Souza and Ribeiro miss weight for UFC Vegas 122 bouts

Two more fighters failed to make weight at the UFC Vegas 122 weigh-ins, with Ketlen Souza and Brendson Ribeiro both coming in over the limit for their scheduled bouts.

Souza stepped on the scale at 117 pounds ahead of her fight with Loopy Godinez. Ribeiro weighed 208.5 pounds for his matchup with Felipe Franco.

Souza, a 32-year-old Brazilian fighting out of Carioca Academy, carries a 16-6-0 record. Known as "Esquentadinha," she is an orthodox striker who lands 4.01 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy. She stands five-foot-three with a 63-inch reach.

Her opponent, Godinez, is ranked eighth in the women's strawweight division and holds a 14-6-0 record at age 33. She is the busier grappler of the two, averaging 2.96 takedowns per 15 minutes and 0.9 submission attempts, while landing 4.51 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy. Godinez stands five-foot-two with a 61-inch reach.

Ribeiro, nicknamed "The Gorilla," is a 30-year-old Brazilian from Brazilian TKO with a 17-11-0 record. The six-foot-three orthodox fighter owns an 81-inch reach and lands 3.04 significant strikes per minute at 42 percent accuracy. He averages 0.85 takedowns and 0.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes.

Why it matters

• Souza's 117 pounds puts her over the women's strawweight limit of 115 in her bout against a ranked opponent, Godinez, who sits eighth in the division.
• Ribeiro's 208.5 pounds is over the 205-pound light heavyweight limit, adding a weight issue to his bout with Franco.
• Both are repeat headaches for the card: these are the latest weight misses at UFC Vegas 122, coming on top of earlier ones.
• Missed weight typically leads to penalties and can complicate how a fight is approached, making the cage-side stakes less straightforward than the records suggest.
