Sijara Eubanks has lost another fight on the scale.
Weigh-ins at UFC Vegas 67, Friday morning, Saturday in Las Vegas. Officials announced that Eubanks had to pull out due to issues with weight management. The fight against Priscila Camoeira, her flyweight opponent has been cancelled.
Cachoeira gained 126 weight. Eubanks wasn’t present at official weigh-ins.
This is not the first time Eubanks has had trouble with the scale. Eubanks’ UFC debut in 2017 was originally set to take place in the finals of The Ultimate Fighter 26, a bout that was to crown the inaugural UFC women’s flyweight champion. However, Eubanks suffered kidney failure while attempting to make weight and was replaced by Roxanne Modafferi.
Eubanks also lost weight since joining UFC, for fights against Modafferi, Melissa Gatto and Melissa Gatto. The latter was Eubanks’ most recent fight, December 2021.. Eubanks was defeated by Gatto in the third round via TKO.
It is not yet known if the bout will be rescheduled or if Cachoeira and Eubanks will receive new opponents for their next bookings.
