There were no slip-ups on the scale as the official UFC 296 weigh-in session passed off without incident in Las Vegas.
Flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval was the first fighter to weigh-in during the two-hour session at the UFC Apex, and "Raw Dawg" kicked off proceedings by tipping the scale with half a pound to spare, at 124.5 pounds.
That promoted a run of fighters stepping on the scale and making their contracted weights. Welterweight title challenger Colby Covington also came in half a pound under for his title fight, at 169.5 pounds, while both defending champions, welterweight Leon Edwards and flyweight Alexandre Pantoja, hit championship weight on the nose, weighing in at 170 and 125 pounds, respectively.
All 24 fighters set for action made their contracted weights, as well as the backup fighters for the two title fights, welterweight Belal Muhammad and flyweight Brandon Moreno, all made weight with no misses as the entire fight card for the UFC's final pay-per-view was locked and loaded for Saturday night.
Recap the full weigh-in session via the UFC's official weigh-in show, where you'll see the fighters step on the scale to register their official weights for the event, while the regular panel of Laura Sanko, Daniel Cormier, Chris Weidman, and host Dan Hellie discussed the big matchups and faced off in some light-hearted pre-fight games.
