Every UFC event in history with three or more weigh-in misses

Making weight is an essential aspect of being a mixed martial artist. Throughout the history of the sport, numerous fighters have encountered mishaps on weigh-in day, resulting in them stepping on the scale above their contracted weights. These blunders can occur due to various reasons such as excessive weight cutting, mismanagement of weight loss goals, or even medical issues.

While most events witness all competitors successfully making weight, it is not uncommon for one or two fighters to come in heavy. However, there have been rare instances where three or more fighters tip the scale too heavy, creating dramatic moments just a day before the fights. The highest number of fighters missing weight in a single event is four, and this has occurred on four separate occasions.
