UFC 253 weigh-in results: Two title fights official, two fighters miss by four pounds

All four championship headliners hit the mark for UFC 253, but two featherweights weren’t so lucky.

Reigning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (184) and challenger Paulo Costa (185) successfully made weight for Saturday’s main event in Abu Dhabi, while vacant light heavyweight title bout contestants Dominick Reyes (205) and Jan Blachowicz (205) also successfully hit championship weight.

Friday’s official weigh-ins were not without its hiccups. Featherweights Zubaira Tukhugov and Ludovit Klein both came in at 150 pounds, four pounds over the limit for their respective bouts with Hakeem Dawodu (145) and Shane Young (146).
