There was back and forth at UFC 280 press conference and face-offs. But before we enjoy the great day of combat sports on Saturday, there is one final stage – Charles Oliveira Vs Islam Makhachev weigh-in. All the fighters are stepping on the scales, trying to satisfy the criteria.
UFC 280 Weigh-In Time
UFC weigh-in today kicks off a bit earlier for the European fans, and very late for the diehard addicts based in the United States of America – 1 AM ET (7 AM CET). Here is the video to watch.
UFC 280 Weigh-In Results
UFC 280 full fight card looks stacked from top to bottom. Here are the official weigh-in results (zero tolerance for championship bouts, one pound is allowed for non-title fights). Both halves of the main event hit the scale, so the main event is official. Unfortunately, there was one weigh-in miss, as Katlyn Chookagian weighed 127.5 pounds for a 126-pound limit.
First to the scale, @CharlesDoBronxs is in at 154.5 pounds!
