UFC Vegas 103 lost two undercard fights after a few miscues at the official weighting.
A week after UFC Seattle continued after various combat attacks and switching, the UFC underwent a few more problems before UFC Vegas 103 on the Apex.
UFC Vegas 103 is led by a crucial flight weight conflict between the best contenders of the division, Manel Kape and Asu Almabayev, who will fight it for title positioning. The Co-Main event contains middleweight Brawlerers Cody Brundage and Julian Marquez.
Despite the top two fights of the UFC Vegas 103 card that remained intact, the event lost a few undercard fights due to issues at the official weighting on Friday.

UFC Vegas 103 takes two big hits due to medical problems at Weegwegen
UFC Flyweight Luana Carolina, who has a history of problems on the scales, struggled with her weight broken on Friday prior to her planned fight with Montana de la Rosa. As reported by MMA fights, Carolina could not get within five pounds after the weight limit of the flight weight (126 pounds), and the Nevada State Athletic Commission will not allow her to move forward with a catch.
De La Rosa was willing to combat Carolina at a catch before the committee intervened and had not allowed the match. Carolina missed the weight with three pounds for a collision with Julija Stoliarenko last February, a fight in which she started winning.
In a separate incident, Bantamweight Douglas Silva de Andrade was removed from his planned fight with John Castaneda due to a non -specified medical problem. Silva and Castaneda agreed to a 140 pound catch weight battle before the UFC announced the cancellation of the battle in a recent announcement.
Manel Kape clashes with rising ASU Almabayev in the first UFC head event
From Kape and Almabayev, they are expected to treat fight fans at a show at the UFC Vegas 103 Main Event on Saturday. Kape is fresh from a destructive victory over Bruno Silva in UFC Tampa in December, and despite supplications for a title shot, he received his first booking from UFC Main Event.
KAGE won five of his previous six battles that UFC Vegas 103 entered, including finishes of Ode 'Osbourne and Zhalgas Zhumagulov. Kape's victory over Silva came after a unanimous decision defeat against Muhammad Mokaev on UFC 304 in July.
Almabayev enters UFC Vegas 103 on a 17-Fight-winning series, with UFC victories on Matheus Nicolau and Jose Johnson.
