An open-weight fight at Rizin FF 8 is in jeopardy after
Gabi Garcia
came in 28 pounds over the 209-pound limit.
Garcia (4-0) weighed in at 237 pounds today for her scheduled fight against 53-year-old retired professional wrestler
Shinobu Kandori
(4-1), who was 162.25. According to reports on social media, Kandori screamed at Garcia on the stage, then stormed off.
Rizin FF 8 takes place Friday at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, near Tokyo. The event airs via online pay-per-view.
Commentator Joe Ferraro said on
Twitter
that Rizin FF head Nobuyuki Sakakibara came on stage and said “Competition-wise, we cannot make this happen.” But so far, the bout has not officially been scrapped.

Update: Gabi Garcia was 12 kgs over. Opponent Shinobu Kandori freaked out and started yelling “this is a disgrace”. Sakikibara came on stage and said “competitionwise, we cannot make this happen.” Stay tuned.

If it goes ahead, though, Garcia would have a weight advantage of nearly 75 pounds against a 53-year-old opponent who hasn’t competed in MMA in more than 17 years.
The two were booked to fight a year ago for Rizin, but Kandori pulled out with an injury.

The fact that it was booked in the first place makes anything possible...

Good point, it is the NYE card and it's entirely possible this is all a big troll-job on their respective parts.
Well done if that's the case. Garcia and Rizin are getting front page news on mainstream media sites this morning.

She needs to compete against men or just don’t compete.

I just don't understand how someone misses weight, in an OPENWEIGHT MATCH?!

Because it wasn't a true open weight. It says it in the article the weight limit was 209. So the fact that it was a weight limit makes it a not an open weight at all.

I believe it's sexual harassment to question any woman's weight these days.
I stand in solidarity with Gabi.
