Matt Brown, who headlines the event against Robbie Lawler missed weight at 172.5 lbs. 1 and a half pounds over weight. He was willing to weigh-in again but the California State Athletic Commission did not allow him to. Therefore, he will not be fined the 20% purse and will still be eligible to win bonuses.
Juliana Lima on the other hand, will be fined 20% of her purse. She weighed in a pound over weigh and was allowed to weigh-in again and did so. She only lost half a pound. Therefore, she will be fined and will not be eligible for bonuses.
UFC on Fox 12 takes place in San Jose, California and is headlined by Robbie Lawler vs. Matt Brown. The winner will be considered the #1 contender in the welterweight division and will have a chance to dethrone current champion Johny Hendricks and obtain the belt.
