One fighter missed weight Friday at UFC 327's official weigh-ins, as lightweight Chris Padilla tipped the scale at 158 pounds on two separate attempts for his 155-pound undercard contest against MarQuel Mederos (155). As a result of the miss, which came in two pounds over the non-title lightweight limit, Padilla must forfeit 20% of his purse as a penalty and the bout will proceed as a catchweight.
Aside from that blip, Friday's official UFC 327 weigh-ins went off smoothly.
Jiri Prochazka (203) and Carlos Ulberg (204) both easily cleared the 205-pound limit for their headlining bout for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title, as did Azamat Murzakanov (205) and Paulo Costa (205) for their non-title co-main event.
UFC 327 takes place Saturday at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The event airs live on Paramount+, with a main card start time of 9 p.m. ET.
