Luana Misses Weight, Cancels Mullins Fight at UFC London
At the official weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night 270, Luana Carolina scaled at 144 pounds. The bout with Melissa Mullins was scheduled to open the card at The O2 in London.
Mullins weighed 136 pounds and was visibly upset on the scale. The UFC canceled the fight after officials confirmed an eight-pound difference.
Weigh-in fallout
The eight-pound gap ranks among the larger misses in recent memory. UFC officials pulled the bout following the commission weigh-ins. The cancellation removed an opening fight fans expected.
Carolina’s weight history
Carolina is 11-5 overall and 6-4 under the UFC banner. She originally reached the promotion through Dana White’s Contender Series as a flyweight.
She first missed weight in 2021 before a split decision victory over Poliana Botelho. Carolina again missed at flyweight in 2024, then finished Julija Stoliarenko late in that fight.
In 2025 her fight with Montana De La Rosa was canceled due to a failed weight cut. After that incident, she moved from 125 pounds to bantamweight. Her three-fight winning streak ended with a loss to Michelle Montague.
Mullins and local impact
Melissa Mullins entered the fight at 7-2 overall and 2-2 in the UFC. She had a decision loss to Darya Zheleznyakova in June.
Mullins had missed the bantamweight limit twice in three recent fights. Her opportunity to open the card for her home crowd in England evaporated.
