UFC light heavyweight Alex Nicholson will make his debut tomorrow night against Misha Cirkunov, but he first proposed to his girlfriend at today’s weigh-ins.
Light heavyweight Alex Nicholson is set to make his Octagon debut on the Fox Sports 1 main card of tomorrow night’s UFC Fight Night: Hendricks vs. Thompson show in Las Vegas. But before he weighed in for his fight against Misha Cirkunov, he had another task at hand, and that was to propose to his girlfriend. You can watch the video for yourself, unless you’re geoblocked, in which case watch the UFC’s Youtube video at the 17:55 mark.

For the record, Nicholson weighed in at 201 pounds, so his girlfriend accepted the marriage proposal and he comfortably made the light heavyweight limit. All that’s left to complete the trifecta is to pull off a big upset tomorrow night against Cirkunov.
