As part of the new UFC tradition, fighters in Vegas hit the scales this morning, as part of the new early morning weigh-ins, to hit the scales and make their bouts official.
The fighters will also attend this evening’s weigh-ins ceremony where each will face off with their opponents for cameras and fans in attendance.
‘UFC 216: Ferguson vs. Lee’ goes down Saturday night from the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas. The night’s main card will air live on pay-per-view.
Nik Lentz never made it to the scales at today’s weigh-ins. As a result he’s been removed from the card.
