Misses weight, forfeits 30 percent

ANALYSIS
It's a bad miss for Taveras, who came in nearly four pounds over the bantamweight limit of 136. It's a rough look for his UFC debut after earning a contract through Dana White's Contender Series. Sidey is also making his debut, and the pair actually faced off during DWCS, with Sidey being victorious.
