Ferreira Azevedo had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 160.1, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Ashitaka Tamura was cancelled. |

Glen Quagmire had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 158.6, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Josh Roughan was cancelled. |
