The British Association of Mixed Martial Arts held their weigh-ins for this Saturday’s, September 10, BAMMA 7 event, which is set to go down at The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.
Two main card fighters failed to make weight for the event, with one fighter pulling out of the fight earlier in the day.
If you would have guessed that one of those fighters was Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley, then you would be right. Daley failed to make weight for his welterweight bout with Jordan Radev, tipping the scales at 176 lbs, a full five pounds over the 171 lb welterweight limit.
‘Semtex’ was given an extra two-hours to drop the weight but turned it down, posting on Facebook that the fight was off. Instead of cancelling the bout Radev opted to face Daley in a 176 lbs catchweight bout making the fight official for the co-main event.
Daley explained to the press that the reason that several of the fighters were coming in overweight was due to the hotel saunas breaking down hours before the weigh-ins.
A last minute change saw lightweight title contender Leonardo Santos fail to even show up for the weigh-ins, opting to stay in Paris, France instead. Santos pulled himself out of the match because he was not going to make weight for the title match with Rob Sinclair and would not take a non-title fight because of the penalty in his contract to his fight purse for not making weight.
BAMMA officials pulled in a last minute replacement, pitting BAMMA 5 fighter Diego Vital against Sinclair for the World Lightweight Championship.
The main card and preliminary card of BAMMA 7 will stream live on the promotions Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bammauk) beginning at 2:15PM EST (11:15AM PST), with the main card beginning at 4PM EST (1PM PST) for fans living outside of the U.K. and Canada.
