With one exception, all fighters were on weight for ONE Fighting Championship‘s inaugural event including UFC veterans Phil Baroni, Yoshiyuki Yoshida and former WBA World super featherweight champion Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai.
The Ultimate Fighter season five contestant Andy Wang was the sole fighter to have trouble on the scales, coming in at 163.1 lbs – 4.1 lbs over the 159-pound weight limit. It is assumed at this stage that Wang’s opponent, Carlos Gracie, Jr. Brazlian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt Zorobabel Moreira, will take 15 percent of Wang’s purse and the bout will be contested at a catchweight. The bout was initially set at 155 lbs but it is believed that Wang requested the bout be moved to 159 lbs in the weeks leading up to the fight.
The first event for the Singapore-based ONE FC is set to take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore and will be broadcast on ESPN StarSports through Asia and streamed online to the rest of the world. The full weigh-in results are after the break.
