Saturday’s championship heavy fight card is set now that the UFC 259 weigh-in results are official.
All three title fights got the green light on Friday with all six athletes in the championship bouts stepping on the scale within the first 25 minutes of the two-hour weigh-in window.
While UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz weighed in at 205 pounds on the nose, the top end of the limit, his opponent took a remarkedly different approach.
When most fighters get as big as possible and then have a drastic weight cut during fight week, middleweight champ Israel Adesanya didn’t follow the norm. He stepped on the scale at 200.5 pounds, pizza box in hand, in his quest to become a two-division champion.
