This weekend, the UFC Vegas 109 event is gearing up to take place at the Apex, where Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez will go toe-to-toe in a middleweight showdown that promises to be a real barnburner. Fans are chomping at the bit to see the action unfold, and even before the main event, the weigh-ins served up a hearty helping of excitement. Amidst the buzz of some weight misses that turned heads, Angela Hill truly took the cake with a bold prank that had everyone talking.
For the unversed, UFC Vegas 108 had its share of chaos when headliner Amir Albazi couldn’t make it due to visa issues. Rafael Estevam and Tresean Gore also missed weight at that event. This time, Anthony Hernandez came in 0.5 pounds over the middleweight limit against Roman Dolidze, who successfully weighed in at 185.5 pounds. Joselyne Edwards and Julija Stoliarenko also missed weight by 0.25 pounds each. But none of that outshone Hill’s hilarious stunt.
‘Overkill’ is set to face Iasmin Lucindo at the Apex and had no trouble making the strawweight limit of 116 pounds. But just before stepping on the scale, she pulled out two fake breast implants and handed them to one of the officials, leaving everyone stunned and probably on the floor as well. Hill also couldn’t stop giggling the entire time, making the moment even more hilarious.
