UFC 302 is just a few hours away, and the fans are super excited about the upcoming event. Some of the best fighters in the promotion are desperate to showcase their skills in front of thousands. The official weigh-ins have been completed, and it seems that Andre Lima will be fined. Lima will be taking on Mitch Raposo in the flyweight division. The Brazilian impressed one and all with his previous performance and will be up against a very competitive Raposo in the card headlined by Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier. Before his clash, let us find out the consequences the 25-year-old had to face for missing the weight.
According to the latest development, the clash between Lima and Raposo will happen as per schedule. However, there will be a fine imposed on the Brazilian which is believed to be around 30% of his purse. Lima competes in the flyweight division and missed the weight by four pounds, thus leading to the fine. Guilherme Cruz shared a post that read, “Andre Lima missed weight for his UFC 302 flyweight fight with Mitch Raposo, coming in at 130 pounds. Lima’s manager told me the fight is on and he’s fined 30% of his purse (show and win, if victorious) for the big miss.“
