UFC 205 official weigh-in results
The good news: all three title fights scheduled for Saturday's UFC 205 will go as planned. The bad news: one of the card's more intriguing bouts has been nixed.
Kelvin Gastelum will not be fighting Donald Cerrone after failing to make the welterweight limit in time for Friday's official weigh-ins. The "TUF" winner has missed weight twice before, and didn't bother tipping the scales this time around. Cerrone made weight and has since reportedly agreed to face Matt Brown at UFC 206 on Dec. 10.

To the surprise of no one, Thiago Alves also missed weight ahead of what would have been his first go at lightweight. "Pitbull" had been plagued by weight management issues as a welterweight, and cited a case of food poisoning as the reason he came in 6.6 pounds over the limit, per MMAFighting's Marc Raimondi.
Miller, who made the lightweight limit, quickly rehydrated to bring his weight within five pounds of Alves' and salvage their meeting. The fight will now be contested as a 163-pound catchweight, and the Brazilian cannot weigh more than 173 pounds come fight night.
Middleweight contender Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza made weight as a potential alternate to Chris Weidman vs. Yoel Romero, but is unlikely to see any action.
Ceremonial weigh-ins are scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.
