UFC London weigh-in results: Repeat offender misses again by 8 pounds, bout cancelled

Luana Carolina has missed weight again and she wasn’t remotely close to the mark.

At Friday’s official morning weigh-ins for UFC London, Carolina registered at 144 pounds, which would have been fine for a featherweight bout; unfortunately for Carolina, her fight with Melissa Mullins was scheduled for 135 pounds. Even taking into account a one-pound allowance for a non-title fight, “Dread” ended up missing weight by eight pounds.

Mullins, who has previously missed weight for two previous UFC fights, successfully weighed in at 136 pounds, but it was later officially announced that her fight against Carolina has been cancelled due to regulatory reasons.

This is the third time Carolina has missed weight and the fourth time she has had issues with the scale. Her previous misses came in the 125-pound division, missing by 2.5 pounds and 3 pounds, and she also saw a March 2025 flyweight fight with Montana De La Rosa cancelled when she failed to appear at the official weigh-ins. Following that bout cancellation, a representative from De La Rosa’s team told MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck that Carolina “couldn’t even get within five pounds of 126.”

Carolina returned to bantamweight this past September at UFC Perth, where she lost a unanimous decision to Michelle Montague. With another fight being cancelled due to weight management issues, her future with the promotion looks murky.

Saturday’s headliners Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy successfully weighed in, with Evloev coming in at 146 pounds for the non-title bout, and Murphy at 145 on the dot. Evloev is currently No. 2 at featherweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, with Murphy close behind at No. 6. Both men enter the pivotal contest with undefeated records.

In the co-main event, rising featherweight contender Luke Riley takes on Michael Aswell. The fighters successfully made weight with Riley registering at 146 pounds and Aswell at 145.
