⚡🥊 NEW - UFC fighter Cameron Smotherman collapses after making weight ahead of UFC 324.
Smotherman weighed in at 135.5 pounds. He was set to fight Ricky Turcios on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Smotherman was tended to by medical staff after the collapse, but needed to be carried off.
The fight has since been canceled, according to ESPN.
Is it time to finally admit that the whole idea of cutting weight is retarded and dangerous? People need to fight at their natural weights. You can't have people killing themselves to make weight like this.
