The UFC Vegas 20 weigh-in results are in the books following Friday’s official tipping of the scales at the Apex in Las Vegas.
Heavyweight contenders Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane square off in the UFC Vegas 20 main event, looking to take the next step toward title contention.
Rozenstruik currently sits at No. 4 in the UFC heavyweight rankings, while Gane is ranked No. 7. The winner won’t move into an immediate shot at the belt, as champion Stipe Miocic is currently slated to fight Francis Ngannou with the winner expected to defend against Jon Jones. There is also Derrick Lewis, who recently defeated Curtis Blaydes, waiting in the wings.

For the first time in ages, the heavyweight division feels like it has a fresh set of contenders and potentially future champions (just look at last Saturday’s winners Chris Daukaus, Tom Aspinall, and Serghei Spivac). But there’s a logjam at the top that needs to be resolved and until it does, the UFC’s heaviest weight class is going to continue moving at a glacial pace.
Derrick Lewis’ knockout of Curtis Blaydes didn’t clear up the situation much and there’s no way to tell how much closer Rozenstruik or Gane get to a title shot with a win. The good thing for the fans is none of that matters because we get to watch two of the UFC’s most intriguing heavyweight contenders throw down in what could be a more tactical battle than expected.
