Outside of the headliners, the majority of the remaining athletes came in on point – save for two. Ricardo Ramos and Jared Gooden both came in significantly heavy for their respective fights. Ramos missed weight by eight pounds, causing his fight with Gordon to be canceled. Gordon’s matchup with Carlston Harris continues despite a seven-pound miss.
