The highly-anticipated New York City UFC fight card just lost an awesome match up. Two UFC fighters will have to sideline UFC 205 this Saturday night.
According to MMA Fighting, Donald Cerrone lost his welterweight opponent at the official weigh-ins. Kelvin Gastelum couldn’t make weight on Friday for his UFC 205 match up with Cerrone. So the fight was pulled off entirely, and a catchweight fight was not considered. Cerrone hit 170.4 pounds effortlessly at the Affinia Manhattan, but Gastelum, who has a history of weight struggles, did not weigh-in at all.
Gastelum later apologized to Cerrone on Twitter and stated he is “extremely dissapointed” with the outcome.
I will not be fighting @Cowboycerrone 2morrow on account that I couldn't make the wght limit. I apologize 2 cowboy ure a legend. God bless.
