Kevin Borjas<\/a> (129 lbs,) set to take on Andre Lima<\/a> (126 lbs,) missed the flyweight nontitle maximum by 3 lbs this morning at the weigh-ins.<\/p>\n As such, the former cedes 20 percent of his wages to the latter. This was the lone weight miss on a quick morning at the scales.<\/p>\n Speed Order of the Day at UFC Vegas 119 Weigh-Ins<\/p>\n Today’s official weigh-in window set a new record for the fastest such window in UFC promotional history.
