BOSTON — The road to Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card has been bumpy. But Friday’s weigh-ins at TD Garden went off without a hitch.
All 26 fighters made weight for Saturday’s bouts, including light heavyweight headliners Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Chael Sonnen. Rua, the former UFC light heavyweight champion, weighed in at 205, the same number hit by Sonnen.
Post weigh-in staredowns went off without incident as well. The closest thing to a skirmish came between featherweights Conor McGregor and Max Holloway. McGregor, who got the biggest crowd reaction of the undercard fighters, and Holloway went forehead-to-forehead before they were separated by UFC president Dana White.
