UFC, Welcome to Europe!
GDANSK, Poland – Adam Wieczorek and Anthony Hamilton didn’t appear at UFC Fight Night 118 ceremonial weigh-ins, but the heavyweights will still clash at tomorrow’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed event.
UFC officials told MMAjunkie that the two fighters did not appear on stage because of security concerns inside Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, though their fight will go on as expected.
Wieczorek (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Hamilton (15-8 MMA, 3-6 UFC) were in attendance at the ceremonial weigh-ins. However, a few dozen Lechia Gdansk “ultras” – extreme and sometimes violent supporters of the local soccer team – showed up just prior to the session. Wieczorek is a supporter of Ruch Chorzow, a Lechnia Gdansk rival team from South Poland.
After the group made their presence known with a few synchronized chants, venue staffers put up a barricade in front of the section where the rowdy fans were seated. The UFC took precaution in keeping Wieczorek and Hamilton from participating in the weigh-ins.
Police sporting riot gear quickly gathered outside of the arena, stopping spectators as they exited, and asked for identification.
