Weigh-in day has finally arrived for UFC 316, which takes place this Saturday (June 7) at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
The weigh-ins will see 26 fighters step onto the scale today (June 6) in Newark ahead of the stacked 13-fight card scheduled to take place tomorrow night.
UFC 316 is topped by a pair of bantamweight title bouts, with Julianna Peña set to defend her women’s belt against Kayla Harrison before Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley close out the night with a rematch of their UFC 306 meeting that saw Dvalishvili claim O’Malley’s title via unanimous decision.
The main card also includes a middleweight bout between Kelvin Gastelum and Joe Pyfer that was originally scheduled to take place in Mexico City earlier this year, and Mario Bautista will now welcome former Bellator Bantamweight Champion Patchy Mix to the UFC after Marlon “Chito” Vera was forced to withdraw from the card due to injury.
A welterweight bout featuring Vicente Luque and Kevin Holland opens the main card action, and the night’s prelims are highlighted by a number of intriguing matchups such as Bruno Silva vs. Joshua Van and Serghei Spivac vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta.
The early prelims are set to kick off at 6:00 p.m. ET tomorrow night, and before that you can check out a live stream of the UFC 316 Morning Weigh-In Show starting at 9:00 a.m. ET as well as full results from the weigh-ins.
