At the UFC Atlantic City weigh-ins, fighters hit their marks, but not without some drama. Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot are all set for a No. 1 contender fight, both making weight at 125 pounds. However, one fighter missed the mark, raising questions about the fate of his bout.
Blanchfield and Fiorot, two fierce contenders in the 125-pound division, displayed professionalism by hitting the scale right on target. With rankings on the line and a title shot at stake, both fighters are primed for an electrifying showdown in the octagon.
In the co-main event, welterweight stars Vicente Luque and Joaquin Buckley also successfully weighed in at 170 pounds, setting the stage for a thrilling clash between two skilled fighters.
Meanwhile, former middleweight champion Chris Weidman made weight at 186 pounds, signaling his readiness to break out of a recent slump and prove himself once again in the cage against Bruno Silva.
However, the weigh-ins weren’t without hiccups. Featherweight Julio Arce failed to make weight, coming in one pound over the limit. Despite an attempt to cut weight within the allotted time frame, Arce’s second weigh-in proved even heavier, casting uncertainty over his scheduled bout with Herbert Burns.
With the event looming, fans are left wondering if Arce’s fight will proceed as planned and what consequences he may face for missing weight.
