No fight for the “Jaguar”. The Frenchman William Gomis was due to face the Brazilian Jean Silva during the night from Saturday to Sunday, during UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro (on RMC Sport 2). The fight, scheduled for -66kg (featherweight), the category of champion Ilia Topuria, was ultimately canceled for health reasons.
A very worrying weighing
The decision came this Friday afternoon after the very worrying images of William Gomis’ weigh-in. In great pain when he stepped on the scale, even staggering at times, he appeared extremely weakened.
According to specialist journalist Guilherme Cruz, William Gomis vomited a few moments before the weigh-in. By showing 64.9kg on the scale, more than a kilo below the limit, he had to go far in pain.
With three victories in three fights since his arrival in the UFC, the 26-year-old Frenchman hoped to get closer to the top 15.
