Among those weighing in were welterweight standouts Neil Magny (29-12 MMA, 22-11 UFC) and Carlos Prates (20-6 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who meet in the main event.
The originally scheduled co-headliner between Ricky Turcios and Bernardo Sopaj was called off due to a medical issue on Turcios side after he made weight.
Additionally, two preliminary-card fighters missed weight. Short-notice newcomer Zach Scroggin was three pounds over the welterweight limit for his scheduled matchup with Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, while Melissa Mullins was one pound over the women’s bantamweight limit against debuting opponent Klaudia Sygula.
