I don’t need Dylan Budka to lose a payday but when Nevada State Athletic Fee (NSAC) lets “The Senseless Hulk” compete after practically collapsing on the UFC Vegas 97 weigh ins, then I feel we are able to all agree there’s no motive for commissions to exist.
Particularly once they blame this kind of factor on pre-fight jitters.

Petroski was below the allowable restrict at 185.5.
Budka practically toppled over whereas standing on the size, a transparent signal of an excessive weight reduce. Handlers had been pressured to assist the previous “Contender Collection” standout exit the stage the place he’ll undoubtedly be examined by the UFC medical workforce.
Anticipate an replace on the standing of his Petroski combat sooner or later later in the present day.
