Dana White told to cut undefeated UFC prospect as he misses weight for debut at UFC Vegas 104

Dana White told fans that he should cut Diyar Nurgozhay after the unbeaten prospect was much overweight for his UFC debut.

The light-heavy competitioner won his way to the promotion with a huge knockout victory over Bartosz Szewczyk on the Contender Series of Dana White in October. But he arrived enormously at the scales for today's event about the long -term limit of 206 pounds.

Now fans want white to be ruthless and let him go off his contract before he even gets the chance to fight in the Octagon. His opponent, Brendson Ribeiro, was weight as expected a little later and the fight still happens.

Diyar Nurgozhay lacks weight for Brendson Ribeiro fight on UFC Vegas 104

On Friday afternoon, the main event made stars Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze comfortable weight for UFC Vegas 104 as the first on the scale. Minutes later, DIYAR Nurgozhay casually approached the scales and weighed at 210.5 pounds for a fight of 206 pounds.

A few moments it seemed that the fight might be in balance, because he didn't even choose to use the towel or tried to lose further kilos. However, when Ribeiro entered 205.5LB, the couple agreed to continue with the competition.

It is still unclear what percentage of Nurgozhay's wallet will receive that Ribeiro, but as usual for a weight miss, he was given the choice to continue or not.

After the fact, fans were furious with what had happened. Nurgozhay was not the only hunter who misses the weight in front of the card; Chidi Njokuani was 1.5 pounds passed, while Josias Musasa still got a chance to lose the .5LB he was over.

In comments about social media, several writers insisted on Dana White to get rid of the promotional newbie. It was noted that “Bro gave zero f – s”, while another wrote: “Cut him now @danawhite completely unprofessional. It doesn't deserve to fight in UFC.”

That seemed to be the consensus, with another commentator and added: “Cut him immediately, first day at work .. Give the other man win money and continue.”
