In case anyone is wondering, if Hendricks would not have made weight, they probably would have fought anyway, but Hendricks would have lost a lot of money to Lawler, and he would not have been title-eligible. Lawler would have won the belt if he beat Hendricks, or the title would have remained vacant if he lost.

2 other fighters in the prelims failed to make weight initially, but only one of them was unable to make it in the extra 2 hours allotted. Renee Forte lost 20% of his appearance fee to his opponent, and won't be eligible for any bonuses.
