LAS VEGAS – The main event for UFC on ESPN 35 is official, but it didn’t come without hiccups
Rob Font (19-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) missed weight for the bantamweight headliner with Marlon Vera (20-7-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC). Both men stepped on the scale Friday in Las Vegas to make the UFC on ESPN 35 headliner official.
Vera was the first fighter at the weigh-in session to step on the scale. “Chito” used his one-pound allowance for a non-title bout and weighed in at 136 pounds. Font, however, entered the weigh-in room approximately 61 minutes into the two-hour window. He was 138.5 pounds, which is 2.5 pounds over the limit.
