Malcolm Gordon, a mixed martial artist scheduled to compete at UFC 297, has missed the flyweight limit by weighing in at 127.5 pounds, 1.5 pounds over the weight class limit. Despite being a considerable betting favorite with odds at -220, his failure to make weight has prompted reactions such as '@DoubleVodkaDon' stating, “if you are laying -200 with Malcolm Gordon, you might be on crack”. Gordon has until 11 a.m. ET to cut down to the flyweight limit of 126 pounds. If he fails to do so, he will face a fine from his purse, the percentage of which is yet to be determined, and his bout against Jimmy Flick will need official approval to proceed.
