With her next fight officially booked, Sijara Eubanks is working hard to ensure the weight-cutting disaster that struck her career in December doesn’t happen again. Eubanks (2-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) committed one of the biggest gaffes in recent UFC memory when, on weigh-in day, she was forced to withdraw from the inaugural UFC women’s flyweight title fight against Nicco Montano due to being hospitalized from a weight cut gone wrong. Montano went on to claim the gold against last-minute replacement Roxanne Modafferi, and Eubanks was the target of heavy criticism for the mistake. In the months since that forgettable day prior to The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale, Eubanks has kept a relatively low profile while sorting out her next steps. She was recently announced for a 125-pound matchup against Lauren Murphy (10-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) at June’s UFC Fight Night event in Utica, N.Y., meaning her incident didn’t serve as a deterrent from fighting in the weight class.
