UFC Has Cut Bryan Battle Following Back-to-Back Weight Misses

A former Ultimate Fighter winner, Battle held a 12-2 record but failed to make weight twice after moving from welterweight to middleweight. His UFC 319 bout with Nursulton Ruziboev was scrapped after he came in four pounds over the 186-lb limit. Cutting a fighter for missing weight is rare, as winners like Khamzat Chimaev didn’t get cut despite pulling off multiple times.
