Paul Redmond Prior to a rash of high-profile drug-testing failues, there was a time – one that now seems so much more simple and innocent – when missing weight was the most venal of sins. It was often dismissed as an act of gluttony or lax training, but that certainly wasn’t the case for Irish featherweight Paul Redmond  (10-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who came in at 149 pounds for his promotional debut, which he lost via unanimous decision to Mirsad Bektic (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) on Jan. 24 at UFC on FOX 14 in Stockholm. On just two weeks’ notice, the Team Ryano exponent was asked to fight the undefeated Bektic after Alan Omer was forced to withdraw from the bout due to injury.
