How Many Missed Weights Are Fighters Allowed.

[msm1981]

Trying not to sound stupid but how many missed weights are
fighters allowed before Mick Maynard & Sean Shelby start
booking them weight classes up since I know Yoel Romero
has 2 missed weights in a row and John Lineker had 4 before
he got sent back to Bantamweight.

Bout tree fiddy.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

As many as it takes.

 

[Grijswaarde]

Tree fiddy fo sho.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

3 should get you banned from division.

UFC either need to have weight class at every 10 pounds -or- go back to 5 weight classes.

plus, a true martial artist should beat any human, whether fat, skinny, supertall.

It depends on if the UFC likes you. Dern has missed weight in 3 of her 7 pro fights. Nearly half! But she's not being forced to move up as far as I know.

Hope I'm wrong about that one though.

 

[UL]

depends on the fighter and the love they get from the ufc owners

 

[campbecc]

like everything in the UFC it's largely random, depends on how Dana is feeling that day

 

[Rondas Pillow]

Bout tree fiddy.

You goddamn lock ness monster

 

[Kryptt]

No hard and fast rules really..

Look to Rumble, Hendricks and Gastelum for prolly the best examples.

 

[Kal Drago]

Depends on how much money you make for the company. Connor could come in 10 lbs overweight for 10 fights in a row and UFC brass would "act" mad about it, but not do shit.

Zero. I don't think the UFC has an official policy which "allows" a certain number. They probably evaluate on a case by case basis. Making weight is part of the job and if you are a professional then ideally you will never miss it. But sometimes bad things happen. I'm sure the UFC looks to see if there is a pattern of behavior and whether or not you are clearly engaged in bad habits that make a miss more likely. Then, depending on the circumstances, they will either advise or require you to go to a different weightclass.
