LONDON – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s UFC 286 fighter weigh-ins, where all but one fighter hit their marks on the scale.
In the main event, welterweight champion Leon Edwards (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) and ex-champ Kamaru Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC) meet in a trilogy rematch for Edwards’ title, which he took from Usman with a dramatic head-kick knockout this past August. Usman was the first fighter to come to the scale during the two-hour window in London and was 170 pounds. Edwards came about a half-hour later and was 170, as well.
In the co-feature, lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) takes on former interim champ Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC). Both fighters hit 156 pounds on the scale to make their showdown official.
