Claudia Gadelha wants it known she was ready to battle Saturday night.

The Brazilian strawweight standout made weight Friday for her scheduled UFC 246 main-card bout against Alexa Grasso in Las Vegas, as she came in at 115.5 pounds, a half-pound shy of the non-title limit.

Grasso, however, checked in at 121.5, a whopping 5.5 pounds over the limit. Per Nevada Athletic Commission rules, three pounds is the maximum miss in which a fight is allowed to proceed at strawweight. As a result, the bout between Gadelha and Grasso was canceled.

This undoubtedly was disappointing for Gadelha, who handled her business correct and was looking to build on her recent momentum, having won two of her past three fights.

Hours after the weigh-ins, Gadelha posted about the situation on Instagram. Looking trim and in fighting form, Gadelha did note her opponent’s big weight miss but otherwise avoided taking potshots at Grasso.

Gadelha, a former title challenger, made it clear she’s ready to get back into the cage as soon as possible.

“I worked so hard for this, and I was so excited to put (on) a show for you all tomorrow, but unfortunately my fight isn’t gonna happen because my opponent missed weight by 5.5 pounds,” Gadelha wrote. “I still wanted the fight because I am a bad bitch, but Nevada Commission didn’t (allow) the fight to happen.”
