UFC Fight Night 112 weigh-in results: 2, including Johny Hendricks, come in heavy

OKLAHOMA CITY – MMAjunkie was on scene and reporting live from today’s early and official UFC Fight Night 112 fighter weigh-ins, where two fighters, including an ex-champ, came in heavy.

The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Oklahoma City, Okla. There are no ceremonial weigh-ins for the event, which takes place Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. The main card airs on FS1 following prelims on FS2 and UFC Fight Pass.

Among those weighing in were lightweight headliners Michael Chiesa (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Kevin Lee (15-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), as well as middleweight co-main-event fighters Tim Boetsch (20-11 MMA, 11-10 UFC) and Johny Hendricks (18-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC).

The headliners made weight with issue. But Hendricks, a former welterweight champ who struggled to make the 171-pound limit, today missed weight at middleweight. He was two pounds over the 186-pound limit.

Jared Gordon (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who meets Michel Quinones (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) on the UFC Fight Pass prelims, also missed weight. He weighed three pounds over the 146-pound limit.

Hendricks and Gordon will now fight their respective opponents in catchweight bouts. They’ve each been fined 20 percent of their purse, which goes to their opponent (via Twitter):

UFC officials recently adopted the early weigh-ins to allow fighters more time to rehydrate before the event.
