UFC Fight Night 188 weigh-in results: One miss with late replacement, but Font-Garbrandt official

LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 188 fighter weigh-ins.

The weigh-ins took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The same venue hosts Saturday’s card, which airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+.

Among those weighing in were former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt (12-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Rob Font (18-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC), who meet in the main event, and former women’s strawweight champ Carla Esparza (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC), who takes on Yan Xiaonan (13-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC).

All four made weight without issue.

The lone miss on the day came from Juancamilo Ronderos(4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who stepped on less than one day’s notice but came up short of the flyweight limit. He was fined 20 percent of his purse, but the bout with David Dvorak (19-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will go on as scheduled.
