Facing a heavy opponent
Vidal's scheduled bantamweight matchup against Joselyne Edwards will proceed as planned despite Edwards missing weight Friday morning, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a tough break for Vidal, who is already sitting as a betting underdog of approximately (+200) or greater, and now has the cards stacked against her even further given what essentially amounts to cheating on Edwards' end. At the very least, Vidal will gain 25 percent of Edwards' purse for allowing the bout to proceed.

Opponent misses weight
Vidal's opponent for UFC Vegas 99, Joselyn Edwards, missed weight ahead of the fighters' bantamweight clash, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards weighed in at 139 pounds, which is three pounds over the bantamweight limit counting the one-pound allowance for non-title fights. It's now unclear if the fight will proceed as scheduled, and if so, how much of Edwards' purse will be forfeited as a result.

Slated to take on Edwards
Vidal will take on Joselyn Edwards in a bantamweight bout at UFC Vegas 99 on Oct. 19, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Vidal is in desperate need of a win after two straight losses, the latter of which came at the hands of Melissa Gatto and was rather uncompetitive. She'll get a shot to right the ship against Edwards, who is also in need of a victory after dropping her last two fights. A loss here would drop Vidal's UFC record to 1-2.

Not competitive in Vegas loss
Vidal lost to Melissa Gatto via TKO (punch) at 0:37 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Vidal entered as a +300 underdog, which proved to be nowhere near a high enough number. She was battered on the feet by Gatto, and when that wasn't enough, Vidal found herself planted on the ground. She displayed very little awareness in terms of mat defending, but it was a punch to the chest at the start of Round 3 that severely damaged Vidal and forced referee Chris Tognoni to step in. The Brazilian is still just 25 years of age, but nothing in her background suggests any sort of breakthrough is forthcoming. Vidal drops to 1-2 in her first three UFC bouts.

Fighting new opponent
Vidal will face off against Melissa Gatto at a UFC event on May 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Vidal will take on Melissa Gatto in May after Hailey Cowan dropped out of their rescheduled bout. The 25-year-old Brazilian, who is 1-1 in her UFC career, will look to continue building her resume against Gatto.
