Things start at the PI with the champ champ, Amanda Nunes. She’s with her coach Conan Silveira are they’re just doing a light workout to cut the rest of the weight. She talks to fellow 269 fighter Santiago Ponzinibbio about what are some popular foods from his native Argentina.
Sean O’Malley is there as well. He does some bike work, then into the pool to cut the rest of his own weight.

Straight to the ceremonial weigh-ins. Joe Rogan’s here. Big crowd. Rualian Paiva and O’Malley are intense but respectful. Cody Garbrandt and Kai Kara-France get into it a bit. Nunes goes up on stage with her daughter and Nina Nunes. She shakes hands with Pena before they square off. Poirier and Oliveira do the same.
