At the UFC 324 official weigh-in on Saturday, American bantamweight Cameron Smotherman slammed on the floor.

Smotherman looked shaky on the scales inside the T-Mobile Arena on Friday morning.

Smotherman made his way to the side of the stage where he fainted and fell on his face after his weight was recorded as 133. 5 (9st 9. 5).

The 28-year-old came round after a brief delay after UFC officials immediately rushed to his side. Before being taken off the stage, he received medical attention from the doctor and officials.

Smotherman and Ricky Turcios were scheduled to fight in a three-round bantamweight fight on the preliminary card, but the match has since been postponed.

All UFC competitors are required to weigh in the day before a match and have their official weights recorded.
