Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently wrapped its official weigh-in event for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 165: “Edgar vs. Korean Zombie” mixed martial arts (MMA) event on ESPN+, scheduled for tomorrow (Sat., Dec. 21, 2019) inside Sajik Arena in Busan, South Korea.
Get complete UFC Busan weigh-in results and video here.
Originally topped by Brian Ortega vs. Chan Sung Jung, the promotion will now deliver Frankie Edgar to “The Korean Zombie” because Ortega was felled by injury and forced to withdraw, which means “The Answer” is unlikely to face Cory Sandhagen at UFC Raleigh in January.
Light heavyweight power punchers, Volkan Oezdemir and Aleksander Rakic, will take the stage in the co-main event at this weekend’s event, which actually starts at 2 a.m. ET later tonight if you live in the United States.
Check out their post-scale staredown, embedded below.
