LAS VEGAS – Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 244 (ESPN+) weigh-ins are in the books, and it was far from a perfect session in “Sin City.”
Three fighters missed their marks on the scale on their first attempts. Jared Gooden (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) was 172.5 pounds for his welterweight bout against Chidi Njokuani (23-10 MMA, 3-3 UFC) on the main card, but was given an additional hour to cut.
Josh Fremd (11-6 MMA, 2-4 UFC), though, will be fined a percentage of his purse if the commission and Abdul Razak Alhassan (12-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) approve a new middleweight bout. Fremd was 3 pounds over at 189. The same goes for Dan Argueta (9-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC), who was heavy for his bantamweight prelim against Cody Haddon (7-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
