UFC 311 takes place on Saturday night, and MMA News is here to bring you the final faceoffs from the ceremonial weigh-ins!

The upcoming pay-per-view event at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California provides a chance for UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev to record his fourth successful title defense.

While that was initially set to come in the form of a rematch opposite top contender Arman Tsarukyan, a back injury sustained during his weight cut forced the planned challenger to withdraw. Stepping in on 24 hours’ notice will be Renato Moicano, who was originally slated to share the cage with Beneil Dariush on Saturday’s main card.

The stakes will also be high in the co-main event, which will see undefeated bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili look to complete his ascent to the top by unseating current kingpin Merab Dvalishvili in his first defense.

Elsewhere on the UFC 311 card, a pair of former light heavyweight champs in Ji?í Procházka and Jamahal Hill collide, the always entertaining Kevin Holland meets ex-ONE Championship titleholder Reinier de Ridder, and Jailton Almeida and Serghei Spivac battle to establish themselves in the heavyweight title picture.

Ahead of the event, all fighters set to compete tomorrow night successfully made weight, and all that remains on Friday is for the athletes to face off one final time at the UFC 311 ceremonial weigh-ins!

Check out a live stream via the official UFC YouTube channel below, commencing at 7 PM ET.

UFC 311 weigh in results

On Saturday, January 18, the UFC heads to the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California for its first pay-per-view lineup of 2024.

In the main event of the evening, reigning lightweight world champion Islam Makhachev will put his gold on the line for the fourth time when he meets the division’s top-ranked contender, Arman Tsarukyan. It’ll be a rematch more than five years in the making after the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ spoiled Tsarukyan’s UFC debut all the way back in April 2019.

And in the co-main event, newly minted bantamweight king Merab Dvalishvili defends his title against undefeated sensation Umar Nurmagomedov for the first time.

Rounding out the main card is a light heavyweight showdown with major title implications as both Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka look to bounce back from their brutal losses against the division’s top dog, Alex Pereira. Perennial contender Beneil Dariush returns to the Octagon determined to snap rising star Renato Moicano’s four-fight win streak, and Kevin Holland tries to spoil the sophomore appearance of former two-division ONE world champion Reinier de Ridder.

But before they can step inside the Octagon, all 28 fighters must step on the scale to weigh in for their respective bouts. Did everyone hit their mark? Find out below:

We’re deep into UFC 311 fight week, meaning it’s time for the fighters set to be in action on Jan. 18 to take to the stage and answer some questions.

The MMA leader’s first numbered event of the new year takes place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, where the main attraction will see UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev put his belt on the line against a challenger he’s previously gotten the better of, Arman Tsarukyan.

Setting the stage for the UFC 311 headliners will be another title fight, this time at 135 pounds. Bantamweight kingpin Merab Dvalishvili will look to emerge victorious from his first defense, as he puts the gold he captured four months ago at stake against the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov.

Also on pay-per-view will be a clash of former light heavyweight champions Ji?í Procházka and Jamahal Hill, both of whom make the walk for the first time since their respective knockout losses to Alex Pereira in 2024. That’s in addition to an important battle of top 10 lightweights, as Beneil Dariush looks to stall the rise of Renato Moicano.

The UFC 311 main card will open with the always entertaining Kevin Holland, who will look to begin his 2025 by snapping the losing skid he fell to last year. To do so, “Trailblazer” must hand former two-division ONE Championship titleholder Reinier de Ridder his first UFC defeat.

As is customary during major fight weeks, the athletes will take to the stage on Thursday for the UFC 311 pre-fight press conference. The latest edition will see every fighter on the main card with mic in hand.

Check out a live stream of the presser below via the UFC’s official YouTube channel, commencing at 10 PM ET.
