UFC London Fight Scrapped After Luana Carolina Misses Bantamweight Limit by 8 Pounds

The commission canceled the matchup for safety and rules compliance, leaving Melissa Mullins seeking a quick rebooking.

Overview

  • Melissa Mullins made 136 lb and said on Instagram the commission pulled the bout despite both fighters agreeing to proceed.
  • Luana Carolina weighed 144 lb at the official weigh-in, and officials halted any further cut, trimming the event to 13 fights.
  • This represents Carolina’s third UFC weight miss, following overages in 2021 and 2024 and a separate 2025 cancellation linked to weight issues.
  • Ravena Oliveira missed strawweight by 0.5 lb but her bout stayed on after a purse forfeiture, according to MMA Junkie.
  • Media and fans condemned the scene—Ariel Helwani called it “awful”—with some urging UFC discipline, while no roster decision or rebooking has been announced.
