Takashi Sato has successfully weighed for his fight at UFC London despite posting a worrying weight-cut picture.
Sato fights UFC veteran Gunnar Nelson in the English capital this Saturday, replacing the injured Claudio Silva on less than two weeks' notice. The Japanese native makes his return to the cage at the London event for the first time since 2020.
He posted a picture of himself whilst cutting weight on Thursday evening in a sauna suit with the caption: "I feel like I'm going to die." But Sato later backtracked on his original post by claiming it was "fake" and his weight cut was going well.
