UFC Rio Rancho weigh-in video and staredowns: Corey Anderson vs. Jan Blachowicz

UFC Rio Rancho weigh-in face-offs

---

Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 25 fight card is set after the top end of the card made weight at Friday’s official weigh-in in Rio Rancho, N.M. Only one fighter missed the mark.

The fight card is headlined by a pivotal light heavyweight bout that could determine Jon Jones’s next challenger if Dominick Reyes isn’t granted an immediate rematch following their close UFC 247 headliner. 

Corey Anderson is on a four-fight winning streak with wins over some of the top fighters in the division, so he has been clamoring for a title shot already. If he notches a victory over Jan Blachowicz in New Mexico, it would be extremely difficult for UFC officials to deny him a shot at the belt.

Blachowicz isn’t far behind. Though he was tripped up early last year by Thiago Santos, Santos has already been granted a title shot and failed to claim the belt. Having notched wins over Luke Rockhold and Jacare Souza since that time, adding a win over Anderson to the list would certainly nudge Blachowicz close to title contention.

Neither man had issue with the scale in Rio Rancho. Anderson weighed 205 pounds, while Blachowicz was 206 pounds, which is the upper limit for a light heavyweight non-title fight.
