The UFC returns to the familiar confines of T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for a loaded pay-per-view event headlined by a light heavyweight championship clash that has fight fans split right down the middle.
In the main event of the evening, Alex Pereira puts his 205-pound title on the line for the fourth time when he meets the division’s top-ranked contender, Magomed Anakalev.
Before that, fan favorite Justin Gaethje steps back inside the Octagon for a rematch with the returning Rafael Fiziev. The first time around, Gaethje scored a majority decision victory over ‘Ataman’ at UFC 286. Now, both fighters find themselves in desperate need of a win to stay relevant atop the loaded lightweight division.
Rounding out the main card will be a couple of absolute bangers as Jalin Turner meets Ignacio Bahamondes in a 155-pound showdown while Bobby ‘King’ Green faces streaking Brazilian knockout artist Mauricio Ruffy.
But before all 24 fighters can step inside the Octagon, they’d have to step on the scale and make weight for their respective bouts. Check out all the results from Friday morning’s official weigh-ins:
