The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) faces scrutiny for potentially allowing fighter Dylan Budka to continue in the competition despite his near-collapse incident during the UFC Vegas 97 weigh-ins. Chalking up his episode to pre-fight nerves is deemed unjustifiable.
Budka encountered issues making weight for his middleweight fight against Andre Petroski at UFC Vegas 97 when he tipped the scales at 188 pounds, surpassing the 185.5-pound limit, unlike Petroski.
His struggle during the weigh-ins was apparent as he teetered precariously on the scale, needing assistance from his team to depart the stage. News regarding the status of his bout with Petroski is anticipated to be released later today.
