Smotherman collapses at weigh-in
At the UFC 324 weigh-ins on Friday, bantamweight Cameron Smotherman reportedly collapsed shortly after stepping off the scale and appeared to convulse.
He had made weight for a scheduled fight with Ricky Turcios but was carried from the stage and taken to a nearby hospital, and the bout was subsequently canceled.
According to his camp, Smotherman later shared a video saying he is okay; sources indicate CT and X-ray scans were clear and he received stitches for a chin laceration.
The exact cause of the incident is being investigated, and the fighter has disputed that an extreme weight cut was responsible.
A clip of a commentator speaking behind the stage as the incident occurred has since circulated online.
