Stephens, Choi on point at hectic UFC St. Louis weigh-ins
Perry Nelson / USA TODAY Sports
UFC Fight Night 124's weigh-ins didn't go down without a few hiccups.
Featherweights Jeremy Stephens and Doo Ho Choi may have hit the divisional mark without incident for Sunday's headliner in St. Louis at Saturday's weigh-ins, but the middleweight co-main event is no more after Uriah Hall pulled out of what would have marked Vitor Belfort's final fight for medical reasons.
Hall failed to tip the scales within the allotted two-hour time limit, while Mads Burnell weighed in four pounds over the featherweight limit for his date with Mike Santiago. The bout will now proceed at a 150-pound catchweight, with the Dane forfeiting 20 percent of his purse for the transgression.
