    Yoel Romero misses weight – Has two hours to cut three pounds

    Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero have had to be separated today at the UFC 221 weigh in after Yoel Romero weighed in at 188 pounds – 3 pounds over the middleweight limit.

    To loud cheers of the Perth crowd, Luke Rockhold said he was a professional and always turned up on weight.

    Romero proceeded to tell the crowed that he will go to the sauna and easily cut the last three pounds. If he is unable to reach the 185 pound limit, Romero will not be able to fight for the title. The fight will go on however, but only Rockhold would become the interim champion with a victory.

    Unlike the normal process, there was no early weigh in for the Perth event. All fighters weighed in for their first time on stage in front of the fans. With the weigh in beginning at 11am and the first fight taking place tomorrow at 730am, most of the fighters have less than 24 hours to re-hydrate.

    A full video replay can be found right here.
