for Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Unfortunately, his bout was contracted at bantamweight.
“I made bantamweight like a pro,” Basharat wrote on Instagram. “Opponent missed weight by 10 pounds. To keep the fight [intact] I said I will maul him at featherweight. Gonna make him pay, nothing changes.”
The official weights were 137 (Basharat) and 145.5 (Hugo).
