UFC Vegas 105's official weigh-ins did not go off without a hitch.
Brazilian bantamweight hopeful Daniel Santos failed to even make an appearance at Friday's weigh-ins in Las Vegas. As a result, his bout with Davey Grant has been canceled due to "medical issues," according to the UFC. Grant made weight at 135.5 pounds.

The canceled fight is Santos' sixth in his UFC career since joining the promotion in 2021. All but the first have been due to issues on Santos' side. He is 2-1 in his three Octagon appearances, most recently earning a unanimous decision win over Johnny Munoz in October 2023.
One of the card's other bantamweight prospects, Cortavious Romious, also had a scale mishap as he badly missed the bantamweight non-title limit by 3.5 pounds and will forfeit 20% of his purse for his main-card bout Chang Ho Lee. Romious had never missed weight before Friday. He's fought most of his career at featherweight but has competed high as lightweight.
A featherweight contender clash between Josh Emmett and Lerone Murphy headlines UFC Vegas 105. Both main-event fighters hit their target marks, with Emmet tipping the scales at 146 pounds and Murphy coming in a half-pound lighter at 145.5 pounds.

'What a journey': Arsenal fans sent emotional message as summer exit confirmed
Moving on: Kieran Tierney is leaving Arsenal after six years this summer, rejoining former club Celtic (Getty Images) Kieran Tierney has bid an emotional farewell to Arsenal after rejoining Celtic. The Scottish left-back is departing north London this summer after six years following the expiration of his contract, one of 20 players released by the Gunners across their men's, women's and youth teams. Advertisement Tierney had long since been linked with a return to Celtic, where he previously spent 14 years, graduated from the academy and made 170 senior appearances before leaving for Arsenal in a £25million deal in 2019, winning eight domestic trophies in total. That homecoming has now been officially announced, with the defender penning a five-year contract to head back to Glasgow and rejoin a dominant Brendan Rodgers side who almost won another domestic treble this season, only to be dramatically pipped to Scottish Cup glory by Aberdeen in extra time. Tierney has now written a heartfelt goodbye to Arsenal after that move was confirmed, writing on social media: 'Full of emotions these last few weeks! To be part of this special club for 6 years has meant so much to me and I'm grateful for every single second of it. 'To every member of staff and team mate I've had the pleasure of working with, thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm so lucky to have worked with many amazing people who I learned so much from and helped me every day. Advertisement 'To the fans, what a journey these last 6 years have been. All I can really say is thank you for the support and love you've given me through the good and the bad times. 'I appreciated everything and never took any of it for granted. It's been fun. North London forever.' Tierney was initially a mainstay at left-back after joining Arsenal, forming a key part of the side that lifted the FA Cup under Mikel Arteta in 2019/20, their last major trophy, as well as winning two Community Shields as he made 144 total appearances across all competitions. However, he also struggled with injury and ended up slipping down the defensive pecking order under Arteta, who replaced him with Oleksandr Zinchenko as his new first-choice left-back in the summer of 2022. Tierney, who earned his 50th international cap for Scotland last week, spent time out on loan in Spain with Real Sociedad last season, returning to Arsenal and being limited to just 20 outings this term, only four of which were starts.
