Overview

• At UFC 320, Macy Chiasson weighed 137.5 pounds, 1.5 over the non-title bantamweight limit, and forfeited 25% of her purse.
• Santos said the UFC previously made it clear she would not be paid and could be cut if she declined to face an overweight opponent.
• She added that officials did not alert her to Chiasson’s miss and that no apology came from Chiasson or either camp after the bout.
• The bantamweight has faced four weight-missing opponents in her last seven UFC fights, including Chelsea Chandler at 141 pounds plus prior misses by Irene Aldana and Ketlen Vieira.
• After outpointing Chiasson to enter the division’s top five, Santos renewed her push for harsher penalties, citing cases like Leslie Smith’s 2018 removal after refusing an overweight foe.
