The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has severed ties with Aaron Tau, following a controversial incident at the weigh-ins for UFC 325. This decision comes after Tau's fight against Namsrai Batbayar was canceled due to suspicious behavior during the weigh-in process. Tau was accused of using a box to manipulate his weight reading, which initially showed 122.5 pounds, but later weighed in at 129 pounds without the box. This incident marks the end of Tau's journey in the Road to UFC Season 4, a second chance he had earned after previously losing to Elijah Smith in September 2024. Tau's overall professional record stands at 11-1, including two-division championship titles in XFC. The UFC's decision to cut ties with Tau has sparked debate among fans and analysts, raising questions about the integrity of the weigh-in process and the potential consequences for future fighters.
