LEMOORE, Calif., Aug. 16 — James Irvin (Pictures) was supposed to weigh 195 pounds Thursday afternoon for his fight with Kenny Ento (Pictures).

Yet when he stepped onto the scale with wobbly legs after slipping out of his slicker suit the scale read 207.

Said the Sacramento-based Irvin said as he drank from a Gatorade bottle: “I cannot cut any more weight."

WEC promoter Scott Adams told Sherdog.com that because Irvin could not make his contracted weight, the UFC veteran was off Friday’s card; Mario Rivera (Pictures) will replace him.

Rivera, coming off a loss to Jonathan Mix (Pictures) in his exhibition fight at the WEC Hitman show, agreed to take the bout with Ento on less than 24 hours notice.
