Ivan OrekhovCorrespondent SportAll materialsUnexpected and very unpleasant scandal for the Dana White organization. As a result of the event, the main fight of the evening underwent changes: yes, the fight in the lightweight division between the Brazilian Charles Oliveira and the American Justin Gaethje remained in force, but lost the status of the champion fight. Oliveira, who owned the belt, failed to meet the weight category limit from two attempts. In the second run on the scales, the same 155.5 pounds (70.53 kg) were recorded with the prescribed 155.
"The champion has a name, his name is Charles Oliveira. God is God, he never left me and now he won't leave. I am the chosen one", the Brazilian will later write in social networks.
