The tweet read:

"All these cowards tried to making up stories that UFC officials messed up the scales , everyone on the card made weight and just 2 fighters missed , these people behind the scene work extremely hard all the time and that’s so weak trying to blame them you should be ashame."

Following the failed weight cut in the second attempt, a visibly shocked Charles Oliveira opined there was something wrong with the scales backstage.

“I went to bed, wake up the following day, (on) the UFC scale its a pound over. I’m 1(lbs) over and I don’t understand what happened. We work, we’re professionals, I did not do anything wrong. To me, it was it didn’t make sense." Oliveira had said.

What do you make of these complaints from Charles Oliveira and team. Do you think there's a possibility the scales backstage would have been tampered with?
