VIDEO: UFC weigh-ins take on a whole new meaning as fighter gets down on one knee to propose

SportsJOE

It would’ve been hilarious if he didn’t make weight then.

Alex Nicholson made sure his UFC debut would be one to remember as he ceased the moment before it could be taken away by a potential defeat.

The light heavyweight, who will take on Misha Cirkunov at UFC Fight Night 82, delayed stepping on the scales at the event’s weigh-ins so he could get down on one knee and propose to his girlfriend.

Thankfully, she said yes. The pair even got confused running commentary before Nicholson stripped off, weighed himself and then came face-to-face with his opponent for a square-off.

Romantic.
