Lawler vs. dos Anjos Set, but One Fight Cancelled at UFC on FOX 26 Weigh-in

Robbie Lawler and Rafael dos Anjos are set to due battle in Winnipeg after both made weight on Friday, but one main card fighter missed the mark and a preliminary fighter failed to weigh-in.

Lawler vs. dos Anjos headlines UFC on FOX 26 at Bell MTS Place on Saturday with a lot on the line. UFC president Dana White has said that the winner of the fight is expected to get a shot at welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who is currently on the sidelines, opting for minor shoulder surgery.

While most of the fighters at Friday's weigh-in had no trouble on the scale, Josh Emmett was well above the mark. Emmett is getting a big opportunity, as he steps in for Jose Aldo to face Ricardo Lamas in the night's co-main event, but he stepped on the scale at 148.5 pounds for the featherweight tilt. That's 2.5 pounds above the allowed limit for a non-title fight.

In addition to Emmett missing weight, preliminary card fighter Pietro Menga failed to weigh-in. UFC officials did not immediately give a reason for Menga not coming to the weigh-in, but noted that his fight with Tim Elliott had been cancelled. Elliott, who weighed in at 125.5 pounds early during the weigh-in process, will still be paid his show money for the bout.

A highly anticipated fight between welterweight knockout artists Santiago Ponzinibbio and Mike Perry is set, as both men easily made weight.
