With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-results\/465515\/ufc-sacramento-live-results-highlights-streaming-play-by-play-updates-hernandez-vs-rodrigues\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFC Sacramento<\/a> officially in the books, CSAC released the fight night weights from this past weekend (Sat., Aug. 22, 2026) inside Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">And there were several interesting takeaways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Rodrigues weighed 185 pounds on Friday before adding 19.4 pounds to reach 204.4 pounds on fight night. Hernandez, meanwhile, went from 186 pounds to 202.2 pounds, gaining 16.2 pounds overnight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Perhaps the most eye-popping (and largest) weight gain came from Featherweight knockout artist, Marcio Barbosa, who scored a first round finish over Ryan Kuse (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-results\/466589\/highlights-marcio-barbosa-flattens-ryan-kuse-with-a-single-shot-ufc-sacramento\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Indeed, the Brazilian weighed 145.5 pounds on Friday, but packed on a staggering 25.5 pounds to enter the Octagon at 171 pounds, putting him squarely in Welterweight territory. Kuse only weighed 153.2 pounds on fight night, meaning Barbosa held a massive 17.8-pound advantage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Checkout the complete list of UFC Sacramento fight night weights below (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/ufc\/506861\/ufc-sacramento-fight-night-weights-gregory-rodrigues-only-weighed-just-2-pounds-more-than-anthony-hernandez\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Fighting<\/a>):<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) is one of the only major commissions that routinely releases athletes\u2019 fight night&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":442465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[152120,121,123,122,152122,152123,174369,166402],"class_list":["post-442464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-ufc-results","tag-ufc-weigh-ins"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/442465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
