This setback adds to Vergara's previous weight misses, casting doubt on his ability to meet the weight requirements in future fights.

Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint Denis Limited to 156 Pounds

In the co-main event of UFC 299, Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint Denis are both limited to 156 pounds for their non-title lightweight fight. This weight restriction is slightly higher than the standard lightweight limit of 155 pounds, allowing both fighters some extra room to hydrate and recover before the bout.
