The Ultimate Fighting Championship's return to France will have one less fight than planned after a huge weight miss during the UFC Paris weigh-ins took place.

A highly anticipated featherweight fight between Patricio Freire and Losene Keita has been pulled from the card, which now has 13 fights in total. This comes after Keita unprofessionally came in at 149 pounds, which is three pounds over the featherweight limit. All other fighters made weight for the event, which is headlined by middleweight contenders Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho.

This marks the fifth UFC main event for Imavov (16-4, 1 NC). "The Sniper" will be the hometown favorite and is riding a four-fight win streak. Most recently, the French fighter knocked out Israel Adesanya and won a decision over Brendan Allen. The 30-year-old stepped on the scale weighing 185 pounds on the dot.

Meanwhile, Borralho (17-1, 1 NC) is on an even longer winning streak as he hasn't lost since entering the UFC. On his 14-fight win streak, "The Natural" most recently picked up wins over Jared Cannonier and Paul Craig. The Brazilian will look to claim the biggest victory of his career and potentially nab a title shot in the process. Borralho also weighed 185 pounds exactly.

UFC Paris will air in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday. Prelims begin at noon ET/9 a.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT.
