Outside of the top bouts, not much professionalism was on display
during the LFA
115 weigh-ins.
The
Legacy Fighting Alliance‘s latest event will be headlined by a
light heavyweight title bout between Joshua
Silveira and Tee
Cummins, who both made weight. Both fighters vying for the belt
are undefeated. Silveira sports a 5-0 record, and most recently
choked out Rafael
Viana and Matthew
Paul. Cummins is 4-0 and has finished all four of his past
opponents. Neither man had trouble making weight, as Silveira
tipped the scale at 204 pounds, and “The Experiment” weighed 203.8
pounds.
However, five fighters on the card missed weight and caused a slew
of changes to the card. This includes Bryan
Bautista withdrawing from his bantamweight bout against
Mando
Gutierrez due to issues cutting weight. Other fighters that
missed weight include Hilarie
Rose, James
Roland Waller, Reshal
Malik and Anteze
Howard. All their respective bouts will continue, although they
will pay a penalty to their opponents. Two additional matches in
the form of a flyweight tilt between Jeff
Jepsen and Tyus White
as well as an amateur bantamweight battle between Gabriel
Wanderley and Pierre
Hampton were scratched for undisclosed reasons.
The LFA 115 main card will air live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 9
p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Friday night.
