UFC fighter Cameron Smotherman collapsed on stage after weighing in at Las Vegas on Friday morning. Smotherman, 28, weighed in at 135.5 pounds for his fight against Ricky Turcios but fell face-first onto the stage at T-Mobile Arena shortly after walking off the scale. He was limp as he was carried off stage by his coach and UFC staff. Cameras cut to commentators Laura Sanko and Daniel Cormier, who expressed their shock at the proceedings. There has been no update on Smotherman’s health. Some social media users suspected Smotherman had engaged in weight cutting, meaning he’d purposefully dehydrated himself to come in under the 136-pound limit UFC sets for bantamweight fighters in non-title bouts. Smotherman and Turcios were set to fight in a bantamweight battle at UFC 324 as part of UFC’s first-ever Paramount+ event. That match has now been cancelled. Smotherman, nicknamed “The Baby-Faced Killer,” has accrued a 12-6-0 record in his UFC career.
Oh my goodness...
