US EditionUFC 317 Fighter Cut After Failing Weigh-Ins by 10 Pounds
- UFC 317 occurred on June 28, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring a main event where Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira competed for the vacant lightweight championship.
- The title was left vacant when Islam Makhachev gave it up recently to chase the welterweight championship, paving the way for Topuria and Oliveira to compete for the vacant lightweight belt.
- Both Topuria and Oliveira made weight for the main event, while undefeated middleweight prospect Christopher Ewert missed weight by 10 pounds at the weigh-ins held on Friday, leading to his fight cancellation.
- Ewert, originally signed on short notice to replace Sedriques Dumas against Jackson McVey, was immediately released from the UFC, with McVey having successfully weighed in at 185 pounds and the promotion seeking a new opponent for him.
- The Ewert incident highlights the strict weight enforcement at UFC 317, while the main event promises a competitive bout as Topuria seeks 155-pound gold and Oliveira aims to regain the lightweight belt he held from 2021 to 2022.
