UFC Mexico weigh-ins: Several fighters miss weight in return to Mexico City

The UFC is returning to Mexico for the first time in years with a Fight Night card with several rematches on the line.

Headlining the card is a rematch between former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and former title challenger Brandon Royval. The co-main is another rematch, this time between Brian Ortega and Yair Rodriguez.

Unfortunately one of the many rematches on the card already hit a hiccup. Edgar Chairez and Daniel Lacerda both missed weight for their rematch.

Chairez weighed in at 131 pounds, five pounds over the 126-pound limit while Lacerda came in a pound heavy at 127 pounds.

The first fight drew a lot of attention when they fought to a no contest due to a referee mistake. Referee Chris Tognoni stopped the fight during a Chairez choke, but it should not have been stopped and was deemed a no contest. It looks like the bad luck is continuing.
