The official weigh-ins for UFC on ESPN 50 are in the books, and one fighter missed his mark in “Music City.” In the main event, Cory Sandhagen (16-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) takes on Rob Font (20-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) in a crucial bantamweight bout. Sandhagen and Font were the first two fighters to the scale in the two-hour window and hit their marks without issue. In this case, the number had to be 140 pounds or less and not 136 or less for a bantamweight non-title fight because Font took the bout on short notice. Font was 139; Sandhagen was 139.5 to make the headliner official. Just one fighter missed weight, and it’d be hard to not feel a little empathy.
