Magomedov, a 33-year-old Russian fighter carrying a 21-5 record, came in at 62.1 kg — 0.6 kg over the limit for his scheduled contest. Standing five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach, Magomedov is a precise striker who connects at 63.4 percent accuracy, one of the higher marks among active fighters in his weight class.

His opponent, Brazilian veteran Leandro Higo, tipped the scales at the required 61.5 kg. The 36-year-old, nicknamed "Alter," holds a 23-7 record and brings nearly two decades of professional experience to the cage. Higo is a measured, accurate striker himself, landing at just under 60 percent accuracy, though his output sits at 0.4 significant strikes per minute.

Why it matters

  • Magomedov's weight miss puts his bout with Higo in jeopardy and could result in a financial penalty or cancellation
  • Higo, already at the correct weight, faces disruption through no fault of his own
  • The catchweight adjustment between Chizhov and Rabadanov signals an additional pre-fight complication on an already busy card
