UFC star stepped in last minute to compete against Maxim Grishin in light heavyweight but his weight-in was not in line with the 206-pound divisional limit - and by some margin.After coming in at 218 pounds, it means that now 40% of his purse will be deducted, according to MMA Junkie.Ed Herman, the intial fighter, had withdrawn from the contest against Grishin, meaning the 33-year-old had to step in last minute.But even still, Knight has set a record for the biggest miss in UFC history.Their upcoming bout at UFC 271 will now be a heavyweight fight instead.Comments to the news did not hold back, with one calling it the “biggest miss.”One said: “I always like to reserve judgment when a fighter misses weight, but 12 pounds?
Also, this has to be one of the biggest misses in UFC history, right?”Another joked: “Do we consider this not even trying?”A third commented: “I love how he's looking at that scale like something is broken lol.”One quipped: “Besides missing the HW limit you can’t get much worse then this.”Do you think this was disrespectful by Knight?
