Weigh-ins are the last time two fighters face each other before being locked into a cage on a UFC Fight Night. For some fighters, it’s a mere formality, but for others, it’s a chance to look their opponent in the eye and feed off the energy. Oftentimes, face-offs can get extremely heated, and sometimes have broken into an all-out brawl. The Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier face-off is a prime example of this. 

Cutelaba‘s actions were extremely dangerous given what had happened the last weekend. Jeremy Stephens shoved an unsuspecting Drakkar Klose during their face-off, resulting in Klose having to pull out from the fight due to injuries sustained from the shove.

Cutelaba is 0-2 in his last two fights. He lost both of them to Magomed Ankalaev via stoppage. Hence, in a bid to turn around his fortunes, ‘The Hulk’ will aim to get back into the win column this weekend. However, that will be easier said than done as he is facing someone who is on a four-fight win streak. 

What started out as a cordial buildup to the fight between the two men has quickly taken a turn for the worse. The face-offs might play a part in how both fighters approach the fight. Therefore, the fight should be an extremely closely contested bout between two top talents at light heavyweight. 

What do you make of Ion Cutelaba’s actions? Do you think there should be serious punishments in place so that athletes do not touch each other at weigh-ins?
