The Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England hosted today’s official weigh-ins for UFC on FUEL TV: Struve vs. Miocic.
The facility will also host Saturday’s live television broadcasted event.
Heavyweight headliners Stefan Struve (251) and Stipe Miocic (239) were both well under the 265-lbs limit for their division, while co-main event fighters Dan Hardy (169) and Amir Sadollah (169) both weighed in under the 170-lbs limit.
There was only one hiccup as late replacement DaMarques Johnson (183) failed to meet the 175-lbs catchweight limit for his fight with Gunnar Nelson (175). The bout will be fought at the new catchweight of 183-lbs and Johnson will forfeit 20% of his purse to Nelson.
