UFC on ESPN+ 26 headliners Paul Felder and Dan Hooker were the first two fighters on the scale at official weigh-ins.

The lightweight contenders, who meet in Saturday’s main event (Sunday locally), successfully hit the mark at the Friday morning session, which took place at the UFC host hotel in Auckland, New Zealand.

Felder tipped the scale at 155.5 pounds; Hooker came in at 156, the divisional limit for a non-title bout.

The main event at UFC on ESPN+ 26, which goes down at Spark Arena and streams on ESPN+, is the first under the UFC banner for both Felder (17-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) and Hooker (19-8 MMA, 9-4 UFC).
