ARTICLE 1 – WEIGH-IN

Official weigh-ins will be conducted 24 hours prior to the contest at a time and site designated by the BFC™ organizing committee. The weigh-in will be conducted under the supervision of the Rules Director. Each fighter must be present for his weigh-in. If the fighter misses his weigh-in, he will be disqualified from the competition. In the case that the fighter is the champion, he will be stripped of his title.

If the fighter fails the weigh-in, he will be re-weighed within 4 hours. He can be re-weighed as many times as required. However, the weigh-in deadline will be at 10:00 AM on the morning of the fight. If the fighter has not passed his weigh-in examination by that time, he will be disqualified from the match. In the case that the fighter is the champion, he will be stripped of his title.

In the event that an opponent is disqualified because he did not make weight, an alternate opponent will take his place to compete in the tournament.
