Aljamain Sterling and Youssef Zalal have a lot on the line Saturday, and they didn’t mess around on the scale.
The featherweight contenders successfully made weight in at Friday’s official weigh-ins for their UFC Vegas 116 main event clash tomorrow night. Both made use of the one-pound allowance for a non-title fight with Sterling at 146 and Zalal at 145.5.
Sterling, the former bantamweight champion, is currently No. 4 at featherweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, with Zalal in at No. 9.
The co-main event also features title contention stakes as No. 4-ranked bantamweight Norma Dumont faces No. 10 Joselyne Edwards, stepping in on short notice for an injured Yana Santos. If Dumont and Edwards have been affected by the shakeup, it didn’t show on the scales, as both successfully registered at 135.5 pounds. That had to be a relief for the fighters and their teams, as Dumont and Edwards have had issues making weight on multiple occasions in the past.
All 26 fighters competing Saturday at UFC Vegas 116 successfully made weight.
