Dana White must be thanking DC and the Black Beast for taking the Main Event fight for UFC 230 as two fighters who were supposed to be on the Main Card miss weight. Sijara Eubanks, who was supposed to fight the headliner for the Championship was 2.2 pounds over the championship weight. Brian Kelleher came in at 137. Both of these fighters will give up 20% of their purse. This is especially rough for Sijara as she was extremely vocal about being pulled from the championship fight (one which no one wanted to see but Sijara).
