Watch: Eryk Anders Barely Makes Weight For UFC Belem, Two Others Also Missed The Weight

Last updated on February 2nd, 2018

Eryk Anders is scheduled to compete against former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida in the main event on UFC Fight Night Belem on Saturday night (Feb. 3, 2018) inside Mangueirinho Gymnasium in Belem, Brazil. But on Friday morning, Anders had difficulties making 185 pounds for the bout.

Eryk Anders, an undefeated middleweight up-and-comer came in at 187.9 pounds on his first attempt for his main middleweight bout against former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, who was 186.

Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) granted Anders an additional hour to make weight since he was the headliner. Anders was able to drop the two pounds in time and came in at 186 on his second attempt, as per MMAFighting.com.

Lyoto Machida is looking to end a three-fight losing streak in his native country opposite one of the hottest prospects in UFC.

Well, that’s not all.

Two other fighters also had difficulties with making weight. Pedro Munhoz missed the bantamweight limit for his co-main event against two-time flyweight title challenger, John Dodson by four pounds, coming in at 140, while Dodson made it easy 135 pounds.

News just came via MMAFighting, Dodson has decided not to take the fight as his opponent fail to make even weight.

Michel Prazeres was also over the lightweight mark at 161. Both fighters were fined 20-percent of their purses, payable to their opponents.

If both fighters Munhoz and Prazeres scores a victory on Saturday night, they also would forfeit 20 percent of their win bonuses to their opponents.

Update on UFC Belem fines: CABMMA has the right to take 10%, but decided not to, so Dodson and Green will full 20% (if the fights happen, it's not decided yet). If they lose to Munhoz and Prazeres, they will receive extra 20% from their opponents’ win money. Great move by CABMMA.
