Gouveia 4 Pounds Overweight for TUF 8 Finale
By: Selina "Dead" Wong Posted On: December 12, 2008 at 11:59pmWilson Gouveia (11-5) weighed in at 189 pounds Friday for his middleweight bout against “The Athlete” Jason MacDonald (19-10) at the live finale of The Ultimate Fighter 8 Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission would not allow Gouveia to cut the remaining pounds for safety reasons. Instead the match will proceed at a catch weight of 189 pounds, with Gouveia forfeiting 20 percent of his purse to MacDonald.
Gouveia used to fight at light heavyweight. He made his middleweight debut in August, submitting Ryan Jensen (13-6) with a second-round armbar.
All other fighters on the card made weight.
