At UFC 299, all fighters made weight except for CJ Vergara, who weighed in at 127.0 lbs, one pound over the limit. Despite this, Vergara was given an hour to make a second attempt. Ultimately, he was fined 30% for his one-pound miss. This fine was particularly steep due to it being Vergara's third offense of missing weight. Despite the fine, his fight against Asu Almabaev will proceed as planned.
