UFC Fight Night 125 will no longer feature a bout between bantamweight contenders John Dodson and Pedro Munhoz.

On Friday morning, Munhoz came in at 140 pounds for Saturday’s fight, and later today, the UFC posted the statement below:

After Pedro Munhoz missed weight by four pounds for his UFC Belem bout against John Dodson, UFC officials have pulled the fight from Saturday night’s event.

Munhoz weighed in at 140 pounds on Friday morning for the bantamweight bout.

Moving into the co-main event slot is the flyweight bout between Valentina Shevchenko and Priscila Cachoeira.

UFC Belem, which airs live on FS1, will proceed with 11 bouts.

Saturday’s event will be headlined by a bout between middleweights Lyoto Machida and Eryk Anders.
