Julia Avila and Julija Stoliarenko faced off in a fast paced, but not otherwise remarkable bout on the UFC Vegas 30 undercard. However, the fight did have a bit of backstory to it. Most notably that it was initially booked for UFC Vegas 22, but the promotion scratched the contest from the March fight card after Stoliarenko passed out twice attempting to hit the 135-pound bantamweight limit.
At the official weigh-in, Stoliarenko walked into the room, sat, took off her fight kit shoes and pants. She then stood and hurried to the center of the elevated stage, gave a thumbs up, and stepped on the scale. As Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Bob Bennett attempted to dial in Stoliarenko’s weight, she staggered backward off the scale and fell into the step and repeat UFC backdrop.
