The highly anticipated fight card for UFC 227 took place on Saturday, Aug. 4, from within the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. With the exciting fight card now in the books, the time has come to take a look at what the event’s competitors weighed on fight night.
The live pay-per-view event took place under the watchful eye of the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC). With that in mind, CSAC rules state that any fighter that is above 10 percent of their contracted weight class during a fight-day weigh-in check is then vulnerable to being suggested to move up a weight class in the future.
Well, only six fighters fit within CSAC’s standards on Saturday. Check out the full results below, as provided by MMA Fighting.
