It's official. Damn what a bummer

"A lightweight bout between Gilbert Burns and Olivier Aubin-Mercier has been scratched from the fight card of UFC on FOX 28.

The UFC announced the news Wednesday following an initial report by FloCombat. In a statement released by the organization, the UFC explained that upon Burns’ arrival to fight week, the promotion’s medical team “determined that it would be unsafe for Burns to cut additional weight necessary to meet the 156-pound limit,” and thus pulled the Brazilian off the Feb. 24 card.

According to sources, Burns arrived in Orlando weighing 186 pounds. The UFC is currently hoping to reschedule him on the April 14 UFC on FOX 29 card. Aubin-Mercier is expected to fight sooner."

Burns was going to cut 30 pounds on fight week? Get real, that would kill some people, cutting 18-20% of their body weight in a couple days. Dude needs to move up to ww or do something different, that's not healthy.
