UFC 293 weigh-in results: Only one miss, and it’s by a lot – but fight goes on

SYDNEY – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC 293 fighter weigh-ins.

The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Sydney and preceded the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which take place at 6 a.m. ET at Qudos Bank Arena. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and early prelims on ESPN+.

Among those weighing in were middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (24-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC) and challenger Sean Strickland (27-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC), who meet in the main event. They both came in under championship weight, as did backup fighter Jared Cannonier at 184.85 pounds.
