This weekend’s UFC card comes to you all the way from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku — and it will be a full slate of fights following Friday morning’s weigh-ins.
The two men in the pivotal light heavyweight main event, former champion Jamahal Hill and the recent title challeger Khalil Rountree, both hit their marks on the scales to register the non-title limit of 206-pounds ahead of a fight that will very likely not require input from the cageside judges.
Elsewhere, local hero Rafael Fiziev hit 155.5, as did his lightweight opponent Ignacio Bahamondes, while heavyweights Curtis Blaydes and Rizvan Kuniev both also came in marginally under the heavyweight limit of 265-pounds.
