UFC 325 Fight Canceled After Aaron Tau Weight Miss

At the UFC 325 weigh-ins in Sydney, Australia, Aaron Tau's attempt to make weight turned controversial. Initially, Tau weighed in at 122.5 pounds, seemingly under the 125-pound flyweight limit. However, suspicion arose, and a second weigh-in revealed a weight of 129 pounds, well over the limit. This led to speculation that Tau was attempting a trick similar to Daniel Cormier's infamous 'towel trick,' where Cormier appeared to use a towel to reduce the weight on the scale. The fight between Tau and Namsrai Batbayar was subsequently canceled. Daniel Cormier's weigh-in incident occurred at UFC 210, where he initially missed weight but then made weight on a second attempt using a towel, leading to controversy and later admission of using a wrestling trick. This incident highlights the pressures and scrutiny surrounding weigh-ins in professional fighting.
