LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s UFC 326 official weigh-ins, where everyone who came to the scale made weight – but one fight was scrapped.
In the main event, former featherweight champion Max Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23-8 UFC) puts his BMF belt on the line against former lightweight champ Charles Oliveira (36-11 MMA, 24-11 UFC). Holloway was the first fighter to the scale and was 155 pounds on the nose. Oliveira came about 20 minutes into the session and was 156.
But one preliminary card fight was canceled due to a weight-management issue. The featherweight bout between Gaston Bolanos (8-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and Jeong Yeong Lee (11-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was scrapped when Lee presumably couldn’t get close enough to attempt a weigh-in. Lee was more than a 3-1 betting favorite in the fight.
Official weigh-ins took place at the Meta APEX and preceded the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which begin at 8 p.m. ET from MGM Grand Garden Arena. The nearby T-Mobile Arena hosts Saturday’s event on Paramount+/CBS.
