What counts. A miss is the official weigh-in reading coming in over the contracted limit, as the promotion published it on the morning of the card — not a rumour, not a re-weigh, and not the two-hour window some commissions allow, which is over before the figure is posted. The count includes the bouts that were CANCELLED because of the miss: the fighter still stood on the scale and the reading is still the reading. The margins have their own page, ranked on how far over the limit each reading was rather than on how often. Weigh-in results cover the 31 UFC cards held in 2026 so far — 24 January 2026 to 12 September 2026. Earlier years are not on file yet, so a fighter with no row here is not a fighter who never missed weight. 6 weigh-in rows in the source are spelt in a way our fighter register has never seen, and they are listed by name in the build rather than attached to a near-match. The record is a 21-way tie. 21 fighters share 1 miss, so all of them are named in the sentence above rather than one of them being picked. Ties. 21 of the rows below share the same 1 miss. Fighters on the same number of misses are listed by the date of the first one — there is no ordering inside a tie that would mean anything, and the earliest is at least a fact. Check us. Every reading here is the promotion’s own published weigh-in result for that card, joined to the fight on our tape by date and name. Each fighter’s page carries the same rows with the source link on each one, so a figure can be checked against the page it was published on. Nothing here is a re-weigh, an estimate or a report.
