UFC Vegas 107 delivered despite various combat week hik hik
Jacoby's Knock -Out contributed to what an intriguing night of fighting was at UFC Vegas 107, despite various incidents of the Vechtweek prior to the event. UFC Flyweight Headliner Maycee Barber missed for the first time in her UFC career on Friday with 1.5 pounds, forfeiting a percentage of her bag to Erin Blanchfield.
A welterweight matchup between Trevin Giles and Andreas Gustafsson was canceled after Giles had suffered a head injury during his weight area. Gustafsson was originally supposed to face Jeremiah Wells opposite UFC Vegas 107 before Wells withdrew due to injury.
Fly weight Allan Nascimento and Bantamweight Ketlen Vieira also missed weight for their fighting.
Jacoby fell on Pereira during their professional kickboxing career on Glory 14 through the first round knockout. Pereira is expected to return later this year in a rematch against UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Magomed Ankalaev.
