LIVE: UFC 305 early weigh ins video results! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just one day away from the upcoming UFC 305 pay-per-view (PPV) event on ESPN+, scheduled for this Sat. night (Aug. 17, 2024) at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia. UFC 305 will be headlined by the middleweight title fight featuring reigning 185-pound champion, Dricus Du Plessis, against former division titleholder, Israel Adesanya, a five-round showdown that follows a stacked UFC 305 main card, also showcasing the 125-pound brouhaha pitting Kai Kara-France in a flyweight fracas opposite one-time title challenger Steve Erceg.
But before they can fight, they must first weigh in.
UFC 305’s early (and official) weigh ins will stream LIVE from the promotion’s host hotel in the embedded video above starting promptly at 6 p.m. ET. The festivities are expected to last roughly two hours, but could end much earlier depending on how quickly all 24 fighters get to the scale. The promotion will also stage the UFC 305 ceremonial weigh ins complete with fighter staredowns RIGHT HERE live from RAC Arena at 11 p.m. ET. Remember, today’s weigh ins will permit a one-pound allowance in non-title fights, but championship contests must return exact weights … no exceptions.
