Dana White had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 163.8, 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 Schlitz Mahpants Jr was cancelled. |
