Aaron Tau Weigh-In Controversy Sparks Flashbacks from Daniel Cormier Weigh-In Cheat

UFC flyweight hit 122 pounds while resting his elbows on a weigh-in curtain, then reweighed at 129 without it, triggering a UFC 325 cancellation against Namsrai Batbayar. The odd swing drew instant “towelgate” comparisons to Cormier’s old incident, when cover usage sparked controversy. UFC later scrapped the bout after the second reading blew past the limit by seven pounds in minutes.
