Friday morning, the official weigh-in window of UFC Vegas 109 took place. Just like the weigh-in window from last weekend\u2019s show<\/a>, there were a few headaches on the scales earlier today out in Nevada with the first attempt to weigh-in for some fighters.<\/p>\n

\nHernandez Exceeds Weight at First Time of Asking for UFC Vegas 109 Main Event<\/p>\n

While Roman Dolidze<\/a> (185 1\/2 lbs) weighed-in within the 186-lb middleweight nontitle target for the main event<\/a>, his opponent, Anthony Hernandez<\/a> (186 1\/2 lbs), came in a half of a pound over the allotted weight on Friday morning. At least, this was the case initially.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Later on in the official weigh-in window, he returned to the scales and weighed-in again, this time hitting the mark at 186 lbs even.<\/a> As such, Hernandez will retain all of his wages for the show.<\/p>\n

Stoliarenko, Edwards Also Need Second Attempts to Make Weight Ahead of UFC Vegas 109<\/p>\n

Initially, Julija Stoliarenko<\/a> (126 1\/4 lbs) exceeded the flyweight nontitle maximum by a quarter of a pound on Friday morning. She, too, needed to come back later on in the morning, but just like Anthony Hernandez in the UFC Vegas 109 main event, the second chance proved to be successful, coming in at 126 lbs on the button. Her adversary Gabriella Fernandes (125 1\/2 lbs) weighed-in below the maximum on the first try.<\/p>\n

Joselyne Edwards<\/a> (136 1\/4 lbs) was also a quarter of a pound over the contracted weight for her bantamweight affair at the Friday weigh-ins. However, she later came back to the scales and recorded an on-target weight of 136 lbs. Priscilla Cachoeira weighed-in below the target at 134.<\/p>\n
