Live! UFC 286 Early Weigh Ins!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just one day away from the upcoming UFC 286 pay-per-view (PPV) event on ESPN+, scheduled for this Sat. night (March 18, 2023) at The O2 in London, England. UFC 286 will be headlined by the welterweight championship trilogy between newly-crowned division champion Leon Edwards and former 170-pound titleholder Kamaru Usman, a five-round showdown that follows the all-action lightweight contest between ex-title challenger Justin Gaethje and streaking Muay Thai striker Rafael Fiziev. Veteran bruisers Gunnar Nelson, Jennifer Maia, and Marvin Vettori will also see main card fisticuffs this weekend across the pond.

But before they can fight, they must first weigh in.

The UFC 286 early (and official) weigh ins will stream LIVE from the promotion’s host hotel in the embedded video above starting promptly at 5 a.m. ET. The festivities are expected to last roughly two hours but could end much earlier depending on how quickly all 28 fighters get to the scale. Remember, the promotion will also stage the UFC 286 ceremonial weigh ins — complete with fighter staredowns — live from The O2 at 2 p.m. ET right here.
