Live! UFC 261 Early Weigh-In Results!

We’re just over 24 hours away from the UFC 261: “Usman vs. Masvidal 2” pay-per-view (PPV) event, which pops off tomorrow night (Sat., April 24, 2021) from inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., headlined by the welterweight championship rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal.

But before they can fight, they have to weigh in.

The UFC 261 early weigh ins will take place at the UFC host hotel at 9 a.m. ET right here in the embedded video player above, followed by this afternoon’s ceremonial festivities — along with corresponding staredowns — at 4 p.m. ET. Remember, there is no one-pound allowance in title fights, meaning Usman and Masvidal, as well as Valentina Shevchenko, Jessica Andrade, Zhang Weili, and Rose Namajunas will all need to be on the money when it comes time to step on the scale.
