When Daniel Cormier infamously used his pre-fight weigh-ins towel to aid in his weigh in attempt, he forever changed the regulations in New York.
Taking a page from the champ’s book, Kelvin Gastelum attempted the near exact same feat today for his UFC Fight Night 122 main event in Shanghai.
Though, a little bit smarter in his approach, Gastelum didn’t grab the top of the towel, instead he grabbed the towel in the middle, as can be seen in the video above. Despite all of this, he still managed to miss weight.
The UFC Shanghai headliner eventually hit the mark, without the use of D.C.’s towel trick, and tomorrow’s main event against Michael Bisping is now official.
