Very odd weigh-in for William Gomis. The weigh-in show are saying he's not going to make weight because he looks like hell. He gets on the scale and is 143 pounds (3 lbs below the cutoff with allowance) and needs help off the scale.
William Gomis makes weight but has to be helped off the scales. He looked absolutely terrible. So bad I didn’t even take a screenshot. #UFC301

William Gomis just weighed in at 143 lbs. Also wore his t-shirt on the scale, which was weird. Had to be physically lifted off the stage by his team. Looked like he had a horrible weight cut. What the hell? #UFC301
