The UFC later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/official-weigh-results-ufc-fight-night-allen-vs-duncan-vegas-122\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> that Prado vs. Bonfim will proceed at a catchweight with Bonfim forfeiting 25 percent of his purse as penalty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Two other fighters also missed weight for Saturday\u2019s card, with Ketlen Souza (117)* coming in one pound over the strawweight limit, and Brendson Ribeiro (208.5) coming in 2.5 pounds over the light heavyweight limit. Their respective bouts against Loopy Godinez (115.5) and Felipe Franco (205) proceed as catchweights with, Souza and Ribeiro forfeiting 20 percent of their purses as penalty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In better news, middleweight headliners Brendan Allen (186) and Christian Leroy Duncan (185) both successfully made weight. Saturday\u2019s main event is a pivotal matchup for both men as Allen fights to stay near the front of the contender line, while Duncan has a chance to knock off another highly ranked opponent after defeating one-time title challenger Jared Cannonier in his most recent outing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Check out UFC Vegas 122 official weigh-in results below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Main Card (Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Brendan Allen (186) vs. Christian Leroy Duncan (185)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Matheus Camilo (156) vs. Jai Herbert (155)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Loopy Godinez (115.5) vs. Ketlen Souza (117)*<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Andre Fili (145.5) vs. Kai Kamaka III (146)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Malcolm Wellmaker (136) vs. Otari Tanzilovi (136)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Preliminary Card (Paramount+ at 5 p.m. ET)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Julius Walker (205.5) vs. Gerald Meerschaert (205.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Francisco Prado (155) vs. Ismael Bonfim (163.5)**<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Niko Price (170.5) vs. Leon Shahbazyan (171)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Felipe Franco (205) vs. Brendson Ribeiro (208.5)***<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Allen Frye (246) vs. RJ Harris (261)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Alice Pereira (136) vs. Daria Zhelezniakova (136)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Ernesta Kareckaite (126) vs. Melissa Gatto (126)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">*Souza missed weight.
