UFC on ESPN 44 weigh-in results: One fighter misses weight in return to Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC on ESPN 44 fighter weigh-ins.

The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Kansas City, Mo., and precede the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which take place at 5 p.m. ET at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on ESPN following prelims on ESPN+.

Among those weighing in were former featherweight champion Max Holloway (23-7 MMA, 19-7 UFC) and England’s Arnold Allen (19-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC), who has yet to lose in the UFC. Both hit their respective marks.
