MMA Fighter Ryan Benoit Goes Viral For His Inability to Stand on His Own at Weigh In

MMA Fighter Ryan Benoit has been removed from this weekend’s UFC card after a scary scene at weigh-ins. Benoit was scheduled to fight Zarrukh Adashev at UFC Fight Night this weekend, but that fight has now been canceled due to a Benoit weight management issue, he was 3LBS over weight.

At the weigh in, he was visibly out of it.

Via ESPN:

Benoit was then taken backstage at the UFC Apex to be looked at by a doctor. About five minutes later, Benoit returned and was helped onto the scale by Crowder and UFC security. Still wobbly, Benoit was able to stay still on the scale long enough for Mullen to register the weight at 129 pounds.

The extreme measures fighters will go through in order to make weight can get downright scary.

Not a good look for the UFC,  which is probably why they called the fight off.
