UFC London early weigh-in results: Fighter misses weight by 8 pounds
LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 20: Movsar Evloev of Russia poses on the scale during the UFC Fight Night official weigh-in at The Hilton London Canary Wharf on March 20, 2026 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) UFC London early weigh-ins are done and we can breathe a sigh of relief now that the main card remains intact. All twelve fighters including headliners Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy have successfully weighed in for their fights at the O2 Arena on March 21st.
There was one big weigh-in flub from the prelims, though, and it comes from repeat weigh-in misser Luana Carolina, who stepped on the scales in London at 144 pounds for her 136 pound limit bantamweight fight. That’s eight pounds over, and the UFC decided to scrap her fight with U. K.
fighter Melissa Mullins. Carolina, who entered the UFC off Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil 3, not only missed weight twice when competing at flyweight but had a fight cancelled due to weight cut complications as well. That prompted the UFC to force her up to women’s bantamweight, but here we are a year later and Carolina has blown past the bantamweight limit too.
Given the official reaction, we have doubts “Dread” will get another shot on UFC scales. Melissa Mullins – 136 lbs Luana Carolina – 144 lbs #UFCLondon | Saturday, Primetime | LIVE on TNT Sports & discovery+ pic. twitter.
