Or how about the time Sergio da Silva used every sleight-of-foot trick he knew to try to fool the scale – and the New York State Athletic Commission – at the weigh-ins for Bellator NYC in June?

Sergio da Silva (6-8 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), scheduled to meet Matt Rizzo (9-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a 130-pound catchweight fight on Saturday, did his best to trick the scale today. But still, he came in more than seven pounds over the planned limit for the Bellator 180 bout, which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The commission members weren’t having any of da Silva’s antics. From beginning to end, it took nearly two minutes for da Silva to get his official weight. He started by attempting to have his corner hold his towel, then proceeded to take his foot off the scale multiple times before eventually being ordered to stand still.

Today, the fighters stepped on the scale in Manhattan to make weight for their bouts, and those at the top end of the bill all hit their marks without issue. That includes a trio of title fights, as well as two highly anticipated fights in the main and co-main events. But perhaps most interesting was preliminary card bantamweight Sergio da Silva , who was scheduled for a 130-pound catchweight fight against Matt Rizzo. Da Silva wasn’t close to the 130-pound mark – but appeared to try several different times to see if he could balance differently, or keep his heels off the scale, or even stand on it with one foot, all in the hopes of hitting the mark
