One fighter dropped weight Friday morning at the UFC Vegas 123 official weigh-in, as Francis Marshall tipped the scales at 148 pounds for his undercard bout against Dakota Hope — two pounds over the featherweight non-title limit.
As a result, Marshall will lose 20% of his sack prospect and their headliner press will be moved during the draft.
