The official weigh-ins for the upcoming UFC card took place early Friday morning at the promotion’s host hotel on Yas Island, ahead of the ceremonial weigh-ins for fans at 10 a.m. ET inside Etihad Arena—the same venue that will stage Saturday’s event.
Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and challenger Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) successfully hit their marks for the main event showdown. In the co-main, Virna Jandiroba (22-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Mackenzie Dern (15-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) both made weight for their battle over the vacant women’s strawweight title.
All main card fighters came in on point, but the undercard saw a couple of missteps on the scale. Jose Delgado missed weight for his featherweight bout against Nathaniel Wood, while Azat Maksum came in significantly over the flyweight limit for his matchup with Mitch Raposo.
