The fighters took to the scale in Tennessee ahead of UFC Nashville, with 23 of the 24 athletes set for action hitting their contracted weights during the two-hour early-morning session.
The event will be headlined by a 140-pound catchweight bout between bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Rob Font. Font’s short-notice appearance in the main event, as a replacement for Umar Nurmagomedov, meant that the card-topper in Tennessee would be contested at a catchweight, and both men hit the scale within the limit – Sandhagen coming in at 139.5 pounds, and Font weighing in at 139.
The two strawweight contenders set for action in the co-main event both made weight with half a pound to spare, as former champion Jessica Andrade and returning contender Tatiana Suarez registered identical weights as they tipped the scale at 115.5 pounds.
Everyone else on the 12-fight card made weight, bar one man. Dennis Buzukja was drafted in to fight on short notice, and came in half a pound over the 146-pound non-title limit for his featherweight bout with Sean Woodson.
