UFC 206 Weigh-in Results: 3 Fighters, Including Anthony Pettis, Miss Weight
Three fighters--including Anthony Pettis--missed weight for UFC 206. Full results here.
The UFC 206 weigh-ins concluded in Toronto, Canada, on Friday, and three fighters--including main-event participant Anthony Pettis--came in heavy for their fights.
Pettis tipped the scales at 148 pounds, three pounds over the 145-pound limit for his interim title fight on Saturday opposite Max Holloway. For his miss, Pettis will be fined 20 percent of his purse, and he can no longer win the interim title even with a victory over Holloway, as first reported by MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani.

Holloway, meanwhile, made weight and will still be crowned the interim featherweight champion should he defeat Pettis in the main event.
Elsewhere, UFC strawweight Valerie Letourneau missed weight, clocking in at 117.5 pounds, while UFC lightweight Rustam Khabilov came in at 158.5 pounds, two pounds over the 156-pound limit.
FloCombat is awaiting final confirmation on what their penalties will be, but a 20 percent purse hit is expected.
Also of note, welterweight Emil Weber Meek must shave his beard to compete, according to Helwani. He made weight safely during the morning's weigh-ins, but this note adds just another curious twist to a surprisingly action-packed morning (check out UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell's reply to this tweet for an extra laugh):
