Gabi Garcia will not be competing at today’s Rizin FF 8 event at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

Garcia (4-0) was supposed to fight Shinobu Kandori (4-1) at the event, which streams as an online pay-per-view, but she came in a whopping 28 pounds over the contracted weight. Promoters were furious with the gaffe, and the bout is no longer taking place.

If the fight had happened, Garcia would’ve had a weight advantage of nearly 75 pounds against a 53-year-old opponent who hasn’t competed in MMA in more than 17 years.

Garcia and Kandori were noticeably absent from the traditional opening ceremonies, and MMA reporter Bruno Massami provided details from on-site (via Twitter):
