We’re just over 24 hours away from the UFC 248: “Adesanya vs. Romero” pay-per-view (PPV) event, which goes down this Sat. night (March 7, 2020) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, headlined by the middleweight showdown between 185-pound kingpin, Israel Adesanya, and top-ranked power puncher, Yoel Romero.
But before they can fight, they have to weigh in.
The UFC 248 early weigh ins will take place at the UFC host hotel at 12 p.m. ET right here in the embedded video player above, followed by the ceremonial festivities — along with corresponding staredowns — at 7 p.m. ET, also featured here on MMAmania.com.
Remember, there is no one-pound allowance in title fights, meaning the main and co-main event fighters will have to be on the money when it comes time to weigh in. That may or may not be a problem for repeat offender, Yoel Romero.
