LAS VEGAS – The UFC on ESPN 60 official weigh-ins are in the books, and it was a perfect session in “Sin City.”
In the main event, Virna Jandiroba (20-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) takes on former women’s strawweight title challenger Amanda Lemos (14-3-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) as they look to get one step closer to a shot at UFC gold. Lemos was the first fighter to the scale in the two-hour window and was 116 pounds. Jandiroba came a minute later and was 115.5 to make the headliner official without any drama.
In the middleweight co-main event, Junyong Park (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Brad Tavares (20-9 MMA, 15-9 UFC) had no issues, either. Park was 186 and Tavares was a hook under at 185.5. But just minutes after the weigh-ins wrapped up – and minutes after Tavares left the scale – it was announced the fight is canceled because of “a medical issue involving Park.” No further explanation was given, and Park did not seem to have issues when he made weight about 10 minutes into the session.
The weigh-ins took place at the UFC Apex, which also hosts Saturday’s event (ESPN/ESPN+).
