This weekend sees one of the biggest PPV events of the year, going down at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. This is the complete weigh-in results for UFC 263: Israel Adesanya vs Marvin Vettori 2.
UFC 263 features a massive title fight in the middleweight division, as Adesanya looks to rebound from his first pro MMA loss. After a failed attempt to capture a second title, he returns to 185lb, for a rematch with Vettori.
The co-main sees a second title fight, this time at flyweight, as Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno run back their December draw. Additionally, Nate Diaz makes his return in the first ever non-title, non-main event 5-round fight, taking on top welterweight contender Leon Edwards.
UFC 263 Weigh-In Results
UFC 263 will be taking place in an arena with fans in attendance. So in addition to there being fans at the press conference on Thursday, there will also be a ceremonial weigh-in Friday evening, where fans can see the fighters face off.
Before that though, the 28 fighters competing on Saturday night had to hit the scales for the official weigh-ins on Friday morning. Steven Peterson missed weight for his featherweight bout with Chase Hooper, hitting the scales at 148.5lb.
Things were dicy for flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo, who has had issues with the scale in the past. Despite concerns, he made the 125lb limit, weighing in last, with just mere minutes to go before the time limit.
