After the insanity that was UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, the MMA promotion is set to return to the ‘Great White North’ this weekend for an above-average Fight Night card that features a multitude of household names.
With several former world champions and a string of Canadian stars set to compete, it should prove to be an entertaining night of action out in Edmonton – but did any of the athletes miss weight?
Fight Night: Moreno vs Albazi weigh-in results as the UFC returns to Edmonton
UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs Albazi takes place on Saturday, November 2 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada – with the official weigh-ins having just wrapped up.
In what’s an increasingly rare occurrence, all 28 of the athletes who are set to compete this weekend successfully made their contractually agreed-upon weight limit.
Former champion Brandon Moreno and top contender Amir Albazi both weighed in at 125.5lbs; whilst the Mexican superstar did look much happier on the scales, ‘The Prince’ was keen to show off his shredded physique.
Moreno is coming off back-to-back losses to Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval but is coming into this weekend’s main event healthy and happy following a turbulent time in his personal life.
We haven’t seen Albazi in the octagon since June 2023, with the Iraqi finisher having recently revealed that he suffered a major health scare that almost left him paralyzed.
The two fighters competing in the co-main event of the evening, Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield, also appeared to make weight with relative ease; both fighters smiled on the scales ahead of what’s likely to be a No. 1 contender’s fight.
