LONDON – The fighters took to the scale on Wednesday in England’s capital ahead of Brave CF 24, with all 14 fighters successfully making weight for their respective bouts, but the proceedings weren’t without drama. Brazilian featherweight title challenger Lucas Martins (20-4) needed an additional hour, plus the towel, to successfully make the 145-pound championship weight for his main event bout with champion Bubba Jenkins (13-4). For his part, Jenkins made weight with ease, tipping the scale at 144.6 pounds, and suggested that he may have to face off against himself as Martins’ weight struggles forced proceedings into an extra hour. When the pair eventually faced off, words and gestures were exchanged between the fighters and their respective teams as the tension levels cranked up a notch or two ahead of Thursday’s title clash at the Copper Box
