The UFC Rio weigh-ins are over, and only one fighter on the card missed weight, and it was by a significant margin.
Fight fans can breathe easy knowing that all of the main card fighters successfully made weight. Both headliners Charles Oliveira and Mateusz Gamrot tipped the scales at 156 pounds. Co-headliners Deiveson Figueiredo and Montel Jackson also made weight for their bantamweight clash.
Welterweights Vicente Luque and Joel Alvarez made their bout official as well. Luque clocked in at 170 pounds, while Alvarez took advantage of the one-pound allowance for non-title bouts. Heavyweights Jhonata Diniz and Mario Pinto had no problem making weight for their heavyweight collision.
The lone fighter to miss weight on the entire card was preliminary fighter Saimon Oliveira, who was contracted to make the bantamweight limit. Instead, he clocked in as a featherweight, weighing 144 pounds. The bout is expected to go on at a catchweight.
