Cameron Smotherman successfully made weight for his bantamweight showdown against Ricky Turcios during the UFC 324 weigh ins on Friday morning, then stepped off the scale, took a few wobbly steps, and faceplanted on the stage. Smotherman stayed down for several minutes as officials rushed to assist.
Smotherman was eventually carried off stage and transported to the hospital.
Hopefully we’ll be able to share a positive update as soon as possible.
The 28 year-old Smotherman (12-6) is coming off back-to-back losses to Serhiy Sidey and Ricky Simon and stands at 1-2 in the promotion. UFC fans may remember the bantamweight “Baby-Faced Killer” for his brief stint on Dana White’s “Contender Series” back in summer 2023, where Smotherman came up short against Charalampos Grigoriou.
