UFC Vegas 104 Weigh-In Results: Three Contestants Come in Heavy

Prelims begin at just past 4 pm ET/ 1 pm PT on ESPN+. Main card action follows at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT.  However,  although the main event of the evening between Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze had both contestants weigh-in on-target for the show on Saturday, there were a few hiccups on the scales today.

UFC Vegas 104 Co-Main Event Fighter Misses Contracted Weight

Although Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos made weight for his welterweight co-main event at UFC Vegas 104 without any issues at 171 lbs, his opponent in the fight, Chidi Njokuani, weighed in at 172 1/4 lbs. As a result of this, he’ll forfeit some of his purse to Zaleski dos Santos.

This was one of three issues cropping up during the official weigh-ins on Friday morning.

Light Heavyweight Contestant Fails to Make Weight Badly

Another main card fight for UFC Vegas 104 was also plagued by a combatant failing to make weight earlier this morning. Diyar Nurgozhay exceeded the light heavyweight nontitle maximum ahead of his first walk in the promotion by 4 1/2 lbs.

His adversary, Brendson Ribeiro, weighed-in a half-pound below the light heavyweight limit at 205 1/2 lbs. Whether this fight will proceed as a catchweight or get postponed is still a question this afternoon.

Bantamweight Fighter Just Misses Mark Ahead of UFC Vegas 104

The third contestant to exceed the nontitle maximum at Friday morning’s weigh-in didn’t miss the target by too much. Josias Musasa, scheduled to face Carlos Vera tomorrow at the UFC Apex in his UFC promotional debut, exceeded the bantamweight limit by half of a pound at 136 1/2 lbs.

Vera, on the other hand, was on weight at 136 today.
