Tafa becomes first heavyweight in UFC history to miss weight

The weigh-in took place before the UFC Vegas 45 tournament. Australian Justin Tafa did not fit into the heavy weight. He became the first promotional fighter to fail the weigh-in in that weight class.

The weight of the Australian was 121.11 kg, which is 450 grams more than allowed. At the tournament, he must fight against the American Gary Hunsaker. This fight is scheduled for the preliminary card.

The main fight of the tournament Derrick Lewis – Chris Dakas will also take place in the same category. Lewis turned out to be much heavier than his opponent – 120.2 kg versus 106.82.
