The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to ESPN airwaves for an intriguing middleweight showdown.
Both Stephen Thompson and Kevin Holland made weight for their UFC on ESPN 42 main event. However, one undercard fighter missed weight on the card as Philip Rowe came in 2.5 pounds over the welterweight limit for his fight against Niko Price. Following the weigh-in ceremony, one additional match encountered some difficulty: Tracy Cortez, who successfully hit the 125-pound mark, has encountered a medical issue, and her fight against Amanda Ribas (125) has been pulled from the lineup.
