Check out who made and missed on the scale at UFC Fight Island.
The first of who knows how many UFC Fight Island cards kicks off tomorrow in Abu Dhabi. Headlining the event will be a UFC welterweight title fight between champion Kamaru Usman and challenger Jorge Masvidal.
Also scheduled for the card are two other title fights; Alex Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway (featherweight) and Petr Yan vs. Jose Aldo (bantamweight).
Thankfully the MMA gods were not feeling mischievous today—Lord knows they’ve had plenty of fun up to now. All title fight competitors made the official weight so all three championship bouts are a go.
