The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale weigh-ins have wrapped up, and almost everyone made weight. Unfortunately, the last one to step onto the scale was the only failure, as middleweight Julian Marquez was a whopping 190 lbs for his fight against Alessio Di Chirico. That’ll be a 30% fine for Marquez, and he’s ineligible to win a post-fight bonus.
Headliners Israel Adesanya and Brad Tavares both came in at 186, while backup plan Thiago Santos weighed 185.5 lbs, so he’s ready in case something happens to the main event.
