Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Featherweight Charles Rosa said the promotion compensated him in spite of his canceled fight against Mizuto Hirota at UFC Fight Night 117. “Luckily, they made it right and took care of me,” Rosa told MMAjunkie after his scratch in Saitama, Japan, which hosted the FXX-televised event Friday at the hallowed Saitama Super Arena. “I’m really happy with the UFC and the way they handled it.” Although Rosa did not specify how he was compensated, the promotion often pays out “show money” – usually the contracted purse, albeit without any potential “win money” – to fighters whose opponents are scratched at the last minute due to medical issues. “Obviously, it was out of their hands,” Rosa said. “It wasn’t their fault – it was my opponent’s fault.” Hirota (18-8-2 MMA, 1-3-1 UFC) came in four pounds over the allowed limit and teetered on the scale at the event’s official weigh-ins

Trading Shots: Was Mizuto Hirota’s struggle at weigh-ins a public version of a typically private issue?

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC A weight cut gone bad led to a fight getting pulled last minute from UFC Fight Night 117 in Japan, but was the struggle more of an exception or the rule for pro fighters in MMA? MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes and retired UFC and WEC fighter Danny Downes discuss. Fowlkes: UFC Fight Night 117 went off with one fewer fight than planned this weekend, Danny, and it was all thanks to Mizuto Hirota ’s failed weigh-in attempt. Not only did he come in four pounds over the featherweight limit for his fight with Charles Rosa, he could barely stand up long enough to get weighed on the scale. That’s not an exaggeration, either

Charles Rosa ‘heartbroken’ after Mizuto Hirota pulled from UFC-Japan for safety reasons

BAD MMA News — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 22:12:57 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC Charles Rosa is taking the high road in response to opponent Mizuto Hirota being pulled from UFC Fight Night 117 at the last minute due to a botched weight cut. After Hirota (18-8-2 MMA, 1-3-1 UFC) came in four pounds over the featherweight limit for his matchup with Rosa (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC), which was set to open tonight’s UFC Fight Night 117 main card on FXX at Saitama Super Arena in Japan, there was much concern over whether it was safe for the fight to go on. Despite UFC officials originally stating Hirota was fit to compete, it was later decided that due to “health and safety concerns,” the Japanese fighter would not step in the octagon in his home country. Although athlete safety should always come first, it’s a disappointing turn of events for Rosa, who put in a full training camp, flew all the way from Florida and made weight in a professional manner. He’s naturally upset over the situation, but Rosa chose not to kick Hirota while he was down (via Instagram ): Unfortunately, my @UFC fight versus Mizuto Hirota was cancelled early this morning for his safety by medical doctors. After Mizuto came to weigh-ins 5lbs overweight, I accepted to fight him regardless, woke up the following morning to find out he was pulled.

Mizuto Hirota missed weight for UFC-Japan – and it was pretty scary

BAD MMA News — Thu, 21 Sep 2017 16:16:35 +0000

Filed under: Blue Corner , Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos TOKYO – Mizuto Hirota was the last fighter to weigh in today for UFC Fight Night 117, and once he finally made it to the scale, it wasn’t pretty. Every other fighter weighed in during the first 40 minutes of the two-hour weigh-in window, but Hirota didn’t arrive and hit the scale until the final minutes. Once there, Hirota (18-8-2 MMA, 1-3-1 UFC), who meets fellow featherweight Charles Rosa (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in Friday’s UFC Fight Night 117 main-card opener, looked dazed. In fact, after a slow walk to weigh in, he stumbled a bit off the scale and needed help from the officials
