Pablo Cruz had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 138.1, 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 Sam Holt was cancelled. |

Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
