Charles Oliveira to be stripped of lightweight belt after failing to make weight for UFC 274
PHOENIX -- Charles Oliveira will be stripped of the UFC lightweight championship after missing weight Friday at the UFC 274 weigh-ins.
Oliveira came at 155.5 pounds, a half-pound over the limit for a lightweight title fight.
As a result, the title is now considered vacant -- and Saturday night, only his opponent, Justin Gaethje,..
is eligible to win the belt. This would have been Oliveira's second title defense.
Oliveira first came to the scales with five minutes remaining in the initial weigh-in period.
He looked surprised as the commissioner shouted out the missed weight.
