The biggest promotion in MMA is back on pay-per-view this weekend, with UFC 255 going down in Las Vegas. This is the results of Friday’s early weigh-ins.
Sitting atop the card for this weekend’s UFC is not one, but two flyweight title fights. In the men’s flyweight division, Deiveson Figueiredo will be looking to make the first defense of his title, against Alex Perez. Originally the bout was expected to be against former bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt, but injury forced the challenger out. Then on the women’s side of things Valentina Shevchenko hopes to continue her dominant reign when she takes on Jennifer Maia in the co-main event. Also featured on the card are notable names like Mike Perry, Cynthia Calvillo, Shogun Rua, and more.
UFC 255 Weigh-In Results
As per usual, before the competitors can throw down for UFC 255 on Saturday night, they must first take on the scales on Friday. Champion Deiveson Figueiredo has had some troubles making weight in the past, but this proved to not be an issue. Additionally Mike Perry missed weight by 4.5lb after some troubling comments earlier in the day about not being able to cut the weight. He will still fight Tim Means, but will be forfeiting 30% of his purse for missing weight.
