Francis Marshall misses weight by 2lb for UFC Vegas 123 fight with Dakota Hope
The featherweight came in at 148lb and was the only one of the 24 fighters on Saturday's card to miss at Friday's official weigh-ins in Las Vegas.
Francis Marshall weighed 148lb at the official UFC Vegas 123 weigh-ins in Las Vegas on Friday, two pounds over the 146lb limit for a non-title featherweight bout. The other 23 fighters on the card all made weight.
MMA Fighting said it was not yet known whether his fight with Dakota Hope would go ahead at a catchweight, or what share of his purse Marshall would forfeit.
Hope stepped in on less than a month's notice, replacing Gaston Bolanos, who withdrew with an eye injury. Marshall v Hope is on the prelims in the 21:00 slot on Saturday 31 October, according to our UK start time page, which has the full running order.
Higher up the card, Randy Brown and Jacobe Smith both weighed 170.5lb for their welterweight co-main event, and headliners Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan came in at 156lb and 155.5lb for the main event.
