    DFW suggested that Gastelum was 10-pounds off when he stopped trying to make weight.

    What makes the commission upset is that he didn't weigh-in at all.

    Presumably Cerrone would've accepted the fight with Gastelum's purse being trimmed or they could've told Cerrone ahead of time and both could've agreed to a catch-weight with the AC's permission.

    Thiago Alves was also suspended, 3-months, kind of token, but it's against the NYAC rules to miss weight.

    Yoel Romero has also been suspended. 60-days for leaving the cage after his fight.

    This could've junked plans to have him fight Bisping at 206 had that been in the works.
