The UFC once again conducted an early weigh-ins for this event, so all of the fighters’ official weights have already been registered. The ceremonial weigh-ins will be held at 6PM ET/3PM PT inside Mexico City Arena, site of tomorrow’s event.
A critical lightweight shootout between former champion Rafael Dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson headline Saturday’s featured contest. Both fighters hit their required marks on the scale.
It was a completely different, yet similar, story for Charles Oliveira (pictured), however. The Brazilian came in a whopping nine pounds heavy for his non-title featherweight tilt with Ricardo Lamas.
Oliveira accepted the bout at the last-minute, but it doesn’t change the fact this was the fifth time he has come in heavy in his UFC career.
