RIO DE JANEIRO – Anthony Johnson today grossly missed the middleweight mark required for his co-main event bout with Vitor Belfort at UFC 142.
Prior to the start of weigh-ins, UFC president Dana White said Johnson would “badly” miss weight.
Moments later, when he officially weighed 197 pounds, officials announced Johnson has been fined 20 percent of his “show” money (which goes to Belfort), and after rehydrating, he can weigh no more than 205 pounds on fight day.
