UFC Fight Night 254 Weigh-Ins: Heavy Hitters and Weight Misses

MMA fighters were in attendance at Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 254 (ESPN+) fighter weigh-ins in Las Vegas. Among those present were Marvin Vettori, Roman Dolidze, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, Chidi Njokuani, and Diyar Nurgozhay.

Marvin Vettori, a former middleweight title challenger, weighed in at 186 pounds against Roman Dolidze, with whom he will face off in the main event rematch. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (171) is set to fight Chidi Njokuani (172.25) in the welterweight co-feature.

However, two undercard fighters struggled with weight: Diyar Nurgozhay, who tipped the scales at 210.5 pounds for his light heavyweight bout against Brendson Ribeiro, was found 4.5 pounds over the limit. As a result, he will face a fine of 25% of his purse.
