    Hmm, I wonder what that's all about. He made the flight and is at least close enough to weight that Tavares will fight but is bailing because of personal reasons? That's interesting.

    The Dennis Hallman vs. Thiago Tavares lightweight fight, scheduled to take place Friday night on the UFC on FX 5 prelims, has been canceled because Hallman failed to make weight Thursday.

    This marks the second straight fight Hallman failed to make weight for, however, the 16-year-veteran told MMAFighting.com following the weigh-ins that his misstep was related to a personal issue.

    "I'm having some personal issues at home," Hallman said. "I'm not fit to fight. I told Dana [White] what my issues were. He understands family matters, and he was cool with me not fighting."

    According to Hallman he passed out earlier today while cutting weight. At that time, he was two pounds over the 156-pound weight limit. He was then given fluids via an intravenous, which bumped him up to seven pounds over the lightweight limit.

    When Tavares was notified of this news, he said that if Hallman got down to three pounds over the limit, he would accept the fight at a catchweight. Hallman told MMAFighting.com that he did just that, but according to Hallman, Tavares then asked for him to cut one more pound.

    It was at that point that Hallman spoke to White about his personal issues and requested to be removed from the card. He said White was very understanding when he told him about his issues, which he wanted to keep private.

    According to Hallman, who also said he has not been released from his contract, he will be paid his show money. UFC sources told MMAFighting.com earlier in the day that Tavares will receive his show money as well.

    Hallman, a veteran of over 80 professional MMA fights, is the longest-tenured fighter on the current UFC roster. He is coming off a first-round submission win over John Makdessi at UFC 140, a lightweight fight he missed weight for by two and a half pounds.

    I cant believe he is paying Hallman his show money. If he was having personal problems, he shoulda said something a few weeks ago.

    I was surprised as well...I was thinking about something else...these guys were all taken care of for the 151 cancellation as well.

    Eh, you never know. Maybe Hallman was doing all he could to try not to fuck the UFC and Tavares but in the end he just couldn't do it. We don't know the backstory.

    "They are cutting me," he wrote. "Dana [White] gave me my show and win pay to help me deal with the mountain in front of me. Now I have to go make weight a couple times on the regional circuit. I'll be back to the UFC though, I always am."
    "I'm having some personal issues at home," Hallman said. "I'm not fit to fight. I told Dana [White] what my issues were. He understands family matters, and he was cool with me not fighting."

    Well at least he's got some cash. I hope that whatever it is he's dealing with is something he can overcome.
