[autotag]Bobby Green[/autotag] made weight for his UFC 258 fight with Jim Miller – but it appears to have been a struggle.
Green was the last fighter to weigh in Friday morning at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and hit the lightweight limit at 156 pounds. He walked to the scale and stepped on without assistance.
When it came time for the pre-fight faceoffs about 25 minutes later, Green and Miller did not participate. UFC president Dana White explained why during his scrum with reporters.
“Bobby Green just collapsed back there,” White said. “Doctors are looking at him. They’re trying to rehydrate him right now.”

White added he was unsure if Green’s collapse was related to his weight cut. It’s unclear if the fight will go on as planned.
Green (27-11-1 MMA, 8-6-1 UFC) is looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to Thiago Moises last October, which snapped a three-fight winning streak.
This story will be updated when a decision on Green is made.
