I saw some tweets from fighters who fought on the same card and they said same thing - that the backstage scale showed 0.5 less than what was read on the official scale.
Apparently, this was happening because someone reset the scale overnight:

Gaethje said he didn’t have any problems with the scale though, so who knows.
Dana did say he would assign a security guard to watch the backstage scale from on, so hopefully this doesn’t happen again, if that is what happened.
Just seems silly that people are allowed to go up to a pound over for non-title fights, but it’s not allowed for title fights.
