LAS VEGAS — For the second time in as many days, every fighter scheduled to compete on a UFC card successfully made weight, although No. 1-ranked middleweight contender Yoel Romero had a close call.
The physically imposing Cuban needed to shed all of his clothing to weigh in at the 185-pound limit for middleweight title fights—middleweights competing in non-title bouts are given a one-pound allowance. The “Soldier of God” meets Robert Whittaker in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 213 with an interim title on the line.
The headline bout features women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes looking to defend her title against Valentina Shevchenko.
Former UFC champions Fabricio Werdum and Anthony Pettis are also set to fight on the main card, taking on Alistair Overeem and Jim Miller, respectively.
