LIVE! UFC 294 Early Weigh Ins Results!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to the pay-per-view (PPV) market this Sat. (Oct. 21, 2023) for the “Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2” mixed martial arts (MMA) fight card, held inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE. UFC 294 will be headlined by the lightweight title fight between current 155-pound champion Islam Makhachev and reigning featherweight kingpin Alex Volkanovski, a hastily-assembled rematch from the UFC 284 event in Perth (that ended in favor of the Dagestani). In the UFC 294 co-headliner, former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman steps up on short notice to battle undefeated middleweight Khamzat Chimaev. Elsewhere on the card, light heavyweight fan favorite Johnny Walker tangles with Magomed Ankalaev for a spot in the 205-pound title chase.

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

The UFC 294 early (and official) weigh ins will stream LIVE from the promotion’s host hotel in the embedded video above starting promptly at 1 a.m. ET, which is late Thursday night at 10 p.m. PT for you folks operating on Pacific Time. The festivities are expected to last roughly two hours but could end much earlier depending on how quickly all 26 fighters get to the scale. Remember, the promotion will also stage the UFC 294 ceremonial weigh ins — complete with fighter staredowns — live from Etihad Arena at 9 a.m. ET on Friday morning.
