LIVE! UFC 285 Early Weigh Ins!

What did Jon Jones weigh for his heavyweight debut?

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just one day away from the upcoming UFC 285 pay-per-view (PPV) event on ESPN+, scheduled for this Sat. night (March 4, 2023) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC 285 will be headlined by the vacant heavyweight title fight pitting the returning Jon Jones against former interim kingpin Ciryl Gane, a five-round showdown that follows the women’s flyweight contest between current 125-pound champion Valentina Shevchenko and No. 6-ranked title contender Alexa Grasso.

But before they can fight, they must first weigh in.

The UFC 285 early (and official) weigh ins will stream LIVE from the UFC APEX facility in the embedded video above starting promptly at 12 p.m. ET. The festivities are expected to last roughly two hours but could end much earlier depending on how quickly all 28 fighters get to the scale. Remember, the promotion will also stage the UFC 285 ceremonial weigh ins — complete with fighter staredowns — live from MGM Grand Garden Arena at 7 p.m. ET.
