The UFC dodged a huge bullet this afternoon as Johny Hendricks made the 170 pound limit for the Welterweight title fight tomorrow night at UFC 171. During the initial weigh-ins, Hendricks missed weight by a pound and a half. He had two hours two cut the additional weight, and did successfully. His opponent, Robbie Lawler, made weight at the initial weigh-ins.

If Johny had missed weight for the fight it would have been a total disaster for Hendricks and the UFC. Dana White tweeted the news shortly after Hendricks made weight:

Kelvin Gastelum also made weight on his third try. Renee Forte could not make weight on his second try. He will be fined 20% of his purse.
