Breaking News: Din Thomas Scratched From Ultimate Chaos PPV

posted by J. Andrew Yount

Din Thomas has confirmed to MMA Spot.net that he will not be fighting tonight at Ultimate Chaos in Biloxi, MS. It appears that his half pound that he weighed in over turned into a disorganized mess before the resurgent star finally had his fight with Javier ‘Showtime’ Vazquez called off. Reports from sources close to Thomas said that the fight had originally been allowed to continue, leading to Thomas attempting to rehydrate from the weight cut, weighing in at 146.6 lbs for his 145 lbs fight. But only after he started his rehydration did fight officials approach Thomas about taking additional time to cut to the contracted weight limit. He attempted to cut the additional weight, but the extra effort, once rehydrated left Thomas extremely weakened and in need of medical attention. 

Thomas confirmed to MMA Spot at the venue that the fight was indeed canceled. The American Top Team fighter was extremely disappointed about the incident.
