Pat Healy will still headline tonight’s Titan FC 35 event, but he won’t do so as the organization’s reigning lightweight titleholder.
Healy (32-20), a former UFC and Strikeforce fighter who’s slated to fight Bellator vet Rick Hawn (20-4) in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed main event, missed weight at Friday’s weigh-ins and has been stripped of the belt.
Healy weighed 158 pounds, three pounds over the 155-pound limit. Hawn successfully weighed 155 pounds, and if victorious tonight at Clark County Fairgrounds Event Center in Ridgefield, Wash., he’ll win the vacant title. Healy, though, isn’t eligible to win the belt.
E.J. Brooks (8-4), who weighed 161 pounds, also missed weight for his lightweight bout with Jason Novelli (8-1) and has been fined an undisclosed amount.
The full Titan FC 35 weigh-in results included:
+ – Stripped of title after missing weight
* – No penalty disclosed
# – Fine undisclosed amount for missing weight
