The First Ever Takedown Attempt At An MMA Weigh-In Just Happened And It Did Not Go Well

Between the excruciating effects of dehydration and the intensity of being forced to stand inches away from a person planning to render you unconscious in less than a day’s time, event weigh-ins have always been a bit of a powder keg in the combat sports world. They’ve erupted into verbal back-and-forths (typically involving Michael Bisping), all-out brawls, and even a piss-spraying incident in the past, but if there’s one thing that weigh-ins have been lacking up to this point, it’s the display of a finely-executed takedown.
