The UFC has yet to give official word on Marshall’s status, but he will likely be fined a percentage of his purse and his prelim headliner against Hope will likely move forward as a catchweight bout.

Marshall's miss was the lone blemish of Friday's proceedings in Las Vegas — all 23 other fighters on the card hit their required weights, including main-eventers Renato Moicano (156) and Tom Nolan (155.5), both of whom hit their marks for their five-round lightweight showdown.

UFC Vegas 123 goes down Saturday at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
