Before the action gets underway this weekend in “Sin City,” which also features a light heavyweight contender showcase pitting Thiago Santos against Aleksandar Rakic, as well as a lightweight clash between Islam Makhachev and Drew Dober, all 30 fighters must hit the scale to prove themselves worthy.
