With just six days notice, Ultimate changed the location of UFC 232 from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Therefore, all 26 fighters and teams had to be transported to California and this caused changes to the weight cutting routine. To avoid problems at the weigh-in, the California Athletic Commission (CSAC) increased the time by one hour and now athletes have three hours to make the weight for their categories.

According to the executive director of the California Athletic Commission, Andy Foster, the UFC 232 weigh-in will take place on Friday (28) from 9am to 12pm local time. In Brazil, the event will take place from 15pm to 18pm due to the difference and daylight saving time. The information was given first-hand by the North American website MMA Fighting.

Understand the case

Jones was caught in a drug test in early December with traces of Turinabol in his body. 'Bones' was cleared by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, but was not cleared by the Nevada Athletic Commission to fight in Las Vegas. With that, Ultimate moved the event in the state to California in Inglewood.
