The UFC Vegas 18 heavyweight main event between Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov, as well as the pivotal bantamweight co-main event pitting Frankie Edgar opposite Cory Sandhagen are set following Friday’s weigh-in.
The UFC Vegas 18 weigh-in went off without a hitch with all but Overeem and prelim fighter Martin Day making weight little more than an hour into the two-hour weigh-in window.
Day and Overeem were last to the scale, weighing in with 20 minutes left in the weigh-in window.
Both the UFC Vegas 18 main and co-main events have title implications on the line. Overeem and Volkov are each on the cusp of heavyweight contention, while Sandhagen vs. Edgar could determine the next bantamweight challenger.
UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is currently expected to defend his belt against Francis Ngannou. Petr Yan, the UFC bantamweight titleholder, will put his belt on the line against Aljamain Sterling in his first title defense.
